@cokegirl did you weigh yourself when you got out of the hospital? I had gained 9 lbs from IV fluids and swelling... I eventually lost that and I'm also down 19 lbs from my surgery date (12/9/16). Have you had a follow up with your Surgeon and Dietician?

I go for my 2 week checkup on Jan. 4th....I feel like I'm still a little swollen so, I'm hoping I'm just holding on to the Fluid I'm drinking for Protein.< /p>

I lost almost 10 before surgery on the pre op diet they had me on.

I lost 19lbs on my pre-op diet and another 20lbs since surgery on the 19th and have been ecstatic. This morning I gained 2lbs so I think it's time to start weighing myself a lot less. I think I'm becoming obsessed. Everyone on these forums is so supportive (with a few exceptions) and I am very grateful for all the advice. Thank you all.

Need help! I want to take a gasx chewable, but I am afraid of a reaction. Anyone have any advice?

I'm on day 8 post op.

I have used the GasX strips that melt on your tongue. Maybe give those a try.

I had my sleeve done on December 28th. I would love to be a part of the group. I'm still trying to figure out this app. Can I get an invite?

      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.
