Just wanted to say that I had my surgery on Thursday and got home today. Besides having 7 new holes in my stomach, everything went well. i also got to catch up on my sleep that I had been missing. Now the fun begins, as I am off solids until June 10. I can do it. :)bounce.gifpeace.gif

Congrats girls! In my opinion, you're on the easy side now especially once you're back to solids. Just remember to baby yourself as your body adjusts and get lots of rest. Yay! :)

Welcome to the Losers Bench! And I'm glad you are feeling well. I had surgery Tuesday and overall I feel good too. There are a lot of us this week. It will be fun to have so many of us who were sleeved at the same time.

One tip: I used a timer to get my fluids in the first couple of days at home. One ounce every 15 minutes. The nutritionist sent me home with some one ounce cups, but in case you don't have those, 2/3 of a shot glass is one ounce. I poured 8 ounces in a liquid measuring cup with spout and then refilled my one-ounce cup. That way you can lay around a bit and still get your fluids.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Thanks everyone!! Besides pain from one of the incisions and overall muscle pain, life is good. i woke up this am with NO gas pain. i guess day 5 really is the turn around day. Good thing because I have work errands to run, fun fun.

Anyway, Ruby, yeps, I'm on broths, jellos, Water, juice, etc. They said full liquids, so every now and then I break down and do a thinned downed cream Soup. I need to change the flavors. I only have to do that until next Monday before I go to softies.

I am anxious because I go in on Friday to see the nut and see how it is all going. If I still have pain on this one side, I will see what she can do. I hope everyone else who was sleeved the same week is having fun and recuperating well. biggrin.gif

That's awesome! Keep us posted.. what are you eating now? broth, Jello?

Congrats on your cool new sleeve!:D

      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.
