Well doing quite well. Sleeved yesterday at 7 am. Was in recovery until about 4 pm due to really low blood pressure 81/47. When bp finally normal, went to hotel. Woke up every two hours. Went back to Dr. At 7:30am today and got iv fluids. Been walking every hour around inside of house. Enjoys sugar free popsicles...well lying down I have no pain ..heat pad helps. So glad day 2 was better.

I know it's a bit tough right now. Ok, maybe it's more like HELL, but it's the first full day of your new life. Tomorrow will be better, the next day will be better than tomorrow. Life just keeps getting better from here.

      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.
