Oh I'm sorry to hear you're having so much pain! I've read that after day 3 it usually eases off, I hope you get better sooner than that. (Hugs)

How frustrating that you were told you'd be first and you weren't. "/

I'm going to be angry if I'm not first. That's bull.[/quote']

Only one person can be first, so I would go with the idea that it won't be you. That way you won't be disappointed and you may be pleasantly surprised! It's much better to be pleasantly surprised than upset, especially on surgery day. :)

I think one of the factors for my surgeon was who had the farthest to travel to get back home. (I was second out of three of us.)

Thanks ladies. I am already feeling a lot better. I've been on pain medicine so it definitely helps. I don't know why everyone say walk walk walk cos I don't feel like its helped me at all. sleeping has helped me the most. The leak tests are yucky but really not that bad, they taste better than any cough medicine I've ever had. I mostly just feel thirsty and tired. I'll keep you guys posted. Xoxo

Worse than a csection?? Oh no. I don't think that I could tolerate that pain. I could hardly walk after my csection :/

Oh! I should have said that I have also requested to be first and have been told that I will be. :) thanks for being polite when you were probably scratching your head at my comment. Actually, I'll edit it. :)

Lucky you! That's great! I remember my surgeon asking all of us that were schedule that day who wanted to go first and none of us did! I sure didn't; but I didn't want to be last, either!

Well, I'm also going to dr. Garcia, like the op. now I'm wondering if I'll actually be first.

I was giggling when thinking about it today, thinking that most people probably don't want to go first. I just feel that the surgeon will be refreshed from a nights sleep and ready to tackle a new day of stomach scraps first thing in the morning. Hehe

A lot of people think its easier than a c section. Just because it hasn't been for me doesn't mean it will be for you. You'll do great sweetie

I had my gall bladder out and a c-section. C-Section hurt worse for me.

I had really easy csections so the sleeve was way worse for me too. If you had a rough csection, you'll probably think the sleeve was easier. Both surgeries are well worth it though and soon the discomfort will be a distant memory!!! Glad you're doing well iwilliam!!

      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.
