I'm 5 days post-op and 4 of my 6 steristrips have come off (I'm sure the doctor will take off the others at my follow up tomorrow). I took off the exterior bandages on Day 2 post-op and have had no complications; I'm even getting all of my liquid and Protein in! Life is good!

And, although I've read about drainage tubes here, I didn't have one. Spent one night in the hospital.

Sleeved yesterday, home today from the hospital. Was not as bad as I was expecting. The worst part was the first afternoon. They have me loritabs which does not work on me so it took them awhile to get sumn different. I'm home now and trying really hard to get my 48oz of liquids down. Hope everyone else doing well!!

      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.
