I was sleeved on the 20th. Still on liquids until my follow up on the 2nd. I'm really missing food. I think I'm grieving foods and it's not easy. I am having trouble getting my fluids in but no trouble with Protein. I'm down 10 pounds

I had 3 oz of decafe coffee with a scoop of Protein in it this morning. Not perfect but still pretty good.

How is everyone else doing? I'm super tired still. It hit me today I may not just bounce back as quick as I have from other surgeries. I knew it was a major surgery. I researched and read everything. I was still not prepared for the level of exhaustion I feel.

Just take one day at a time. It will get better each day. Your body is telling you it needs more rest so just keep doing what you are doing.

Thanks. In my head I know this. I'm just not used to sitting still. It's the craziest thing. I have been out of my house other than to walk in my yard since I came home from surgery. I'm going to try to go to church tomorrow and see how I do. Thankfully my life is such that I don't actually have to be anywhere but where I am. I cannot imagine trying to go back to an office or the like.

My pain is better every day. To the point that it doesn't bother me unless I turn too fast etc. I keep reminding myself it will be better tomorrow and it is.

      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.
