I got sleeved Tuesday morning! It went smooth. I was scared mostly about the IV. I was so scared I was shaking and the anesthesiologist tried to put it in my wrist and it busted my vein.. Blood everywhere! Eek! Then she put a new one in my arm which worked fine! I couldn't pee to save my life.. I finally did after I had my IV etc in. Surgery went smooth and day 1 in the hospital was a breeze! Day 2 I had a little more pain. My IV leaked and my arm/hand got really swollen/ filled with Fluid. The chocolate 'oh yeah' little shots weren't going down great (I had like heartburn from all my swelling)

So they gave me Isopure it was this grape drink with 40 grams of protein! That worked sooooo much better for me! I had a nose bleed late last night and had to cough up blood! Coughing HURTS but so does laughing and I did that quite a bit too! I got released today.. Free at last, free at last! I feel like I can move without an IV in! I'm really happy with getting this! And although day 2 was hard, I'm having a great day 3! Good luck to y'all!! Just think this time next summer a possible bikini or at least tankini! :)

      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.
