well done with the 12 pounds!!!

I had the Lap Band put in so slightly different but I made a friend in hospital someone who had the sleeve and it has been great as we both went in same day and able to spend the few days after walking the halls together and we text nearly daily with updates of new information we find out about ourselves.

There will be days where you wake up and feel great - and no issues or anything and there will be some days where the body is not feeling it and to which you may feel you're going backwards. being 3 weeks out, definitely listening to my body has been the biggest lesson! and my sleeve friend has found the same too. Both finding some days we aren't hungry some days we are - She has found she can tolerate Pasta some times and some times she can't.

Take it as a positive that you're feeling normal and doing everything right by what has been advised :) people are more likely to post issues than complements too don't forget :D

Yes, I've felt great since surgery. I'm not quite 2 months out and I'm down nearly 70lbs. I think you just had an easy recovery and that is great. I hope it continues for you, me, and everybody else. So far only heavy, dry meats have given me any discomfort and that was very mild. Just make sure to not introduce too many things at once. That way, if something doesn't sit well with you, it will be easier to pinpoint the problem food. Congrats so far.

      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.
