I was sleeved on July 8th. My husband filed for divorce and it will be final this week. Just remember that you did this for you!

I was sleeved on July 8th. I am down 49 pounds which does include post-op diet.

Hang in there! It does get better each week. First two weeks were the worse for me. I was sleeved on July 8th and each week has been better.

^{Did you do the 2-week liquid diet prior to surgery? I was sleeved on July 8th also!}

This question is for the older sleevers. Is taking off 2 weeks from your employment enough time for you and your body? Are you really ready to go back after only a couple of weeks? I am not quite sure how long I should take off. Thanks for any input you can give me. I was sleeved on July 8th, so it will be a week tomorrow and I am still not sure I am getting enough liquids.< /p>

That sounds good! Never thought of tofu. About how much tofu did you use?

I am a July 8th'er also. I am doing well keeping liquids down, but I am afraid that I am not drinking enough. I am having 1/2 cup of broth and SF Jello, but still do not think I am taking in enough liquids. My doctor stressed Protein Shakes, but I have yet to find one that I can tolerate at this time. I am going to try the G2. Mornings are my toughest time. I feel the worse; not sure if it is because my stomach is empty, dehydrated, but it takes me a few hours to get myself going. Feeling pretty good otherwise.

I am getting ready to leave for the hospital and am a bit anxious. You will do great!! Just keep positive thoughts and know you are not going through this alone.

I am on July 8th also! Having a rough time on the pre-op diet also. Soooooo hungry! Have you found a good Protein Drink? I have been trying but have not found one that I can tolerate.
