I was VERY nauseated after surgry- it was horrible!!!!! I was on a drip for it as well as under the tounge medication, I did stay a second night because of it- Amazing, but once I was home I felt fine. No drain, no cath, only 6 incisions in which all but one is now healed and almost undetectable. Iv lost 15 pounds so far- I feel great! Dr. Davidson is great, love his staff.

Thanks, everyone! Had a little set back today mentally. my husband and I eat out almost every evening. Am worried that I am going to have difficulty with this after surgery. However, doesn't bother me to take what I need with me to a restaurant to substitute or supplement. Did it with Weight Watchers and lost 50 lbs, of course gained 35 back, Thus, the decision to sleeve.

I admit there were a few times when it was hard. I wanted to eat more but could only get a few bits in. However, loosing weight so quickly and seeing the changes in my body definitely balanced it out. Mental eating can be killer!

      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.
