I was sleeved the 21st. Every day is better, but I think the real turning point was the 6th day out. I just woke up feeling much better. I've really focused on drinking 64 oz daily and i think thats made a huge difference in how i feel. Getting dehydrated causes nausea and a bunch of other issues.

Yesterday I was allowed full liquids so I've been concentrating on getting 60 grams of Protein so my energy level can come back. I'm a bit worried because I haven't lost any wieght since I was sleeved. But I lost 30 pounds in 3 months pre-op, so I'm pretty sure my body is just trying to figure out what happened.

Take things slowly, don't push and overdo things. Right now staying hydrated and healing are your two most important jobs.

I was sleeved on the 23rd and had the worst gas pains... They will get better around Day 5. I couldn't sleep at the hospital for two days but when I got home I slept in a recliner for a few days... Take your pain meds for the gas and walk, walk, walk....

      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.
