I’m doing good I just had sleeve on 1/11/18 I lost 15lbs my first week. My problem is getting the Water in. I’m on stage 2, I’m doing well holding food down and I try not to read negative reports. I make sure I walk everyday. I do notice I go to sleep earlier and wake up early. I pray we all stick to positive thinking and don’t beat up ourselves and just remember this is a tool for a life time and don’t have regrets it’s the best decision we have made for our lives. I just wish I would of made my sooner. Take care and have a Beautfiful day.

Btw, someone mentioned wanting savory vs the sweet Protein Shakes. I found Organic Bone Broth at Wal-Mart of all places! The chicken is delish, fat free and 7g Protein per cup! Goes down well even early on. It's under three bucks too! Score!

I just had my surgery on the 18th. So, far it's going well. I'm not losing much weight although it's only been two days. I would love to connect with other post-op January patients. I am having trouble swallowing my crushed meds because they taste so awful (bitter). Anyone have any ideas on what to mix them with to help the taste?

Sounds like you are doing good! On the pill thing, I have my surgery on the 30th but been trying to have everything I could possibly need lol but I’ve wondered about the pill thing too,,, are you where you can have Protein Drinks yet? I wondered if mixing them with a little Protein Drink would help.....??? I’m allergic the dairy (the protein) so have tried many non dairy Protein Powder but keep going back to one I’ve used the last 25 yrs.. let us know what you end up using.. good luck and glad you are doing well!

I’m actually in Spokane. I like the garden of life the best. And the Orgain is very good and they both come in different flavors I use one scoop of each to make a shake and it’s 30 g of Protein it’s delicious.

      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.
