Hello everyone!! Hope all is well. I was sleeved on the 10th at 7 am! I have been home since Friday, doing okay. It's not all peaches and roses but I'm getting there. I have my ups and downs where I feel great one time and the next I am just exhausted. Giving myself the lovenox injections haven't been to bad, but be warned they sting after the fact. I am not getting all my liquids in but I am working on it. Today I started a check off list of my Protein fluids vs. regular fluids. Hoping this will help. I have been able to get my Vitamins down, but last night they made me sick to my stomach. The main things I am focusing on is my incentive spirometer (for breathing - helps preventive pneumonia after surgery.), walking, sipping fluids, and resting. Resting is the easy part whenever I set on my couch I dose I off. I haven't slept in my bed yet as I am afraid I won't be able to get out, so I have been sleeping in the recliner. Where I can get up and down without having to wake people up to help me get up. :)

I had my sleeve on the 11th. Not until like 5pm! (That felt like the longest day ever). Came home Friday around 4pm. Am doing well other than tired, tired, tired. I haven't been able to get the full amount of Protein yet. That stuff tastes nasty. Yesterday I had 1/2 a SF ice pop, about 24 ounces of SF Fluid and about 20 grams (I think it is grams) of Liquid Protein. Today I will try to get more of the liquid protein.

I am still having some belching and gas but no nausea. I just feel strange. I have changed my body, I can't undo it now and that is weird. I don't regret doing it because I know I needed it,but I wondre will it work, will I be okay.

I work from home and think I will even be up to getting back to work this week. Happy for that. I am tired of watching television and sleeping. But the sleep just comes so quickly.

I think I ended up w a cold as well. I had a stuffy nose the day fo surgery and was just praying that they wound't cancel me but when I woke up I saw that I have a cold sore on my lip and am still a bit stuffy. So I am taking my temperature consistently to make sure there is no problem.

Well onward and upward! Got to change my ticker at the bottom now!

anybody else have a update? And good luck to those going this week!

      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.
