Well...I did it! Yesterday morning at 9:30am I layed on the surgery table.

I was told day 2 is the 'buyer's remorse" day. So far so good. I haven't experenced too much pain, but I can feel the emptiness of my stomach. I don't feel hungry, just empty...and drugged LOLlooking forward to a shower!

Now I'm falling asleep as I write and my eyes are very blurry!

Welcome to the losers bench. The buyers remorse came to be day 4. Now I'd never want the old stomach back! I am loving my sleeve, and you will to. A quick and painfree recovery to you.

The wonderful staff here at St. Mary's in Grand Rapids, MI have been taking great care of me! Started 1 oz of Unjury every hour. Seems to be causing trapped gas, which isn't fun, but worth it...plus they're getting some meds..

Fantastic! I've not had any buyer's remorse so far myself!

Alright folks...this is day 4 post op. I'm struggling. More so on day 3 (felt like I had something caught in my esophogus and the anti esophogial spasm pills/pain pills/anti nausea pills did NOT work, trapped gas)...

Today I feel so hungry. Which is pretty depressing. I realize that once I move from liquids to more solid foods I will probably experience that "forgetting to eat" sensation; as for now and the next 10 days, what can I do? Getting the Water down is proving to be difficult, as well as the Protein drinks/soup. And since I can't get much Water down, my hands and feet are slightly swollen. So I walk as much as I can.

Is there anything I can do to STOP the hunger without actually eating? I definitely do NOT want to risk a leak by attempting to eat something solid.

Any advice or words of encouragement are GREATLY appreciated....tell me this passes! :)

      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.
