Surgery was on Monday at 130. I had single site incision. Surgeon said it could take about an hour and a half to two hours. It ended up going much better than he planned and he was done in an hour fifteen.

I had a lot of swelling the next day in my tummy so much that I failed the leak test Tuesday morning.

I had the repeat test today and there was a lot of improvement but Fluid is still moving slowly.

I did get released tonight and have been home for about an hour.

Still pretty gassy and having some chest pain thay goes away upon belching.

Yesterday I had buyers remorse because I felt like **** and wanted something to eat.

But all in all I am doing really good. Moving around fine. Haven't really had any pain. I have one incision inside my belly button and then one that's not even an inch just below my sternum and to the right a little. That's where they held up my liver.

Glad to be home and resting here. My two years old is made at me for leaving her for four days :-(. But shell come around soon enough.

Hope all the newly sleeved are doing well!

I think you are probably right since I had a fatty liver.

      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.
