@@Jb1176, and @, I have not been sleeved yet. My date is 5/19 with Dr. Lahmann at Silver Cross Hospital. I thought it was weird not seeing anyone from the area with as many people go to those seminars. So far I am really liking the people who work in the office. Seem like very helpful and caring staff

I had my consultation and really liked everyone I interacted with, doctor, staff and nurse! It was so nice! Made all my appointments for clearance this month!!

@Kk-bear Awe thanks for checking up on me. Surgery went great. They found a hiatal hernia that was repaired. I have been super sore in the stomach all week and the gas pains are killer. My shoulders were hurting yesterday so I think they have finally made it as far up as they can go. Today is a much better day. Puree Proteins are hard to eat. Not only is the texture nasty but for me during this first week every meal my tiny new stomach has been cramping something awful. Hoping to get past these stages quickly.

How is your process going?

I'm doing great! Beginning week seven post op and have been successful with following the prescribed diet, even while eating in restaurants and other people's homes. Am averaging three pounds a week in weight loss and trying to get in 3 miles walking six days a week, sometimes seven. The weather isn't helping much.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
