Got my sleevie yesterday!!!!! Only nausea I had was last night when I stood up for a minute, as soon as I laid down it felt better. Only pain is this one stinkin gassy area, but when I finally laid completely flat it felt much better. I was so hungry yesterday cuz surgery didn't happen until 2:30. It is so weird to not feel hungry NOW. Waiting to do my barium swallow (gag barf) to see if I can start sipping. Oh, and the hysterectomy went well too. I should be released tomorrow. :)

Good luck today! You've encouraged me about my date - 10/11 in just 12 days! I've read too many "complication stories" and have got myself worked up inside, emotionally, with fear. I know everything will be fine. There are more stories like yours that outweight the "horror" stories! Thanks.

I was sleeved on tuesday and as well got myself really worked up about the 'what ifs'. Day of surgery was painful with the gas coming out and every day since has been great. As long as you doc has a good regime for you to follow you will do great! I even stopped taking pain meds on thursday night. And I barely took any during the day thursday. Just remember to keep walking and sipping. Those are the secrets ;) Good luck

      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.
