Hoosiergirl and 4my2boys - its great to hear you both are doing well. Keep us updated! When do you think you'll go home? Do you feel any hunger?

I leave for home tomorrow. THey removed my drain today, so technially, I could have left today. Something about one extra day of rest seemd right to me!

NO HUNGER at all. A bit of upset stomach now and then due to acid production, but I have meds to help with that. Everyone from the surgery center was calling me "super woman" because I bounced back so quickly.

What is the invite thing about? Sorry new to group and a bit confused.

Also I'm on the pre op diet and I'm tired all the time. I've been going to bed early, feel good in the morning but get tired as the day goes on. Is it because of not having many calories? Just getting nervous. Surgery is Monday.

Hi everyone! I was sleeved on February 4, also. Woke up in a lot of pain. It has gotten better since. It is a strange sensation, gurgling and pressure. The pain meds are super helpful at this point. I am so happy and a little envious of those who are not having any issues. :) I am on the way home now. Passed the leak test and have kept in all my fluids! Woohoo! Here we go!

I have the lapband which is getting reversed to the sleeve on the 19th, when I got my lapband I remember struggling on the preop diet like I am with this one, and thinking how am I going to be able to do this for weeks after?! well the weeks after are actually easier! your stomach will be so much smaller so you won't get those hunger pains. think of it as 2 weeks of struggle for a new life!

Are you allowed to have anything other then liquids on your preop diet. I'm allowed to have cheese stick yogurt pudding and cottage cheese just no more then 6 a day, it makes it a little easier but not much. Who wants to be Eating cottage cheese when their family are having hamburgers. But so far I have not given into temptations even though its hard

      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.
