Just checking in sleeve was Friday 8/5. The night in the hospital was horrific. I came home Saturday afternoon and my husband has been a great nurse. He goes back to work today and it will be me and our two greyhounds.

I have been adding gene pro to Soup and yogurt to get more Protein in.

Today's goal is more Water.

I'm so sorry you had such a rough night in the hospital! Sounds like things are looking up now. Did you experience a lot of pain? Hope you're feeling even better soon!

Had my surgery on the 4th. So I've been home a few days now. I dont have any excruciating pain, but I notice as the day starts to end my tummy hurts more. These few days have been trial runs. The first two days home, I kept falling asleep before I'd finish a shake. Lol. I think my gas pains are subsiding, thank the lord! But I've now started to have back pain, especially when I get out the bed. I've been pretty lucky, no adjustments have needed to be made for sleeping. In the hospital I laid on my side the whole time, the sitting up was the most uncomfortable for me.

I tell yall, the head hunger is real. Most people say they dont get it, Im here to play the offense. I see commercials or watch cooking shows and Im like dang I could eat that. Lol. Even tho I really couldn't. Every sip of a shake is a chore, every spoonful of broth is a chore. I dont in actuality want to eat anything bad, but Im craving real food something awful. I mean food I wasnt even eating prior to surgery. Daily I dream of cauliflower mash. Lol

My struggle is so very real, but at least its just one day at a time.

Good luck to you all

It's never too late, until its too late

      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.
