I hear you. Congrats on day 2! I am on day 4 and I 100% understand. Everyone around me is talking either about what to eat next or how good something was. It's all good you got this!

Hello, my name is Sherie and I'm from Texas. I just got started last month for bariatric surgery. I still have to do the TNE, and see my dietician and psychiatric for an eval. I haven't got a surgery date yet. But hoping for the end of the month or beginning of February. I also have an appointment to see my cardiologist because they found something in my ultrasound. Hopefully it's nothing and I can get approved for the surgery. Getting excited. Can't wait.

Hi all! This is my first post in here. My sleeve date is Jan 18 as well. Just ending my first day of pre op diet and I can’t believe I made it. I’m terrified of the next 13 days.

I’m scheduled for January 13th in Texas. On the 2 Protein Shakes and one light meal per day. 9 days until surgery. I would be so frustrated if it gets canceled. Sorry to those that were cancelled…. I keep thinking I will be rescheduled every time I watch the news.

On Jan 3rd I had my sleeve and so happy that everything was good. Less pain than I thought but take into account that every person is different. Now, already at home, starting my first week diet post op.

Good luck everyone!

No, its just about how my stomach is going to feel afterwards. Im worried about the pain and what if I don't eat enough and become dehydrated. I'm just super overthinking it all.

      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.
