Hello there! I’m a 36 year old mom of 3. I have always been on the high end of a healthy BMI but after the birth of my first child my weight just kept creeping up. I am 5’8 and at my wedding I was 168lbs now 7 years later I was staring at 270lbs. I decided enough was enough and I contacted a bariatric clinic. Everything moved very quickly (self pay) and a month later I was sleeved.
I am only a week post op, so looking for advice and support. :)

welcome to the forum @Shanto. You have just spent your money wisely !!! This is the best tool you could have. as long as you follow your surgeon and nutritionalist instructions to a T you will do great. I don't know if you have a ongoing nutritionalist or not since you are self pay just stay on this forum ask any questions ,read other people questions and responses . drinking Water, water,water is the most important thing you do right now and of course walk a lot to get rid of the gas . stick with us and you will do just fine. Again Welcome and feel free to message people and ask questions.... just remember everyone's journey is different and do not judge your progress by anyone else's.....

Thank you!! Right now I have been experiencing diarrhea for the last day or so. I’ve been following the post op diet so I’m not sure what’s causing it.

      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.
