Hi everyone; I am sleeved as of 3pm yesterday! Normally I would enter this as a blog, but I'm in hospital still and using my phone so positing in the forum is easier. I will blog more detail later.

I am doing really REALLY well. Not gonna lie, it hurt when I woke up from surgery and I combatted a few waves of nausea but I was able to breathe through it and not heave. The pain was eventually taken care of when they got me dialed in on the right meds. I was up every 2 hrs during the night to use the bathroom. Feeling quite perky this morning & waiting for the Dr. I know I'm here til this afternoon. I am kinda bored actually. But very VERY happy! The staff here is awesome & my husband is an angel & a very good nurse :)

I know if I keep feeling this frisky I will need to MAKE myself take it easy, because I don't want to over do it and feel bad later.

To my fellow 5/22 sleeves - hope you all are doing well too!

I am glad to hear your doing well. I had my band to sleeve revision plus a hiatal hernia repair on May 6th. I was uncomfortable for a few days but no strong pain. I came home and felt great on day 3 just tired. I was a bit depressed because I came home 8 pounds heavier due to Water weight. I have since lost that plus about 14 pounds. I have been over doing it which is easy to do and if your like me and can't sit still that is easy to do so be careful and take it easy. I have had a wonderful recovery. I am 17 days out and I am on soft foods. I have tried some moist chicken and ground beef and have had no problems. I just eat a tiny bit and I am full. You will both do great!

Thanks for the well wishes! @Staci, I am in Castle med ctr on Oahu. Please try not to worry too much, the nurses are here to help you & will manage your pain. It's a very distant memory for me already.

@sherry sounds like u r doing great! I have no doubt all the fluids have added temp weight but that's cool; I won't weigh for a week.

Dr came & said all is well. I did 1 oz Water & now working on 1 oz broth. It is relish! :P

Onward!

      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.
