How are our August sleevers going? I had my surgery last Tuesday and feel fantastic already. Spent 3 nights in hospital and had drip and 2 horribly drains, but that was the worst of it. No shoulder pain from gas. Everything else was a breeze. Still on fluids for another week. Some dull pain ad lts of gurgling noises from sleeve when i drink, but this is getting less and less each day. Getting about 2 litres of liquid in daily.

Would love to hear how everyone else s going.

Sleeved on Aug 1, just saw this thread. It's like a club w/in a club :) I've had a textbook surgery, recovery, & an amazing experience @ a COE medical center on Birmingham, AL. I'm getting out of my 'what the hell have I done; mourning food stage'. Giving away my 1st set of 'too big' clothes really helps ya get thru that. It's been an interesting, crazy ride I don't regret. Still taking it easy, sore, tired, trying to get used to my food/drink regimen. Getting used to my new life, free from food, guilt, & shame. It's awesome! Good luck u guys!

      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.
