Ok, so I thought I would breeze through this no problem. Woke up from surgery with massive dry heaving and pain. Found out that the Morphine was making me very nausiated. They changed me to di lauded and now massive gas pains. Wondering if I made the right decision. I just want to cry. Hurt so badly. I even have a second belly button from the swelling. Need encouragement.

Remember....every day gets better. Today is bad but tomorrow will be a little better. Get up and walk if you can. I promise it helps

I was sleeved on the 1st and was totally right where you are! IT DOES GET BETTER!! The dry heaving was horrible. I don't even remember much of the first day or so in the hospital! You'll be feeling better before you know it! Hang in there! I pray for a speedy recovery

I experienced the same thing...I weaned myself off everything. Started walking and felt much better...my only issue now dealing with wanting more than clear broth atleast tmrw I go to cloudy broth which will help the head hunger.

Good luck your doing great. I am down almost 20lbs in 2 weeks...

Stacy03 thank you. Yes, that first day is a blur. I was so out of it, and they kept asking me questions, like who my other insurance carriers were and phone number. I yelled at the guy, or at least my son says I did, calling him a stupid ass as I had changed both several times and why they couldn't get it right. I honestly don't even remember that conversation. How are you feeling now? Do you have pain where the main port was? I am in so much pain in the big incision every time I move. Sucks.

I had my surgery Tuesday, July 2nd. Went great, not a lot of complaints. The "food" is getting old already, and I'm at complete liquid til day 15 when I get to start stuff of applesauce consistency. I can't wait for the pain to subside so I can go exercise again. Other than that I feel like I am learning a new language!!

That's a great way to put it, Kary--it really is a new language. We're learning to speak "Sleevish", I guess! I'm not quite fluent yet, but I'm getting a little better at it each day. :D

      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.
