Thank you for all the love & support, fellow sleevers! :)

I am currently 1 day post op ... !

My pain yesterday after surgery (which for me was a 1 hour surgery) was maybe an "8" out of "10" right after waking up.

They gave me some morphine & some zofran - and it wasn't too shabby.

The night time was the worst so far. All the anesthesia had officially worn off, cause more pain than what the morphine and things could offer. However, it wasn't too terrible, maybe back up to a "7" for pain.

I completed my swallow test approx 3 hours ago (NO LEAKS! yay) - so I am waiting for the surgeon to A-OK me for some Water & Jello.

My pain right now - a 4 on a scale of 1-10. Not too bad - & I honestly have a VERY LOW pain tolerance.

The scariest part left (for me, personally) is the removal of this drain!!! =/ & the removal of the IVs of course - icky!

I'd be more than happy to answer any & all questions.

Sorry for any typos - I'm drifting in & out of sleep - ha

      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.
