Had follow up appointment yesterday. It went well. Staples removed. Lol was told not to worry about weight or stall because Dr. Office will not consider me a weight loss patient for 6 weeks. I'm to just recover from surgery.

It's official, out the blocks I'm a "slow stalling loser"... I'm actually thankful for it. Because the inches lost are amazingly noticeable. Stalled 6 days! Today believe the stall is broken.

High-265

Surgery-256

9 day-247.6

Hi to all the December 17th sleevers!!! How are you all?? The hospital so far has been great and staff are very caring. I also threw up once and dry heaved until they took me off the morphine since it was making me nauseous . I'm taking liquid Vicodin and it works well. Dr. Juarez hasn't been into visit me yet' date=' but hopefully I will see him later today. How's everyone else doing ?[/quote']

I came home yesterday.I had the same problem with the morphine so they took me off of it. But I feel good have some pain from surgery site. But all I good so fat

I'm 6 days away - getting sleeved on 12/26. Finally settling into the pre op diet. I love reading the stories of those who have already had the surgery. Helps me stay motivated. For those who have already had surgery - is there anything that you took to the hospital that made things better?

Wow Belle!! incredible!

I was sleeved on Tuesday, came home thursday night. As of now am feeling good. the area of my stomach feels heavy and the incisions hurt a bit but regular parecetemol is helping. haven't needed anything more since hospital. took me 4 days to get over the anaesthetic and the first day is a complete blur but i feel good and have lost almost 4 kilos (almost 8 pounds) in 4 5 days! and am under 100 kilos (219 pounds).

its incredible how I'm not hungry and can survive on so little. Hopefully the weights will keep coming off!

      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.
