Getting sleeved today! Have to be at the hospital at 10' date=' surgery is at 1. Very nervous and excited. Good luck to everyone else that is being sleeved today!![/quote']

Surgery is delayed because the first pt took longer than expected. Been sitting here since 10, becoming more anxious! Ugh!

Bit sleeved on Monday. That was a rough night. Had dry heaves all night....kept going to the bathroom to pee but couldn't-----beers time I heaved----peed my pants! That was unexpected. Argh. Home now. Set my phone alarm for every two hours to make me get and walk. I feel better laying down than sitting up, but really not too bad! Trying to get liquids down but its hard.

memk - I asked the same question but then I bought a few different ones and tried them myself. I highly recommend that route. Unjury is off the Internet and I liked some of them but not all. I am a chocolate person so I settled on a Isolate chocolate that I got at Vitamin World. I add about 2 teaspoons of my favorite coffee creamer for a change of flavor. Everyone's taste buds vary so check them out for yourself before sinking a lot of money into one kind. I also found a fruit drink at Vitamin World that tastes like a Pina Colada without the rum. It is by CyroSport and is whey isolate. No milk base. It seems to be easier on my stomach post-surgery than the shakes.,..,.even the lactose free shakes.< /p>

I had my surgery on monday and when I woke up I was in so much pain. I asked myself why did you do this?? Once my pain medicine started I stayed asleep most of the time but when I was awake I started throwing up. It was TERRIBLE. I guess my body was not liking the pain meds. I came home yesterday and the 2nd day was soo much better than the first. My bp was elevated last night which have me a headache and I'm soo ready to lose some weight so it will go down permanently. I know everyone's experience is different. I am finding it hard to get my Protein in. I can't feel any of my incisions except the large one on my right side. It really does get better each day.

Don't force the Protein for a couple of days. At this point drink anything that feels good. I liked Gatorade. By day 4 you will be good to go!

      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.
