So happy for you: Great job!


I just got sleeved on February 2nd. So I'm still in early early stages of all of this. Today I'm having a really bad day feeling very discouraged. It's not that I'm not losing weight because I am. Of course I'm happy about that but Its very hard for me to keep down liquids or at least get them down. So that makes me very tired and weak. I have a 14 year old a football player and he is always hungry so I'm always having to make sure he has something to eat. That makes it very difficult to be in good spirits cuz I am so hungry. I know I'm going to get through this and I'm going to get through this; and down to my desired weight. I have already lost over 15 lbs.. It will be two weeks on Thursday... I am just so hungry and weak...

Any advance on getting in more fluids.. Since i can't stomach the shakes? !

      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.
