Congrats in getting sleeved. I ddin't post right away but I was still learning how to use a smart phone and I didn't take my laptop with me. My doctor wanted us up and walking within 4 hours getting to our our. I walked so much that evening my Iv battery drained and I was then tethered to the plug until the next morning. As for the swallowing since we had a breathing tube sometimes our throat is swollen when they remove it for a few days afterwords. Trying varying the temperature of the liquids your are drinking. I fell in love in drinking very warm chicken broth...it was like coffee to me. I never had the pain iv but I loved the Tordal they gave me for pain meds. I never took anything more than that while I was in. Welcome to the losing side of being sleeved.

thank you. i have already lost 7 pounds since my surgery! i can see it in my face the most. i love it! i havent been under 260lbs since 2002. so almost 10 years. i havent been under 220 in 14 years and under 170 in over 17 years, so those are my mini goals till i hit the big one. everytime i hit a milestone im gonna reqard myself with stuff like a new hair style, a pedi, a mani, a massage. i cant wait till i hit the first one which will be hopefully soon. that is when im getten the new hair dew.

      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.
