Hi all! I went in for my surgery on Monday April 9th. I came home today. I feel fantastic!! Happy to report I've not one issue. No nausea, been drinking a good amount of Water and broth. The incisions (5) are very sore. But I can handle that. Lots of gurgling going on in there. But so far so good!!! Best of luck to my fellow April sleevers!!!

Yay jdhenin! I was sleeved on 4/9 too and so far so good. Same as you, just gurgling and soreness to deal with, have only taken one half dose of liquid Tylenol, really haven't had enough pain to justify nasty liquid medicine (whoever thought up "pleasant cherry flavor" should be poked with a sharp stick, but I digress). Glad to hear others are doing well too! Congrats!

      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.
