I went to one support group in May but missed June. My husband went with me and I felt I couldn't stay too long. I did enjoy talking with others after the presentation by Anna.

I was sleeved here In SA too. Dr Seger at BMW was my surgeon. My surgery date was 5/18. How are you feeling rgodfrey09? Hang in there!! I hot my a stall at 2.5 weeks but I'm back losing again. I was discouraged at first with the stall, but it's totally normal. Hope all is well with you!

Way to go Erato!!! I am feeling alright, a bit sore but to be expected post op day 2. My surgeon was Dr. Richard Englehardt with BMI of Texas. He was great, fixed a small hiatal hernia and did the sleeve. He even cleaned up a little internal scar tissue from my appendectomy last year.

I am feeling very hopeful at this point. I need to get my Fluid intake up, and hopefully the hydrocodone liquid will stop making me nauseous lol. How is everyone else?

Isn't BMI great? I had trouble with fluids too the first 2-3 days, but what really helped was Sonic ice. It's much easier to get down the ice than Water. Keep up the good work, and take it easy.

      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.
