Thank you everyone!!! I'm home. Now, day 8 and feeling great!! Last night I cheated and my body told me in no uncertain terms that it was NOT ok. Take it from me, if you're thinking about cheating? Don't. Anyways, today I was hardly hungry. Had some Soup and yogurt. My body doesn't seem to agree with most Soups as of yet. But my tummy loves yogurt and sf pudding! Allnewme yes I was sleeved with Tami!! She's awesome and so was our other sleeve sister Cindy. I'm so happy I'm sleeved :-) 8 days and down 11lbs!!! Who could ask for more?

I had a little freak out moment right before sending in my deposit. My surgery date is 1/18 and I know I am doing the right thing. Still, I will be glad when it's over.

Allnewme, I'm doing great!! Thanks for asking. I feel just fine, plenty of energy. I'm down 18lbs and I just had my first cup of coffee in two weeks. Needless to say, I'm in a happy place, lol.

Glad to hear that you are feeling good ! I tried so hard not to drink coffee after surgery. I waited over a month but I LOVE some coffee SO I caved and drank some. I am very much a coffee addict, be it right or wrong. I hope that you feel better each day. It is a journey and somedays are rougher than others.

Sleeved yesterday finally! Love Dr A and his awesome dedicated staff. Most weeks they work 7 days a week. We started offnina really sparse room but got moved this afternoon to swankier rooms. Much nicer in these. Surgery was swift, recovery has been painless so far. Today I am off of pain and nausea meds. No throwing up or anything. Slight cough from a dry throat and I am downing some ice chips as we speak. A little discomfort from the gas buttums seems to be helping.

In all a great experience! We get discharged early tomorrow. Can't wait to get in my own bed.

I would recommend Dr A to anyone in a heartbeat. It's not about the. Money, it's about the experience. He and his staff are really personable and warm. Down to Earth.

      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.
