It really wasn't as bad as I expected. I really had no pain from my incisions or anything. The only problem was with the gas. Just make sure you walk, walk, walk. This will help pass the gas quicker. Also if you can get some of the GasX strips, these really helped.

I dont regret having this done at all. I had my surgery 2 months ago today and still have times where I am surprised that I did it!

Hope your experience is a good one!

Good luck to all of you. May you all have a smooth recovery. I too have done my share of going back and forth on going through with this. Once I get my official surgery date I think I'll feel better (right?). :huh: I just try not to spend to much time in my head. I know that I need to do this.

Good luck!! Mine is scheduled for noon on Friday. Went through the whole pre-admin review on the phone this past Friday. Get to do all the pre-op stuff from home (anti-nasea patch, colon cleanse) on Thurs. Been on a liquid diet since 11/2....SO ready to be on the other side of it so I can start healing and move forward.

Good Luck!! I got sleeved exactly last Monday! Gosh I still get excited thinking about it. The first day wasn't bad considering you have a "knockout button" you push whenever you feel the slightest pain or discomfort. The second and third day for me we difficult. Nothing unbearable just mostly discomfort. Realizing I had a catheter in me was SO ANNOYING!! But now im home and today I went walking the longest (food- or shall I say liquid- shopping) You will do great and as advised before, make sure you WALK, WALK, WALK!!! It'll pay off because im still getting rid of some of the gasses. : ) Give us an update!!

      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.
