Things are well. My blood sugars have been in the normal range for the past 3 days. That is super exciting for me.

I just started reducing my caffeine today. I bought some coffee that is supposed to have half the normal levels. I am trying to step down so I can avoid the bad headaches. I am going to switch to full Decaf in a couple days.

This isn't easy for me because I love bold full flavored coffee. I can do this though. I know as soon as I am allowed I will drink the good stuff again.

I was sleeved on Thursday, 5/4. I came home the next day. I was nervous going in, but it feels really good on the other side. I woke up from the surgery in some discomfort, but once that was managed, it has been pretty smooth sailing. No hunger, no cravings. I cannot even express how freeing that is.

Good luck May sleevers! Can't wait to read about your progress!

I was just telling my husband how amazing it was. I'm getting like 500-600 calories and I'm not hungry. Before surgery I was like "those people are f*cking crazy if they think I can survive 500 calories a day!" They really weren't kidding about hunger disappearing. I am hit now and then with head hunger though. Thought I'd start crying when I could smell my husband cooking chicken parm for the family. I just had to relax and let it sink in that even if I COULD eat it, I probably wouldn't be able to since my tummy doesn't like anything.

So true!!! I was in costco yesterday and they were baking brownies. They smelled delicious. I could have smelled them all day. But I feel so full all the time - if someone would have handed one to me, I would have dropped it and run! That is a huge change for sure.

      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.
