This is so awesome! I wish I found this months ago!!! Probably would have saved me many nights of tears!! Thank you so much for welcoming me.. I'm already searching and reading... I've joined a few groups on FB but I've been off FB for the most part.. So it didn't do me any good! This is much more discreet and I feel much more comfortable posting!

I was sleeved two days ago, and was surprised that the first 24 hours were harder than I anticipated, I'm feeling pretty good today and so excited for what's to come! I am excited for you too, the time is going to fly by and before you know it you will be on this side of the journey...on a path to health and wellness! Congrats!!

You will probably notice huger improvement just from one day to the next in these early days. And in two weeks you won't believe how much better you fee. Once you make it to "normal" feeling again, it will be smooth sailing. For me that was a couple weeks after I was back on solid foods and had figured out how much to safely eat at a time. Every day and week will bring a whole host of learning experiences early on.

Well done. You've tackled a tough aspect right away. Huge respect for this.

I was sleeved 8 days ago and have been very pleased with how smoothly the whole process has been.

This place is great. The phone app is cool......but the full blown pc/mac version is awesome. You can get in and look at all the inspiring before and after pics and see cases where folks have really applied themselves and followed the plan strictly. The ones I really like seeing are the ones where the surgeries were 4+ years ago and the sleeve or bypass patients have not only maintained the weight loss....but thrived !!!!!

Welcome and I hope you don't feel alone in this any longer.

Congrats again on quitting smoking. I know from experience what that's like and am glad that urge is gone from life.

Congrats on your journey!! I've seen many replies from you and I respect how you encourage so many people!!

      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.
