How did your surgery go' date=' ShrinkyDink?[/quote']

Surgery went really well. I had single site Dr said it would take about 2 hours and he finished in an hour fifteen ;-)

My sleeve had a lot of swelling and I failed my leak test Tuesday morning as the contrast would not leave my esophagus. So i stayed until yesterday and did a repeat upper gi in the morning. Fluids were still moving slowly but it was much better than Tuesday.

I haven't really had much pain. The area around my belly button hurts when I get up from laying or sitting.

The gas pains started yesterday. Mine seemed to have been delayed. Gas and bowel sounds started yesterday afternoon.

Still trying to figure this all as far as sipping and eating. My belly talks to me now when I drink Water it gurgles. Which I'm sure will. Go away as swelling goes down but ya never know ;-)

If you have any questions let me. Know

      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.
