I made it! I couldn't update yesterday, it was not a good day for me. I had terrible gas pains and nausea to boot. I could only walk 3 times yesterday due to the dizziness and dry heaving. Wow, that was a bad day and I'm glad it's behind me now! It does get better as each hour passes. Surgeon said everything went good. I think I will be getting off the oxygen and catheter today, that should help me feel more human again. I hope everybody else was a success and that they are feeling good! Good luck to the May 21st sleevers today! Sending prayers and good vibes your way!

Good luck to all going in tomorrow! I hope it goes smoothly for y'all. And the ones today, I hope you guys are doing great. Today was a complete turn around for me. Pain lessened, walking more, gas pains still coming and going, but I'm aware of what they are now and not having a panic attack that something is wrong. When I drink my Water, my stomach gurgles I guess you could say, it's weird. I'm not feeling any crazy restrictions when drinking, I just get nervous about how much to take in. I still have an IV, but gotta sip so I can go home tomorrow. Oh yeah, have a drain tube still and I hate it, looks so gross. Well, off to nap for a bit before these nurses come and bother me again. Lol

I was sleeved today and am pleasantly surprised with how good I feel. No nausea or vomiting. Just the occasional gas pains which are tolerable. The worst part is having dry mouth! I can't wait to be able to drink Water tomorrow morning!!

      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.
