I started a 'secret' May 2012 Sleevers group on Facebook, if anyone wants to join me on there. Figure we can all keep in touch & chat with each other!

It is secret group, which means that nobody can see the group, nobody can see the members & nobody can see the posts.

I know some of us haven't told all our facebook friends & may want to keep it that way for now. So made it secret.

Now to add you, you have to be my friend, so if you want to friend me then look up Sharon Ivanauskas, also send me a message saying you want to joint he May 2012 sleevers group, so I know who you are!

Hi guys. I was sleeved Monday morning at 10 am, and discharged from the hospital the next day at noon. I'm doing well. Walking every hour or so, got in all my liquids yesterday. I will say this much, day one sucks, especially if you've never had major surgery like me. Pain, nausea, no stomach muscle strength ( and u use those to laugh, cough, sit up, lay down!!!). But it does get better every day so keep your eye on the prize! Today I get to add in full liquids like yogurt and creamed Soups. I don't know how much I'll b able to get down but I've been on just Water and propel so far so I'm excited for change. Good luck to everyone!

MG - we're sleeve sisters! I was sleeved on Monday too! I'm doing much better than I thought I would at this point.

I'm on clear liquids for 2 weeks & then "full liquids" for weeks 3-6, puréed/soft for weeks 7-12, then "small bites" of regular food as of week 13.

:) Yeah I guess all doctors have different diet requirements. I was allowed to add full liquids at day 4, Protein Drinks at day 7. I'm excited about full liquids but worried it won't go down. Even propel is tough sometimes!

If anyone wants to join our 'secret' Facebook group for May 2012 sleevers, just friend me on Facebook!

Sharon Ivanauskas

Then post here or PM me or something to say you are a May sleever & I will add you to the group!

We have several members already & it is nice to chat with each other!

Oh & the group is secret, so nobody can find the group if they search, nobody can see the posts & nobody can see the members.

I kept it that way as not all of us have told all our friends on facebook!

I was sleeved May 9th in Gilbert, AZ with Dr. Schuster. I had the best experience as far as hospital care but my first day and night were the worst. After that it gets better every day :) I've lost 32 lbs since pre op - 3 weeks ago!

      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.
