Hi Red Velvet Gangers!!

I am glad to heart that you made it thru!! My surgery was at 4, I was in my room by 7. Dr. said it went perfectly!!

I, thankfully, did not have nausea or vomiting. Just ALOT of gas. That gas is no joke and HURTS like hell! I walked a lot, but did not help. I was miserable yesterday. Felt like I could not breathe and was having a heart attack. Today it still hurts, but not as bad, I did some tootin' this morning and it seemed to relieve some pressure. I am not taking my Lortab, as I do not really have pain other than gas!

I feel like I am doing well. I just do not have an appetite, which I am sure is normal! I have been drinking fluids, and am having Isopure today. There is 40 grams of Protein in that bottle and I have drank half of it since 7 this am. Dr. just told me to focus on liquids for now. I will be able to handle more in a few days.

I hope you all are able to recover quickly and feel well. I really think I am going to love my sleeve!!!

Kelly ;)

Hello Red Velvet Ladies!

I am so glad everyone made it through their surgeries without any major problems. My surgery was scheduled at 8:30am and I was in my room by 12pm. The Dr. said everything looked great! I ended up staying for two nights though because of the nausea and vomiting I was experiencing. I could not get anything down the 1st night. The second day was much better so they decided they could release me. I feel a little better, but I am still hurting from the biggest incision on my left

side. I am now trying to focus on getting in my liquids, but that has been such a challenge :) I hope we all have a quick recovery. Remember no pain no gain or in this situation no pain no loss biggrin.gif

I read alot on here and see that people say their biggest incision is to the left. Mine is above and to the right of my belly button. I am sure it is fine, but why is mine different than everyone else's?

Anyone know?

Thanks,

Kelly :huh:

      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.
