Hi, everyone. I am new to this forum, but have been reading your posts a lot to help me get ready. You all gave me confidence and the ability to set realistic expectations. I was sleeved yesterday. I must be one of the lucky ones. I am feeling great. Yesterday, I had trouble with the gas pain, but that has subsided. I am not hungry at all, but am getting my liquids and Protein in. I can't wait to start seeing results! I just wanted to write a quick thank you for getting me prepared!

Me, too! I wish everyone could experience it this way. If you get the pain from the gas, take the pain meds and a heating pad works. Good luck!

Congrats on getting sleeved! Glad to hear everything went fine. Gas pain will subside soon. I had it for like first 2-3 days, First day was the worst. I started walking only on the second day and once I started walking the pain subsided fast. Be sure to get in the required nutrition per your surgeon's advice. Stick to your meal plan. You'll see great results.

I wish you a speedy recovery and great weight loss!! :)

      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.
