I live in Texas now but am having surgery in New Orleans. They're calling me tomorrow with a reporting time! I moved this past weekend and that knocked me off my not diet diet (shakes+ normal meal) because I needed more energy so I hoping I didn't gain too much. I'm a slow loser and didn't start until the 5th so I'm hoping I didn't do too much damage.





Gotcha that can be difficult but Im sure you'll be fine by surgery date! Moving is a good calorie burn anyway [emoji6]

How are you doing surgery twin?



Surgery went well and I was home last Friday. Then on Tuesday I ended up w a high fever and was in the hospital for four days. :-( came home last night and I am just praying and monitoring my temperature so it does not get high. I do NOT want to go back to the hospital. I told the doc I regretted getting the surgery but he is so nice and a really good doc....running so many tests to try finding out what is causing the fever.



How about you?

I am about to go walk in my house bc it help keeping fever down.

I am also late to this board. I had my sleeve done on July 19th as well. Doing pretty good. I am definitely ready to start with adding some meat into my diet tomorrow. I get to have tuna with light mayo and chicken and turkey added to my diet. Keep up the great work everyone. This is a hard journey but will be well worth it in the end!

Hey surgery pals! I'm doing great. They kept me an extra day because of vomiting from anesthesia but everything has been smooth sailing since. I'm slowly introducing purees now, but haven't had any food intolerances until this point. Last I weighed I was 20lbs down, but that was 5 days ago so I'm not sure now.

I had my two week follow-up today. Down 26lbs which includes my pre-op diet. I was moved to soft foods and I am ecstatic that I get to skip pureed foods lol. All of my restrictions were removed so onward and upward! Congratulations to everyone! Just remember it will get better!

Thats awesome Im glad you're doing well. I am still struggling to get all of my water in. I was a gallon per day prior to surgery but now Im struggling to get a half gallon in since my stomach gets full so fast. I am at my plateau right now which sucks but I get it. It happens and I'll get past it.

      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.
