Take Dry Mouth Spray to the hospital! You will be miserable if you don't! They sell Biotene and a CVS store brand ...both are fine

I had my sleeve done on February 17. Feeling great, but tired.

I started the process with the initial meeting with the surgeon on Jan. 4th. Started pre-op diet (limited portions, mostly protein) that day at 457 pounds (yikes!). Down about 60 by the surgery. Now, almost two weeks post op, down to 375, though I seem to be stalled for a couple of days now. Hopeful!!!

Wow, you’re doing great! Don’t focus too much on a stall since you’ve lost so well in a short period, your body needs some adjusting time.

Saw your other post and it sounds like you are doing great! Fairlife has been my go-to also. I tried doing a Premier Protein shake and it was sooo hard to get down. My tiny tummy seems to like the Fairlife though.

Gastric sleeve scheduled a week from now, on the 25th. I'm in Sweden but originally from Canada so joining here because it's an English speaking forum. Good luck to everyone who is getting their operation done or who has just recently done it this month!

How are you doing?

Had my surgery on the 23rd. Everything went well. First 24 hours were a bit rough, but now I'm doing okay. Walking 2-3km everyday since Thursday, getting most of my Water and Protein in. Still sleeping in a recliner, but hoping in the next couple days to move back to my bed. On strained thin liquid diet for 10 days, then smoothie consistency liquids for 10 more days, then purees for the next 10. Hate every Protein Shake I've tried, so I've been putting unflavored protein in my Soups, broths, yogurts and that's been okay. Think I really hit ketosis today because my breath is awful and the taste in my mouth is so, so bad even right after brushing my teeth. Oh, weighed myself this morning for the first time and I'm down 13.8lbs from surgery--YAY!

I had my sleeve in 2/28. I did well for the first month with no complications. This past Sunday I started having horrible pains in my abdomen to where I couldn’t stand up straight, very slow when walking, unable to turn on my side to sleep, and just unable to do normal things as usual. When I called into my doctor they said it could be muscle spasms. Has anyone else had this happen?

      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.
