I wish it was today. I am so ready for this. Unfortunately, my computer at home just died so I'm going to have to find some way of updating you and everyone. My computer was sent out for a new mother board. I might just go buy an i-pad. Somehow I'll update.

What time is your surgery scheduled for?

I didn't actually go into the room until 11:00. The surgery took 2 hours. I got to my room around 5:00. I feel great.

Hi, Lifer!

I hope your surgery went well and that you're on the road to recovery.

My surgery is being done by Dr. Kruger on July 1st--who was your surgeon? I'd love to hear any info from your experience that you'd like to share.

I had Dr. Streeter! Ended up staying 4 nights because I lost some blood during surgery and had to have a transfusion. They are super precautious , which is good. The blood loss had nothing to do with the sleeve , or leaks or anything like that. As a matter of fact, when I woke up, I couldn't believe it was done. Haven't had any gas or issues like that. I've been walking and trying to drink lots of Water but it's hard to get it all down. Everybody at Tobey was great (except for my crazy roommate). Lol. Can't wait to start a semi- normal diet. Have my 1 week appt this afternoon. Please feel free to ask anything!

      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.
