Recommended Posts

I will be having surgery 2/21 (week from Tuesday) and I am 55. Would welcome a buddy as well!

3 more days Karen!!! I know you're excited!
It's not that bad. I took3 weeks off work though. I'm actually glad I did because I focused on establishing an eating program. I learned how to eat all over again;)

How are you doing now Connie? I hope it is going well. I also got sharp stabbing pain when I drank for the first few months. Gradually got better and is now gone completely. I am 65 had surgery at 64. Wish I had done it sooner but husband and Dr were against it. Finally took control of my life and am glad I did.


I am doing a lot better. 2 months out, lost 28lbs. Feeling good. I try to stay hydrated as much as I can.
How are you?

Hi, My name is Patty. I'm almost 53. Sleeved 12-28 and I had no issues at all. I woke up in recovery in shock that I felt no pain and I never did. I never used any pains pills. I hope the same for you. I weighed 287 and now weigh 270. It's amazing and wished I could have done this years ago.

Hi, I'm 50 from California, sleeved in December, down 57 lbs. I feel great, looking pretty good, and having fun shopping for clothes ! I mess up sometimes and my tiny tummy lets me know. It IS so worth it, one of the best things I've done for myself.

Hi I am 50 was sleeved this past Tuesday April 18th. I am having a hard time mentally today. Not that I am hungry just want to eat a chip. I am sick of liquids but know in the long run I am going to be so happy I did this.

Hi I'm 56 and just had my surgery 5 days ago. I'm having trouble getting in the Protein and my stomach rumbles all the time. I'm starving! Protein Shakes try to come back up. I've been looking for Protein Drinks and unflavored protein but can't find any. I've been to Wal Mart and costco. Can anyone tell me where I can get these drinks?

Birthday tomorrow - 62 - yikes!! Will be sleeved in October, no def date set.

Clear Protein - Isopure, but it's pricey and tart, someone said Unjury unflavored added to broth (?). Someone also mentioned a clear one at Walgreen's that is supposed to taste better than Isopure.

      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.
