Hello,

I'm Rose, I'm 21 and live in Denton Texas. I just got the sleeve gastrectomy and duodenal switch done on 12/5. The surgery was a lot more painful than I originally expected. I was supposed to stay just overnight and ended up staying in the hospital for four days! And I had to get a drain put in that wasn't removed until 12/13. Since I've been home I'm still struggling with getting in all my liquids and Protein and I'm already supposed to start the purée diet Monday. I'm really anxious but excited about my journey and everything still to come. If anyone wants to be my friend so we can help each other along I'd greatly appreciate it. Anyone else get the vsg and ds done at the same time? Anyone else in their 20's? My nurses and doctors kept commenting on how young I am.

Yeah it's been a bit rough for me, I got the stomach flu from my nieces so that hasn't been fun! I feel like my esophagus is so tight I'm not really able to get a lot of food down. I know it will get better I just need to be patient! I've lost 30 pounds since surgery though so that's good! Here are my babies...post-307681-14820192039632_thumb.jpg post-307681-14820192263002_thumb.jpg post-307681-14820192685726_thumb.jpg

      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.
