How exciting for all of you! I had my surgery 12/30/16 and my life has changed for the better in so many amazing ways. I was right where you all are a year ago so I just wanted to pop in and offer my support and congrats.

Good luck to everyone this month! I was sleeved Nov. 29th, but I feel like I belong with you Decembers, if that is okay!

I'm 6 days post-op. Threw up all meds and everything but Water until day 4. Now I easily tolerate Protein Shakes and meds: I use Isopure zero carb with plain water. I hate Protein water and Jello so far, and beginning to hate popcicles!

I still can't tell when/if I'm hungry, full, have acid reflux, or what is going on in this belly of mine! Also, of all 4 incisions, the one near my belly button is the worst for pain!!

My head craves food so bad, right now i want a slice of cheese and bread! These pass and change all day, but are obviously easy to ignore since my stomach feels like it was hit by a car.

That's me so far in a nutshell! I look forward to meeting you all, and hearing about your progress as well!!♥️MM

      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.
