So, I was sleeved exactly one week ago. I am back at work (desk job) and doing fine, other than fatigue. My big excitement, however, is that I have two pairs of shorts that I wore before surgery, and they are literally falling off now- going straight into the Goodwill pile. I'm so excited. I haven't weighed myself and don't plan on it until my post-op appointment. This recovery is not easy, but it feels good to see a difference!

Hooray for all you losers!

I'm almost 7 weeks out and although my pants are getting baggy, my blouses and shirts are ridiculously huge on me. I was going to shop for new blouses over the weekend when I remembered my "other" closet. That's where I would hang clothes that were too tight, plain old too small or would be too small soon (the rate I was gaining was horrendous!). I went "shopping" in my other closet and came out with 10 new or almost new blouses and a couple pairs of slacks! Some had tags still attached!????. I saved that money I was going to use for another time when I can spend it on REALLY small clothes. ????????????Woohoo!

I am currently 2 1/2 weeks out and I went back to work after a week with no problem. As long as you take it easy you should be fine.

I have noticed a lot of my clothes fitting loosely the last few days and it is exciting to see this change happen.

      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.
