I was sleeved by Dr K on June 11th, and although I do not work outside the home, I was well enough to do all the house chores and keep up with my 3 young kids, right after sugery. My aunt (who is in her mid 50's) went back to her job, seven days after surgery, and has done very well. She did have to start using protien at ten days out, but other than that, no troubles! You'll do great!

As long as your job isn't too physical, you shod be fine. I am doing fine, I have had no pain other than some lingering pesky gas pains. My energy was low the the first week, but now at two weeks out is back to normal.

I am there with dr kelly 4th to the 8th

Thank for the words of encouragement! I am a Social Worker, and do a lot of desk work, which should help.

I am starting the 3 day liquid diet tomorrow. I am getting really excited, but am preparing myself that there can be complications. It just seems like I have food on my brain!!!! Last night I went to the grocery and bought all kinds of food that I could cook for my grown kids whe they come this Friday....which is funny because I do north enjoy cooking!!! It's like each meal is my last meal...so silly but I know pretty normal.

Jennifer and I are doing great. We have rooms right across the hall from each other. I had terrible gas pain the day of surgery, but I felt a lot of relief over night and hardly any pain 24 hours out from surgery (except for a general soreness). I think we have the swallow test tomorrow and will move to the hotel.

Since I am staying a few extra days, Omar said he would bring me to the hospital to meet and talk to people coming in next week.

Omar has been such a doll. His has taken my SO and Jennifer's daughter out for their meals and keeps checking on us. He even brought me a fan from his home because my room was too warm for me.

      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.
