Hello Fellow Sleevers,

I was sleeved on the 7th, and am still in the hospital and I feel amazing already. Since I am still on the liquid diet, I was amazed that I became full after eating 3 spoons of Jello. In all honesty food is not on my mind at all.

I am happy to be in the losers bench!!

I am still in the hospital and have yet to try anything so far. I must admit I have seen some improvements since last night. The walking must be helping!

Walking is key to moving gas in the hospital. I also got some relief from doing what I did for my infant daughter: "burping" by patting the left side of my abdoment rhythmically and running my hand from ribs to hips to guide gas out of the large intestine. My nurses gave me a warmed blanket to help relieve muscles locked by morphine; that was heavenly. The best relief came from transitioning off morphine and down to codeine and then children's liquid ibuprofen. Once the narcotics were out, my gut work up and started processing the gas as it should. Hang in there! It gets better.

Finally drifted off about 1:30 but had to get up a couple of times to get rid of all the Water I pounded before midnight. On the way to the hospital now. Good luck all you 10th sleevers!

      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.
