Hello everyone, my name is Dominique! I am 19 years old! I'm from Boston Mass, though I currently live in Florida. I'm studying to become a veterinarian and currently have my Vet assistant license issued to me by the state of Florida. I work part time as a Junior processor at a mortgage company and got to college full time! I'm 5'0 and weighed 195 prior to my gastric sleeve surgery. I had the sleeve done April 29 in Tijuana, Mexico. I am about 2 weeks in and have already lost 16 pounds! So far I have had a lot of ups and down from the surgery, and sometimes wonder if I got it too young or jumped into it too soon, but I've been getting a lot of support from family members and friends and am slowly getting stronger and more sure of my life changing choice! I hope to meet others out there with some of the same concerns and worries as me so we can get through those together! I'm a very friendly person and enjoy making new friends, so don't be afraid to message me! When not talking about my surgery I enjoy chatting about anime, animals, writing, books, music, interests, and pass times! I know a decent amount of Spanish and Italian for those who wish to talk in those languages! Thank you for reading!

Welcome to BariatricPal and congratulations on your success so far. I was sleeved April 20 and couldn't imagine going through the process without the support and what I have learned on this site.

      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.
