As folks are heading back to work, how are you doing on energy and focus? I am working from home for today, and then heading to the office tomorrow, and I'm struggling with having enough energy and focus to get through work. Taking more time off isn't really an option, and I have a job the requires a lot of focus. How are the rest of you getting through the day?

I'm working from home as well, which is a good thing, b/c I'm still fatigued and it's nice to be able to lie down every now and then. I don't head back to the office until Tuesday, so good luck to you tomorrow! Maybe a tumbler of iced Water infused with some flavoring to sip on throughout the day? Thinking lots of ice, to keep you a little cold and keep you awake?

Friday at work was rough! I made the mistake of wearing boots with a slight heel, not being strict with myself on drinking, and forgetting how large the campus is. Today I’m on the couch and resting. I am going to need to plan better and be more disciplined heading forward.

A few times today actually. Only happened a couple times since surgery like the first week or 2 but happened multiple times today while out and about with the family.

I’m doing well. Started a general diet on Sunday, January 26 (my birthday). I went out for my birthday with my husband for lunch and ordered a grilled chicken avocado . Ate half of the grilled chicken (about 1 1/2 oz) and avocado without bread and 3 small chunks of fresh fruit. It seemed to sit heavy with me the rest of the day and I did not eat again, but did a Protein Shake for my birthday dinner. I had made a slow cooker pork roast for dinner, but couldn’t eat it.

I tried to eat a bit of reheated pork roast for dinner tonight but after about 4 tiny bites and 2 bites of roasted carrots, up it came. It’s probably too soon. I’ve done chicken, fish and eggs without a problem.

I had my sleeve on Dec 18th,2019. I have lost 27 pounds and over a month out. I’m still adjusting to the whole new mindset and eating ways. I’m excited about this journey. I still have two shakes a day and now that I’m to soft foods I’ve been sticking primarily to Protein. I have even got meat sticks and cheese I eat on. That’s pretty much all I do for now and try to get my Water in as much as possible.

      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.
