April 4th for me. Thought this would be a little harder than it is, no complications, drinking Protein Water and Protein Shakes.< /p>

I'm April 5. Its been so much easier than I had feared. Trying to transition to soft food. That's a little hard.

I'm trying to learn how to navigate this site too. I find it a little hard to get back to the forums that I respond to.

I'm curious how we early April Sleevers progress too.

Good luck everybody.

I don't want to lose hope I don't know what I'm doing wrong I know I wasn't able to eat all my Protein because I kept throwing up

If you are still throwing up...call your Surgeon. If you are getting all of your Water and Protein in - you are experiencing the Stall. It's very common. Stay off the scale and drink Water, get protein and walk - the scale will eventually catch up.

Thanks KristenLe I will stay off the scale I'm so use to stepping on the scale it's going to be hard but I will try. It's also when my own mother says to me you do don't look any thinner to me I guest she expected to loose 50 lbs in 3 weeks, I think this is why I'm in the Suport group for the moral Suport

Hello all,I just found the site today. I had my gastric sleeve procedure done last week April 21. Also had a hernia fixed at the same time. I feel so bad for the people who have mentioned Throwing up post surgery. Hick ups and coughing are bad enough. Luckily that's the worst I have done. This Friday will be my first follow-up visit, allowing me to switch from liquid diet too soft foods.

      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.
