I had mine 06/11 as well. I am still here in the hospital and fell a little better today but the first night and first day... Oh dear lordy lulu... I thought I was gonna die. So so so much gas pain, kept vomiting all night, didn't get any sleep. Last night was better, being released today. Going to the hotel for one night and then off back to California. I am just really anxious about what's next...

I was sleeved early Monday 6-10-13. My only challenge was nausea. I am up and about sipping and walking, feeling well. Not even interested in my weight right now. Just following directions to insure continued success. It did feel a bit strenuous this morning walking my dog. Who knew a 6 lb chiquaqua pulling at a leash would be engaging stomach muscles. Lol

      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.
