Recommended Posts

Hello to Everyone

My surgery was Feb. 18th and discharged the 21st. Home at 1230pm.

Today I am truly happy with the decision I've made to be a more healthier woman. I have taken control of my life.

The surgery was a success. I hardly had any pain; a lil discomfort, yes, but no pain.

I begin a new journey for the rest of my life and give thanks to God and to Dr. Taller at Pacific Bariatric, San Diego and the pre-op team, pre-surgical & surgical team and nurses on the 7th floor at Scripps Mercy Hospital. You all ROCK.

Congrats to you. I had the surgery on the same day as you and feel the same way. I'm still getting the hang of using the tool, but it seems to be going in the right direction.

Thank you. I just can't believe how good I actually feel. With the fluids I'm intaking are pretty good. Getting use to that is a real challenge. My Mom made a huge, I mean huge glass bowl of jell-o (sugar free). I have chicken broth given to me from the hospital to take home. I have plenty of ice and today I am beginning Protein.

The days to come is where I find my inner self.

Good luck to you.

Hello, we are Sleeve buddies. I also had my op on Feb 18th and came home on the 21st. The only difference is 5,000 miles, I was in England and you in America! How have you been feeling? HelenJD

      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.
