Hi

I was sleeved on 31 October and so far so good. Day 1 and day 2 were a little rough - crushed ice was about all I could manage, but last night I slept like a baby and am feeling great today. I'm on free fluids and have managed about a tablespoon of yoghurt and about the same of black tea.

I also had my gall bladder removed at the same time so I have 7 wounds on my tummy which are healing nicely.

Heading home today so I'm a bit apprehensive about that, but looking forward to being in my own bed.

So glad I've done this, and proud of myself for taking control of my life. Best of luck to everyone else on this path. :-)

Glad all is going well with you! The lung Dr today was making nervous saying how bad recovery will be with the sleeve hernia and gallbladder. :)

Good luck to you

      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.
