Mixed feelings...

It's so hard not to have mixed feeling but I'm telling you after a month goes by you feel so good! I had the sleeve in December and I'm down 61lbs, and it's the best feeling ever! Our minds still want all the food we use to eat but as each day goes by you end up being thankful you did it. Think positive

I was sleeved the same day as you. I was sick after I woke up and it didn't get better till around 7 pm that night. When I woke up Thursday, I felt good no pain meds or nausea since the day before. I was walking around the unit no problems. I got d/c around 3:30 pm and we drove home. It was the car ride from hell. I had to take Zofran Thursday and Friday along with the Vicodin. I was crying Friday, wondering what the hell did I do to myself? But guess what the last two days have been good ones! My daughters and I met Aidan from Being Human at Comic Con in Philly yesterday and today we went to the park and walked. Hopefully the days just get better! We have to remember this is a long process just like the one to have the surgery. If you need anyone to talk to message me.

I had surgery May 30, too. I was a revision from a lapband and thought I was pretty prepared but I also came home wondering what in the hell I had done to myself. Then I realized I just had most of my stomach cut out. Helps not to think about it much and just get to feeling better. I'm already down 16 lbs in 7 days and It feels good to see the scales moving. This time next year, I'm sure we won't think anything of it.

      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.
