I'm scheduled for the gastric sleeve and I'm very excited! I just want to get to a happy healthy place. I have 18 days out of work, wondering do I need that many days? One week is paid, but the rest is unpaid.

I don't think you'll need that many, assuming you don't have a physically strenuous job. I have friends who are post-op who say a week was more than enough. One actually was sleeved in Tijuana last month and went sightseeing when she left the hospital. The only thing to keep in mind is how long it'll be before you can drive again. Some have said as long as 7-10 days after surgery.

My job is not physical at all. I'm thinking 10 days will be good. I'll check at my preop appointment.

Hello!

I just went to see Dr. Macik for the first time on Monday. I thought he seemed really nice! I cannot wait to get further along in the process.

How has your process been? Have you had your surgery? I think Dr. Macik is great.

      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.
