I am officially sleeved! I had my surgery this morning around 7:30 am. Immediately after waking up I had a ton of gas pain, but it has dissipated a lot over the day. While hh were doing the surgery my surgeon found a small hernia and fixed that too!

It has been a great journey and an awesome (but tiring) journey. The entire staff here is awesome and very attentive. I can't believe I have finally made it to the other side, I feel really blessed to have had everything work out.

I hope all the other July 26th sleevers are doing well also!

Wow, that's scary passing out like that, I'm glad you were ok! I can see how that'd happen with a low bp though. Did they keep you longer because of it?

I stayed two nights, so not much longer but I guess they kept me that extra night because of it. I don't even remember passing out. Lol, I'm glad I'm ok too tho! I was mainly scared of snatching my IV out! eek! I hate those things!

      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.
