hi fellow sleevers

today i'm officially one week post-op. i didn't really have any problems. no gas pains, no drain causing probs. prob with sleeping, but i think thats common.

one problem i had (and i was expecting this) i have teeny teeny little veins.Special IV team was called, and after many attempts they still couldn't get the IV in. I have many battle scars to prove it. They finally succeeded. ouch ouch ouch

Other than that, I'm still kindof weak-but walking around (not as much as i should), drinking my Protein shake, so far only 2 a day - getting most of my Water in though, what am i missing?.

Hubby took 2 weeks off to help me (what a guy!!)

i'm really tired, my bed is calling me for a nap. zzzzzkathy

re-read this has not been the best post, i reallam tired.................

Hello all. I had my surgery on 12/12 and I just went in for my check up with the doc. He says everything is great and that I have lost 20 lbs since I went in to see him before the surgery.

I had a bit of trouble with the pain meds in the hospital. Made me really sick the first night. Once they straightened that out I was okay. Just ready to come home and take a loooooong shower (which I did).

The first week of liquids only drove me crazy. I got to the point that everything made me want to barf. Now that I have added some actual food I feel 100% better.

I'm trying to remember to drink my water!!!!! Hopefully the lbs. will come off in due time. I'm trying not to become obsessed with the scale, so I don't weight everyday.

      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.
