Hoping everyone who was sleeved yesterday is recovering well. My operation went well, had an undiagnosed hiatal hernia that my surgeon fixed as well since he was in there anyway. Yesterday was a bit rough until they got a pain medication that would work for me. I was up and walking about 4 hours after surgery had just ice chips until this am.

Started sips slowly this morning. Things have been going well so far. No nausea today and since I kept my sips down I was able to come home around 2pm.

Take care everyone!!

Good morning/afternoon everyone....

I was sleeved on the 28th and my surgery went well..... I prayed all the way up until the anestheioslogist came to tell me you will be going back in 15 mins.... When i came out surgery i heard ppl talking(lol) and i realized i was alive and everything would be alllright. I am at home finally. I had to stay 1 extra day due to my bp being extremely high. Overall the surgery went well.... My surgeon says it was easy and my liver was small so he was able to go in and do what needed to be done and now im on the road to recovery!!!! I had some shoulder pain and my leftside has been sore but im up walking and sipping as much as i can!!! Glad to read that evveryones surgery went well and we are in the land of the living!!! Praise God\o/

I was sleeved on 12/28 also. I am home now. I stayed at my moms last night and thank goodness I did cuz I had a dizzy spell in her bathroom after I took a shower and I passed out for a couple minutes. I'm sure it was from being dehydrated. So everyone has been pushing me to drink, drink, drink. I am not able to get in all my fluids or Protein yet bc of gas pain. Suppose to see my dr tomorrow to have my drain out. I just keep saying to myself you can do this, you can do this!!

I didn't have a drain.. and no dehydration because after surgery they had me on bag and bags and bags of fluids. No drain cause my doctor said my inside were so clean it was the easiest surgery he done in over a year. Im proud of my self knowing that. Made me blush a little. Im 5 days post op and feeling better day by day... I been getting in my Protein and Water. I stop drinking when it starts to hurt or it gets hard to swallow. I wait 20 mins and keep sipping.. I also put the treadmill on 1 and walk for 20 mins it helped get the gas pain out. I got some really great pain and nausea meds. I dont regret my decision im happy and so ready for the new "B"

      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.
