Good Morning to all! I was sleeved on Aug. 25th. Everything went well. They removed a hiatial hernia also. In recovery one of the nurses pissed me off, telling me I can groan or moan there were other people in there too. I hadnt been so out of it I might have done something to here. I h=kept telling her I felt sick and she took forever to do anything about it so i pucked. So he had to clean my puke up and chage my gown. I was a sleepyhead that whole day practiaclly. I walked later that evening. Friday and Saturday was better. Had the test to make sure there wasnt a leak or snything and all was fine. They took the drain out on Saturday. It felt like they were pulling my insides out. Now I have gauze on that site. Those of you that had drains removed in the hospital, once home when did you take the gauze/bandage off tthe site? I am having issues gettin gin my fluids but I am working on. I know how important it is to stay hydrated. I am so thankful everything went well. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. WOW ! I am finally sleeved.

      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.
