It gets easier kndi. Just stay away from others eating and weekends are a little tough. I think the first 4 days were the hardest but then I had no oroblems

Thank you for the encouragement. I drank my dinner so I think I will play it safe and go to bed with my book. One day down...six more to go.

After 4 days it gets easier and then just stay clear of restaurants' date=' drive thrus, and just people eating. I could have a few sugar free hard candies and that helped me. I had 3 due to it would make you gassy lol[/quote']

Any kind of candy sounds good right now ;)

Try a few sugar free. It helped me over the humps. I think during my 14 day liquid diet I had maybe a total of 10 pieces?

The sugar free butterscotch were wonderful

I got the pre-op diet blues.

I just don't know which Protein flavor to choose.

Everyone around me's eating what they please.

Pizza' date=' fried rice, macaroni and cheese.< /p>

I'm just trying to choke yet another shake down.

Ok look, now they're passing candy around.

I'm about to eat my own shoe.

I totally understand that about the food being everywhere! I don't know if you have kaiser permanente but they have a good chocolate Optifast Meal Replacement shake! If not I like the chocolate muscle milk. I know how you feel about choking 1 more shake down. And I wish I could tell you it gets better right away, I am 5 days post op and the smell of food is killing me! But even if I wanted to I couldn't because my sleeve couldn't tolerate it! Just hang in there I know it's hard but I also know that it will be worth all we are going through! To be skinny & healthy, That will be our prize! And what will those people have that we're passing around all that food, moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips! :) they will be trying yet another diet and failing while you are getting skinnier by the moment! Hang in there ok, we both can get through this! Hope this helped.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
