You all, I made it!!! I had my sleeve gastrectomy on August 1st and I'm feeling great!!! Spent the 1st, 2nd, and part of 3rd recovering in the hospital and am now at home. Using timers and measuring cups/scales to get all my Protein, Water, and walking in. I am so happy I am finally on this side of surgery! I blogged about my experience at www.nourishingheather.com if you want more info.

@ ZeroCool how is the liquid diet going for you? I’m 9 days in with 5 days to go. Feeling pretty good. I think my body forgot about the hunger if that’s possible.

@ZeroCool I think I know how you feel. I get to eat green veggies though. I was told as many as I want but they send me to the bathroom😆. You can do it though. We will get there soon.

I’ve noticed people doing. liquid pre op diet. I’m able to eat some solids. I started my pre op diet today and it wasn’t to bad. Have a headache now but I’m sure that will go away with time.

My surgery date is 8/13 and this preop diet is brutal! I am allowed to eat 4 oz Protein with green veggies once a day so I shouldn’t be complaining. Can anyone share helpful tips for walking through the kitchen or cooking food for my family knowing I cat eat it!? [emoji23]
My surgery is the 13th as well!! I can't give any tips, I think my mind has settled on not eating what I want anymore...lol. what time do you go in on Monday? We gonna keep in touch!!!

      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.
