I'm out of recovery and have been in my room for 2.5 hrs. Doing good. Some soreness but no nausea or dizziness. Actually feels better to get up and walk. Ice chips never tasted so good. Might leave tomorrow since I am doing good. Oh yeah, fhey repaired a umbilical hernia that I didn't know I had. Talk to you later when I get home. Going to take a nap.....

Well you are doing soo good..Just keep walking and sipping. Right now you need to work really hard in getting you 64 ounces of Water in. When you meet your water goal start working on you protein..

agree I tried but had to abandon the thought. Here's to our March sleevers and a big howdy to the new April crew. I was sleeved on 3/1 going back to work on Tues. No problems with getting Water or Protein in. Still get real worn out without much effort. Trying to walk 20 min a day. Have lost 15 lbs since OR.

I am so happy to hear how well you all are doing. I am getting sleeved next Tuesday and can't think of anything else. I hope I do as well as you.

Take care :)

Came home last evening. Pain itself from incision is minimal but the gas bubbles are killing me. I was known as "Oh, you're the one who walked all the time" to the nurses and aids at the hosptal. Napping a lot. When I sip on Water I never realized how much air I swallow. The air bubble just sits in my epigastric area and has that upward pressure. I dry heaved a couple times at home b/c of the bubble. I had a supposity the morning after surgery and it worked in about an hour....farting and some diarrhea but nothing since then, I haven't passed anything (not like there is much to pass.) Maybe if the lower end worked more, than the air bubbles would pass down instead. I know...walk, walk, walk, and more walk. Sip sip sip... I am on a clear diet today since I came earlier than expected but then Sat I start full liquids. Good luck to all the other Marcher's.

      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.
