Was sleeved on Wednesday and also had a hiatal hernia repair. When I had my EGD, my surgeon initially said it was a small hiatal hernia, but when he got in there to do the surgery, I guess it was quite large. Got home yesterday around 6, still in some pain and not hungry at all. Trying to get my fluids in, but keep having these burp/hiccup things that hurt pretty bad. Been walking around the house and don't feel as bad as I anticipated, so I guess all in all doing ok!

The same thing happened to me. I had a low grade fever the morning after and I got scared but it went away on its own too.

I know what you mean! I must have had a look on my face because everyone kept telling me not to run off while I was waiting...lol there was a delay in getting the OR ready so it was a little nerve racking. Hang in there and don't run off, you will do great :)

hw far u out AND able to eat cheddar Soup

My doctor said I can have any soup I want as long as its diluted and ran through a strainer. It must be a liquid. Milk shake consistency would be to thick. I usually mix one and half can full of skim milk and the other half with Water. It's no thicker than the Protein Drink I get and it goes right through a strainer. I feel very confident in my doctor. He is extremely popular and has over 5,000 sleeves under his belt. If I ever have a question I call his office and they are wonderful. I'm on day 10.

I purchased my strainer at Walmart. It's the one with the smallest holes. I would compare it to the screens on your window.

      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.
