I'm 5 weeks post op and Feeling great so far! I'm down 22 lbs since surgery and total 39lbs since the start of my pre op diet. I went from 232 to currently 193! I'm learning which foods i can eat and thing i can no longer tolerate or no longer like. I drink mostly Water and milk i haven't found any drinks that i really like. All the sugar free drinks don't sit well since surgery. How are you other April sleevers doing?

Late April here, exactly 3 weeks today. Down 23 pounds since surgery - down 97 from my highest. Not feeling that great, having some nausea and heartburn issues, along with some fatigue. All expected this early out but hoping for some energy soon!

I’m 5 weeks post op too. I feel pretty good except I get a little fatigued faster than before surgery.
I’m 20lbs down since surgery. 32lbs since my pre-op diet. Started at 192 and currently 160.
I do get scared that I’m stretching out my pouch. It seems I always eat until I have discomfort in my stomach. Trying to learn to eat slower

Just over 3 weeks here. Sadly, only 10lbs down. I guess I’m one of the slow losers :(

Still learning to drink more Water. I can’t stomach crystal light anymore so I’m just drinking water plain.

Most foods sit well with me, thankfully. Still have lots more to try but I’m in no rush to push it. Still happy with my food selection for now.

Had my surgery 4/25/18 (a little over 3 weeks ago). I've been doing good. Nothing I've eaten has given me a bad reaction yet. Still having trouble getting in all my Protein and Water in, though. It's tough and imagine it's going to be much more difficult when I go back to work. 😕

      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.
