Here waiting too! Excited but scared. It was hard saying bye to my kids this morning. There's no turning back now! I'm doing this to make sure I'm here to raise them. I'm really emotional right now.

I'm in and out of consciousness. But I really don't have pain I'm surprised that I've even had surgery today. Drunk too much earlier today and was hurting a little bit but other than that. I'm fine.

Hey everyone! How's everyone feeling?

Just got home from the hospital this afternoon. Feelin pretty good but really sore. Pain is manageable. Water feels weird going down. Like bubbly feeling which I think is gas... Full liquids go down easier. The day of the surgery and the day after was horrible. I was so over medicated and nauseated I was vomiting. One time I vomited so hard that I broke a blood vessel in my head, actually felt it pop, and then blood came pouring out my nose. That was scary! But that night I turned a corner and I feel like I am doing well today.

MK1986. I am doing much better as well some pain at my incision sites. I am down 15lbs so far and I am ecstatic. I am definitely tired of the liquids and ready to move to another phase but I am being patient and I know it will come in time.

I'm new, I was sleeved on Mar 11th,came home on the 14th. I am on purees. Doing OK haven't taken pain meds since yesterday. I'm actually worried or confused maybe that I seem to be easily able to drink and eat. I am not experiencing the 'three bites and full' that you hear about. I'm down 19 from my highest (12 since surgery day)

      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.
