Sleeved on 2/27. Should be released from hospital today. I'm up moving around and my only complaint is again the gas. Still taking several walks a day seems to keep the gas moving.

My question is they take the staples from incision out in a week. How do they do that? Is it awfully painful?

I hv staples too. I don't understand why disolvable stitches can't be used. Lol. I had stitches removed abt 7years ago after a csection, and yes it hurt. More of a sting. Im definitely not excited abt my 1 week post op appt wen i get them removed... good luck.

Wow, I consider myself lucky, my doctor didn't use staples or stitches. He used what he called super glue, so far nothing leaking or anything. I can shower when ever I want to, just with my back to the sprayer.

      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.
