I'm new to this forum and find it to be very helpful. I was sleeved on 11/18/09. The surgery went VERY WELL and I am so pleased. I hardly had any pain by Thursday, just a bit of discomfort in the chest and nausea. I was released from the hospital on Friday and feeling GOOD. By Saturday, I begin felling like myself again - I quess the drugs in my system were wearing off. I love the feeling of normalcy. I've been on Clear liquids since my VSG, I have been walking - as ordered by the Dr. Yet, I must admit, during that nausea phase while in the hospital all I could tell myself was - I could have been home not dealing with this and losing the weight on my on- because I did not like dealing with the nausea. Anyway, I got over it. I'm happy I made the decision to have the sleeve. That being said, I hope everyone meets their goal. The jouney isn't over yet, its just begone.

Oh yeh, I was so glad about feeling myself again, I forgot I was on a liquid diet and had a hand full of Pistashios - Its crazy how the mind works - I didnt' throw up but my tummy swirled around a bit so I felt it wasn't ready for the roasted and salted flavor of the nuts so, I stached the pistachios in the kitchen cabinet for possibly a month from now. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
