I don't have anyone to really talk to about my sleeve surgery. I really need support and friends. I would really really appriciate any new friends and support. I don't have much luck with my doctors office as they are really busy and communication Is My Great. I was in a car accident and had frontal lobe injury, so maybe it's just me.

We got sleeved on the same day! Hello sleeve brother or sister!

liquids are the most important thing at this stage. Sorry to hear you are having problems.

Try warm tea or broth. Sometimes warm liquids move easier.

Protein Shakes are important because you're not able to eat much and you want to shoot for 60g of Protein. Premier shakes have 30g a serving. If you can't tolerate shakes try adding flavorless Protein Powder to the foods you are able to eat (works good with broth, for instance).

You ought to be able to drink a whole shake (mine are 11 ounces). Treat shakes like a liquid (and they can count as part of your 40-64 ounces).

I was sleeved on 7/12. They told me to just keep the incisions clean, but not to keep them covered with bandages after today (4 days post op).

Hi Northstar,

Hope you are having a great day so far. I would be more than happy to be one of your online buddies. There are some of the best folks anywhere on this site.

I don't have an actual surgery date yet but it should be in November sometime. I look forward to reading more of your story.

Good luck as you continue on your journey!

      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.
