I've been in my room since about 1:30. I've been up walking so much as it is the only thing that really gives me relief

All's well in here in room 2!

I was so nervous about going under and I hardly remember a thing after they slipped me the good stuff! So glad I brought my BestGalpal. She's 10 months out, an amazing support. Would be lost without her.

They've got us on the narcotic pain relifmso I'm drifting in and out. I feel fine though! No pain!

Hiya guys I'm finally able to reply. The surgery went well but the after is not so good. I have a high fever that has been ongoing since the surgery, and I have a lot of pain related to the gas. They have kept me in the hospital for an extra night and I am having trouble sleeping. Sorry for the late posting but I really have not been doing so well. Thanks everyone for your prayers. Paige

Oh my God' date=' it is finally here.... S(sleeve)-Day! My surgery is in 3 hours. Will be leaving for the hospital in 15 minutes....

Thanks to everyone here who has answered my crazy questions, given me encouragement/advice and support. I actually have VST and all of you to thank for getting me to this day. This was the first place I came for information back in August and it was VST and it's members that gave me the courage to do this....

And a special thanks to enuf is enuf....I'm not sure what your occupation is but honey, if you are not a motivational speaker or minister, YOU SHOULD BE!! You're awesome!

I'd appreciate prayers and positive thoughts.

And by the way, I am freaking starving!!! I've been on Clear Liquids for 2 days and well, I hope this is not a sign of things to come because I could a giant steak RIGHT NOW....

Thanks you guys! XOXOXO

Ok I know that I have been MIA. Ok so today I feel so much better having a little trouble getting on my liquid in. I have been up and down for the past two days. I have no desire to eat anything. I don't have a scale at home because I knew I would go overboard with the weighing myself. I don't feel bad I just don't feel 100%. I am trying to keep my spirits high. Glad to be home. Glad to be in my own environment . Hope this is some help for someone.

      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.
