I am getting my sleeve this Thursday and I am so excited!! I have to say I am a bit nervous though, not exactly sure why. I only have a 1 day liquid diet the day before my surgery and as silly as it may seem I am really looking forward to it. I think it will all finally seem real once Wednesday gets here! Anyone else getting sleeved the same day?

I had my sleeve on 29 th and honestly I'm having a hard time I guess I'm just missing food and I eat more than my body wants so today I tried to really listen to my body and eating wasn't as painful but It's just harder than I expected and more emotional...

If you have emotional ties to eating you should consider counseling to help support you on this journey. That being said, I had mine 8/31 and have felt deprived at all yet, probably because I battled more pain than expected.

I don't know if you started on clear liquid or full liquids but I started on full liquids and tomato soup made with milk has been awesome when I feel hungry. I try and sip protein shakes throughout the morning and evening, drinking 1/2 a premiere shake at a time. Also smooth light yogurt is helpful, but I can eat more than I think I should (1/2 a container).

Hang in there, things will normalize for us and the weight loss and health will be worth it.
