I was sleeved on April 25th . I guess you could say im one of the lucky ones... i experienced NO GAS pains WHATSOEVER not even a slight tinge. I was in Moderate bt bearable pain immediately after surgery. But the drugs took care of that quickly. Morphine does NOTHING for my pain. I was switched to Dilotin not sure if thats how its spelled bt it is a GOD SENT!! i was in the hospital until Friday 04/27 and ive only taken pain meds ONCE since being home. My doctor releases us on pureed diet. its definitely a challenge getting in liquids. Never thought id see the day that i couldnt eat a whole popsicle in one sitting but it HAPPENED.. My mother baked chicken and green Beans then pureed it for me. OMG it was like a bowl of Disgusting looking HEAVEN lol.. Im just grateful that my sleeve has LOVED everything i put in it.. Im so greatful to have this opportunity to take control of my life. And guess what.. i didnt have the BUYERS remorse. im pretty sure a bad day is down the road bt for right now.. IM BLESSED!! hope everyone elses goes well!! I was sleeved by Dr. Virginia Weaver in Memphis,Tn

      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.
