Had surgery around 1ish this afternoon and YIPPEE! Everything has gone perfectly! I don't even need pain meds.. Although, I will take one as soon as I'm done writing just so I can sleep in a steange bed. I'm getting very antsy and want to leave. Been up and walking so much the dr asked me to settle down.. Hehe!

Don't get me wrong, I am sore, but it's like a good sore after a work out.

Only iv Fluid for now and haven't eaten anything for 36 hrs and have no hunger pains or desire to eat. My daughter has brought in plenty food for herself and it didn't phase me in the least. YIPPEE AGAIN!

Praying the easy time and sucess with having sleeve surgery continues.

I feel so fortunate to have such an easy time. When I had the lapband twice the gas pains were almost unbearable and lasted through the flight home. Now, no pain or hunger just some small amt of soreness at incision sites. Been running around TJ with my remarkable coordinator, Trish! Today, after shopping, I'm going to treat myself to a Lil' Botox and mani & pedi and sip my Protein next to the pool side.

I have found that I must be bloated because my bra needs to be two hooks from normal and I'm not comfy in my jeans. I recommend bringing low cut jeans or yoga pants so not to interfere with belly button incision.

I'm so happy.. I wish the best to everyone

      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.
