Good morning.

The sleeved side so far has went very well, although I can't wait to stop Protein Shakes.

My only issues are slight pain from incisions, a little dizzy, and forgetting to sip slowly. I have tons of belching/farting, loud intestinal noises, some disgusting foamies, and barium swallow diarrhea. I am not hungry, and must work hard to get Protein and fluid goals - not there yet. Looking forward to full liquids next week and so on.

The surgery doesn't seem real at times, not complaining about that lol.

Hi Joann - thanks for asking!!

Not bad other than some Constipation today. I don't meet Protein goals yet but nearly make liquid goals. Lost 8lbs since surgery on Oct 24. I did not nap yesterday YAY but woke up at 4am today with a foot cramp!!!

How are you?

Ugh shakes are so sweet, I cannot tolerate the caramel premier any more. I prefer to do ready-made Isopure and dilute it with half a glass of crystal light lemonade.

Only thing is all the whey isolate Protein is constipating to me... I can tolerate pureed tuna and just today canned chicken breast w a spoon of mayo. So progress is coming.

      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.
