I'm looking forward to wearing those cartoon (fitted) tshirts from Wal-Mart this summer. Who's excited about getting rid of their FAT summer clothes from last year???

Sleeved on Feb 1st.. Surgery went great... Doc says liver was perfect... After recovery they put me in a room ( didn't notify my family) and left me for an hour. I was in so much pain it was in my back...once I got pain medicine they had to alternate with two different kinds b/c they i went so long without meds.. They had to get it under control... Finally I was told that I was not in the hospital records so they could not give me pain medicine right away.. But the good news is I'm home...feel much better just a little sore..

It does get better every day, its slow but better. I stayed in the hospital 3 days due to vomiting so my recovery is moving very slow, just remember to keep moving

Yes, I have been drinking warm crystal light. Warm tea helped relax my stomach a lot. Also, make sure your sips are tiny

Just wanted to drop in to say hello to my fellow AA sleevers. I don't post in here to often, but only because when I try to access this site from my phone (which is how I usually post) I get a password required message. Just went through forums and tried to see the group and what do you know, it let me in! Well I'm scheduled for Feb 26 and I'm getting nervous, scared. I think most of my anxiety comes from going to Tj Mexico for my sleeve. My insurance has WLS listed as an exclusion. Well you guys keep me in prayer and congrats to all pre and post AA sleevers!

      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.
