I was really bummed when got on scale at doc and had only lost 6 pounds. Need to lose10 for surgery. My bmi is 35 so they said I would be okay. My friend had to remind me that I ate like a pig for a week and a half before I started the fast. So I have actually lost 11 pounds. Anyone else have this happen?

My sx was Monday. I had bad nerves, but glad to be on the other side. I'm just really sore, but sipping fluids really well.

I got my sleeve on 14th. All went well. 1 night stay in hospital. Two things have concerned me and I was wondering if anyone else had these side effects...1. When I drink anything it causes me to have a gurgling sound come up. It is really loud and last night I was talking on the phone and my friend could hear my gurgle on the other end. It sounds like I have bubbles. I also have a huge bruise at one of the sights. It's the size of an avacado.

Day 9 post op for me. I am having trouble getting enough food and Protein in. Working hard at it but nothing tastes very good! The best thing I have had so far is I mix the injury Protein Soup with cream of chicken and it is really good. Going to try it with Tomato Soup in a few minutes and see if that is any better. How is everyone else doing that was sleeved on the 14th or around there?

      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.
