I've had 2 csections my latest being 17 months ago. This surgery is a piece of cake.. all my nurses kept commenting. "Wow ur doing really well" I was like this is nothing compared to a cesarean! !!

Right on! My last c section was 14 months ago but by the time surgery is here it will be 16 months. I'm glad it was so easy for you, im hoping it will be for me too since my cesareans werent a problem.

I had 2 csections. My last one was 7 weeks before being sleeved. To me, the sleeve was worse. My csections were no problem and people were shocked that I had just had a baby. But I had no complications. I just had to care for a 7 week old when I got home.

What made your sleeve worse for you?

Three c- sections - last one was January 2012, sleeved November 2012 - no problems at all. Sleeve is much easier than section - sore for around 4-6 days post sleeve, then good to go!

It was more painful to me. The gas pains were horrible, I had stitches which were a pain, and the drain was icky to me haha. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

For me both the c section and the sleeve were comparible pain wise. I had a pretty easy recovery with my c section and was out of bed the next morning. Same with the sleeve. I did however have terrible nausea with the sleeve.

I didn't have a drain or stitches - had glue. Glad I did and that may be the difference. I also had gas but it didn't really get built up because I was burping like crazy. Very ladylike and sexy :)

Oh I didn't have drains and i had staples.. gas was terrible but it was in my chest.. it passed rather quickly. But overall pain when waking up from recovery. I can honestly say not bad. I hate to say this but I only used the morphine to quickly fall asleep not for the pain.

      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.
