I will be 3 weeks out Friday and I'm experiencing the same thing. Does yours itch? Mine does on and off all day! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes they said you can. I will say I haven't been able to take mine since surgery though. I get serious acid reflux and usually get sick. Anyone else have this issue? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had surgery 11/18/16. Before my pre op diet I started at 338.6. Started pre op diet at 331.9 and day of surgery I weighed 302.4. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks post op. This morning I weighed 288.4! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was also sleeved on the 18th and I can't move to puréed until the 9th. They have a very strict diet. I can't wait to be able to have something other than Soup, Jello, and Protein shakes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Everyday for the past 3 weeks. I feel like I have more energy but then I lost it quick when I start doing stuff. I won't lie I have enjoyed the naps everyday! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That is what I was thinking. I definitely look at food a little differently and I still have the bad cravings but I ultimately think about how bad it is and it stops me from those thoughts. I figured if I feel like I absolutely have to have something it needs to be nutritional and low carb. I might have to reward myself with something! Maybe a pedicure! Thank you for your kind words!

I was put on a 3 week diet and I am on day 11 and this has been the hardest thing mentally I have ever experienced. I have lost 17 pounds so far! I have had some weak moments though. I was starving and I just couldn't drink another Protein drink so I ate some broccoli. I know I'm halfway there but another week and a half seems so long. I never really realized the true relationship I had with food until now. I know that I will be able to eat again but it doesn't feel like it at the moment. Some positives have come from it though. I feel like I have more energy. I don't have that bloated feeling. I also think mentally it has helped even though it has been a struggle. I am grateful for the opportunity to do this and I know I can it's just sometimes we need to let it out to people who actually understand what we are going through.

I have wondered this myself. We just had our 1 year anniversary and my husband has been sooo amazing while I've been on the liquid diet. He is supposed to be having it done at the beginning of next year. What the experience like when both of you have it? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm actually starting to like the bariatric shakes! I'm glad the other shakes are better for you. Sent from my VS985 4G using the BariatricPal App I really didn't mind the taste! And I liked that I could add powdered Peanut Butter and stuff to it to change the flavor up. It just didn't agree with me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I was in the same boat with those. They didn't taste bad but my problem was the smell of the Protein Powder. It made me not want to drink them. I like the fact Premier Protein is already mixed so I don't have that issue. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I feel the same way. I'm on my 6th day of 21 and I am really struggling with it. Good luck with yours! Bed time is my favorite part of the day now! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I feel ya!! All this will soon be over. Take this one stage at a time. At this pount i was scared of how my life would be post sleeve. I thought it would be like this for lifetime and i didn't think I could make such a big lifestyle change. I remember calling my cousin who has had the sleeve to ask her if the hunger would ever end. She assured me to keep pushing forward. The hunger will end. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App Thanks for the encouraging words. It has really helped me being on here and seeing I'm not alone in this. I know I'm the end it will be worth it. I am looking forward to the hunger going away!
