I am 20 Years Old & 5 days post op for gastric sleeve and I am interested in hearing about the weight loss journeys of people who are in my age group. I think it'll make for great motivation.

I'm 20 also and a little over a month post-op with the sleeve. Everything has gone really smoothly for me and I've healed really quickly! The first 3-5 days sucked, but after that it just got better and better. I feel completely back to normal now :)

I'm BEGGING for better days ! I've been so miserable between pain, gas , and trying to keep down liquids

Hi! I'm 18 years old and receiving the RNY on September 23, I start my two week liquid diet on Wednesday this week. I'm also looking for people my age to communicate with! :)

don't hesitate to ask any questions I'll be more than glad to give my intake on my experience so far , I also wish you the best of luck with your procedure

I was lucky that I didn't have any gas pains, but yeah getting liquids in was horribly painful for about a week. It does get better though, pretty quickly :) I hope you feel better soon!

      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.
