Hey everyone

I was sleeved on 3-10-16 and I still have my drain. I have to see my Dr tomorrow and see what's going on. The good news is I did the 14 day liquid diet, started on 2-25-16 and to date I have list 24 pounds. I hope we the dr can find out where I'm bleeding and get this drain out.

Good luck All!!!!!

Congratulations on your commitment! It's totally different, this whole 'dieting' thing when you know you're going in for a huge change that requires your strict adherence, and look, you did it!

How are you feeling? You have 'fresh' blood coming out of your drain? Other Vets here on the board will surely chime in. I didn't have a drain so I have no clue if this is normal. I do hope you get some answers and I'd like to know afterwards when you see your Dr. please.

I kept a thermometer and blood pressure cuff at home, I was ridiculous ... still am. :P

Hello, I haven't been on the site for awhile and wanted to post my progress.

As my last post said I still had my drain, well it was removed two days after that post. I feel great and I'm down 45 lbs so far. I'm on soft foods and I haven't had any trouble with any food so far.

I hear a lot of people talking about the three week stall and I'm happy to say I didn't have one. I'm 5 weeks out and 2 weeks of a liquid diet pre-op and loosing every week.

I'm off of 7 meds and no more shots for sugar.........

This is the best thing I ever did for me!!!!

      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.
