I'ts surreal. i think on some level i never thought i would get this far. Not that i expected to fail at the diet, on not get approved, but I'm one of those expect the worse type people. Needless to say its been an interesting ride. Sleeved 6/1, and amazingly feeling like super man (with meds of course). I left the hospital the next day, i could not sleep or get comfortable and wanted to be in my own space. Good decision thus far, im hiding from the scale so i will be surprised when i go get my staples out on 6/10 (hoping for onderland). so nothing to report just a happy sleever.

My surgery is the 15th and I'm on my pre op two week diet and it's just giving me really bad headaches . I've always had headaches because of my sleep apnea but non like this. It's day five and it's just terrible and I had like 4 unsalted peanuts even thought I'm not suppose to but I felt like my head was hurting because I needed food or something . I wish I could take excedrin .. How is eating during stage 2 for the hospital ?

My sleeve was on 6/1 also -- feeling good also. Trying to get all the Protein in is difficult -- but physically the recovery is much easier than I thought. Where do you have staples? I have no real hunger either -- very strange feeling......

Right but what I found is as long as I don't get bored I'm fine so far I've had popsicles flavored Water Powerade Zero clear Soup from the Korean store beef stew made with real broth broth only of course and today my mom made homemade chicken Soup so the broth from that was flavorful and amazing so I don't really feel like I'm missing anything yet. I am looking forward to my full liquids starting on Friday mostly for the cream of wheat and runny oatmeal

      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.
