Marrisas*sleeve I'm getting sleeved in nov. 22. I am on my 5th day of liquid diet and am also struggling. I just finish crying because I am so miserable! Just thought I would reach out to you so you wouldn't think you were alone!

I had a head ache for the first 4 days but now that's gone. I still feel dizzy and no energy.. I am very moody too. I refuse to cheat but man it is not easy. I licked a pickle the other day just for the flavor! I have spent the weekend at two high school sporting events for my kids and am going to an NFL game tomorrow...surrounded by food I can't have! It's tourture!

This forum has been very helpful though, thank you to all who post.

Are you taking the bariatric Multivitamins? They really pick you up when your struggling. I got the chewable ones and pretend I am eating fruit tingle lollies. My imagination is getting a lot of use at the moment.

That's a great suggestion! I also chopped up ice in the blender and put crystal light drops over it and pretended it was a snowball! Today I feel better.

Hey y'all I was sleeved on 25th of October so 3 wks out tomorrow..Was pleasantly surprised at how good I felt after surgery..I was fortunate enough not to have any gas, or vomiting came home the day after surgery ..

I have had a few bouts of diarrhea but doing great otherwise.

I am down 26.7 pounds and not really hungry,feeling good and I drink constantly sipping Water so no problem with fluids.

Good luck with your journey and hope it goes well for you all

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
