Hi,

I'm sleeved! I remember them putting me to sleep then next thing I know I'm in the recovery room. In the recovery room I was so medicated I don't recall much and the pain was not bad at all for me! It just felt sore and like a tummy ache. I slept a lot afterwards and the nurses would check my vitals and take my blood. The Heprin shot burns but for 45 seconds. It hurts to get out of bed, but I walked twice last night. I just went to take my leak test and I passed! I'm waiting for the nurses to bring me some clear diet food. I don't have gas pains but I've been farting lol and burping. If I tolerate the Clear liquids, I can go home today. But I wouldn't mind staying another night, the nurses are great and my bed is comfy haha

Thank you for the prayers and well wishes :)

And I hope everyone surgery a went well!

Yay sleeve buddy! My tummy hurts too and sipping liquids makes my stomach cramp and /or burp or hiccup. I've not been farting though. I haven't had a bowel movement either. That and how little I'm peeing has me slightly perturbed.

I was also sleeved on Monday and I can't stop going to the little girls room. I had a good amount of discomfort but I feel good now. Minimal gas pains. The worse part was getting in and out of bed. I am up to two oz of Water per hour. They also brought me a tray of food but I didn't want it.... My surgeon jut came in and said everything looked great. They will be removing the IV soon and I will be on full liquids once I leave.

I am home now. It seems that somehow between the shower before leaving the hospital and the drive home I must have kicked something up because at home I'm in some pain again. Especially my lower gut. I just sent hubby out for gas x and colace.

How are you hanging in AD? Did they send you home yet?

I also had my surgery on Feb. 4 which included Hiatal Hernia repair and came home yesterday afternoon. I was very tired yesterday but have been up walking some today and took a shower. When I try to drink something I get pain and have to burp or think I will explode. Have this pressure in my upper chest but one of my nurses said this is normal and not to get scared that I am having a heart attack.

      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.
