My stomach is doing that right now and all I ate was some cream of chicken Soup. Its almost like its mad at me. Im just relieved it isnt hurting or burning anymore!

Hello everyone! I am 3 days post op and I am doing great! I am having some irritating things going in though. My pouch feels like it bunches up (balls up) every now and then. Feels like a excruciating hunger pain. Will this ever end? Secondly, the incision where my stomach was removed hurts like hell. If I can get that under control I would b so much better. I want to exercise soooo bad but I know that is impossible so all I do is walk now. My taste buds reject crystal light and lemonade now. Im looking forward to my tolerance levels now. Just wanted to check in. Hope you guys are doing well!

Thats good to hear. I used to love my Protein shakes....now I dont like them for some reason they taste salty! But I gotta drink em. I dont even want water...what I want is some fruit but I think its too early.

Hi everyone im here to vent! I wanna stangle the person who invented the pre op liquid diet! Ugh! This is the end of my 4th day and I am craving a meal soooo bad. I have ben doing liquids and watermelon since tuesday and its hard! I want a salad or something small. I mean I dont wanna pig out! I just cant wait until surgery day at least then mt stomach will have less hunger pains because It will be smaller. Just wondering is anyone else going through/havd been through this issue and did u eat a meal? If so what was rhe surgery outcome?

Cool . You can do it! Good luck with your surgery!

Wow two weeks. I couldn't have done that with out cheating at least once. But I guess hebgave it for a reason. Good luck with it . I pray you have strength.

Me too. Im actually hanging in there on day 5 with 2 more days to go! June 4th I ready!

Ok so my doctor gave me from my surgery date june 4 to july 8 off for my surgery recovery. Thats alot of time. I also think he is gonna repair my hernia also. What am I gonna do with all of that time?! What dis you guys do!?!

Im kinda looking forward to 2 weeks but 4 to 6 I dont know.

So does the Vitamins not help with the energy? Like b12?

Thank you!

Ok thanks guys great imput. You all pretty much answered my question. I work in aviation security with people moving around alot so that explain the long time off.

Hi I am being sleeved on 6/4/13 and I dont know what to buy if anything. Havent went over specifics with my surgeon yet so im lost. Can someone pleasd give advice on what you bought before meaning vitamins, drinks or anything specific?

Hi. Im 31 no children and my highest weight was 282 at 5'3 1/2 I have endometriosis and pcos and had high chlesterol. My doctor informed me that weight loss was my only hope for having children and symptoms of pcos and endometriosis to improve. Recently I lost 35 lbs on my own and I have already noticed a difference. My cramps are less severe and my cycle now flows on its own without hormone pills. My chlesterol is lowered. I am definately having my surgery on june 4th and I cant wait. I hope this helps you. Do your research first and know the facts for yourself! Good luck and keep us updated!

Thanks you! That makes sense. I usually dont swallow too much at a time anyway. I feel like I will get everything I need from the surgeons before my surgery. If not imma ask lits of questions. Its always nice to hear opinions from others as well.

Thank you all so much. Ths really helps. I am looking forward to my nutrition class may 13th and my visit with my surgeon. I didnt know that I couldnt swallow anything big ever again. Thats interesting to know. I really appreciate the feedback.

Hello everyone! Ok sooo im sitting in pins and needles waiting on my approval from bcbs federal. Paperwork wad submitted on march 29th and today is april 4th and im still waiting. I have heard some people say it takes 2-3 days. I may be a little impatient but it seems luke my approval is taking forever! Can anyone tell me if they have bcbs federal how long an approval actually takes? Im worried that may deny me. I dont know why im worried but I am! Thanks

I hope so too. Keep calling them because if u wait it will def take longer. Im still waoting on a date. Im having my surgery at emory midtown atl and they have a few more requirements before they schedule me. I will be happy when its done.

Good luck! It literally took them two weeks to approve me! But im glad it was approved.
