I was sleeved on Sept 7 I had the boot things but no drop for meds or no drains I had one cut which was in side of my belly button and It doesn't even hurt anymore:) slept on my tummy last night without any discomfort. I know everyone is different and different surgeons use different methods so everyones story and experiences may not apply to you unless your using the same Dr.

Good point, I guess my pics don't apply to everyone.

Glad you're recovering so well :thumbup1:

New pic @ 5 days post op. The bruising has surfaced, but the drain hole looks a lot less gross than I expected :thumbup1:

Wow you did bruise a bit but those are healing nicely. I was allergic to every type of tape and band aid I tried so I had big red itchy areas of skin around mine. Stopped wearing bandages two weeks ago and finally fading.

hows ure post op diet going Twostep?

Hey Deets,

Not too bad. I was cleared for puree from day 2, so I've not had the liquid diet some of you guys have been talking about. I've been keeping it runny though, so creamed Soups, yoghurt, warmed up baby food with some stock added to make it more runny, mushed up weetabix with plenty of milk, that kinda thing.

:scared0:

Hi TwoStepsBack,

I'm happy to hear you are well.

I was sleeved the same day as you with Dr.Aceves.

Funny how we have different Drs. but I noticed on your pics that we have the same exact bruise. I also have a bruise the same size to the right and a little below my belly button where there is no incision.

That's funny. Wonder what that's from? Just curious.

      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.
