Hey all. I'm 14 days pay vertical sleeve today. I have 1 more week on my liquid diet before i get to move on to soft foods. I'm hungry but almost there. This is one of the most difficult things i've ever done but I'm hopeful and happy. My pain is virtually gone now except if I bend or twist wrong. Any tips for surviving these lazy few days on liquids?

Don't focus on the time, it'll only make it seem longer!
Just focus on doing what you need to, then before you know it, you'll be progressing to "real" foods.

When in doubt or when you feel like you are struggling. Just remember all the reasons why you wanted the surgery and remember to stay strong.

So true. I just have to keep my eyes on the road ahead and remember my goal. Ugh is it difficult though. They literally have cake at my work like EVERY DAY. I'm not even exaggerating. I think they have connections with a party catering company or something with the amount of cake people buy there. I don't even understand how they can afford to buy cake every week, lol. So, today at our meeting, CAKE AGAIN. Thankfully I wasn't alone in not partaking because there was a vegan in the meeting as well but man. One lady actually brought a toaster oven and baked Cookies in the building one time. I'm like. T.T It will be worth it though and nothing worth doing was ever easy. One of my co-workers was very sweet in sympathizing with me and said they would bring me sugar free Jello, lol.

      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.
