I'm not getting sleeved anymore I had to change things around because lately I've been having a little acid reflux and the doc said the leave would make it worse. I'm nervous cuz I really wanted the sleeve and my surgery is right around the corner August 18th

I have to get the bypass :/

Ok y'all. I'm about to cry. I have standard Wednesday night dinner plans with friends. They don't know what my surgery next week is. We discussed salmon, veggies, no carbs this week and berries for dessert. Instead we have potato/cauliflower pancakes and granita for dessert. I haven't eaten much today knowing to save most of my calories. I wish I wasn't so hungry! I guess I'm going to have to tell them sooner rather than later....

Ok day 3 update!

Gas has significantly gone done. Incision points are still extremely sore but all together not that bad. Should have been released today but I had an erratic heartbeat last night so I have to stay overnight.

Keep faith it's not that bad. The liquid diet leading up to operation is great makes you crave less when you're sipping tiny amounts of fluids out of medicine cups. Haha good luck everyone!

1 week post-op and feeling really good. For those just a day or two out, it does get better. Hang in there!

And I lost 12 lbs since surgery so I am very happy!

Have to do full liquids for another week then move to puréed. Never thought I'd be excited about puréed food but I so am!

      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.
