Had surgery yesterday, feeling good today. No nausea or vomiting (so far). Just tired because I never get a good nights sleep in hosp. Im just watching tv and sipping away. Been for a little walk and had a shower. This is heaps easier than I was expecting, so i guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Hope you are all doing well, check in with us when you feel up to it :)

I am being discharged today. I consider myself lucky I was up walking at 12:30 and walked 5 times my first day. Had some pretty bad nausea from anesthesia but it is much better now!

I hope the rest of the sleevers are doing great!!

I had surgery on the 17th, as well. Came home Sunday. Every time I drank anything the first 3 days, lots of burping, and sharp chest pains. The have slowly gone away. Did anyone else have the same experience?

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone. I've also had the WORSE case of the runs since Sunday, and I'm on heavy duty narcotics, I thought I'd be constipated. Anyone else out there with the same?

      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.
