Surgery went well yesterday. I was disharged today and I'm so happy to be home. I am in some pain but the pain meds are helpful. I'm also havng trouble getting comfortable because of the stomach pain. I haven't been able to get down much Water but I have been sipping here and there. I did eat a sugar free popsicle today. I can't believe I'm Post Op day 1. I'm really proud of myself for going through with the procedure. You all have helped me get through this and I wouldn't have been able to do it without my VSG family! I wish everyone much success and I'm sending prayers and blessing to u all;-)

Congrats of becoming a Sleever :). It was hard for me to get comfortable especially on my left side - that the side my doctor said he removed my stomach from one of the incisions.

It will get better. As for the Water, just continue to sip sip sip sip as much as you can, no need to force it. Those SF popsicles are great, I keep at least 2 boxes of them in the freezer.

We all need to be really proud, this is a huge commitment to our health. I'm day four. I found if I sit up really straight or even stretch a little everything gowns down more easily! Be strong!

      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.
