Take time to read as much as you can all around the board threads. Everybody's experience is different and you may or may not experience what another has. Reading the boards has helped me know what to expect or not expect..what may happen or not so you can be fully prepared. I had the sleeve so mine is going to be different.. but reading the boards will get you more information than a limited number of responses to your thread. Good Luck and welcome!

Your new tiny tummy will rule you for quite a while, but once the two of you make your peace, you'll be grateful for her restriction. I have had a rough road myself, but I would not go back to before.

Did you guys do 1 week or 2 weeks of liquids? How long before you went back to work or school?

1 day liquid before surgery and 2 weeks after. I went back to work after 1 week of licking my wounds. Walking a lot after surgery is the key to quick recovery.

      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.
