Hey! Mine was the 9th too - I am feeling awesome' date=' I posted on page 16 bout it - super long, so I wont write it again lol. Recently I noticed yellow bruising on my incision sites, which means they are healing well, thank goodness! I know that the worst is over, and the best is coming. Pain is like a 2, but I tried driving and it wasnt too bad, defininitely doable! I am still on the full liquids for 1 more wk, but Ive been experimenting with small amts of rice, bread (HUGE mistake, dont eat bread so soon!!), and pudding, and so far so good! I know we will be alright jotate! How are you feeling? How is your pain level? Have you tried driving yet??[/quote']

I'm doing pretty good myself. My incisions look much smaller & the bruising is yellowing. I see my surgeon on Wed so I'm excited to see what he says about my progression. I think I've "cheated" a bit with food, though. I've had cream of wheat & mashed potatoes!! God they were delicious!! Lol I felt fine, though. I still need to be on liquids for one more week ????. No constipation- I'm actually really regular without taking Fiber. I've stopped taking my pain medicine, only a little of the nausea meds when I need them. I feel full of energy & find myself pacing a lot. Weird. I'd also say my pain level is 1-2....depends on the day. Keep me posted & keep up the good work....we'll get there soon ????

July 27th :). Band to sleeve revision. I am going to Mexico.

Would anyone consider doing a July Sleevers Facebook group? It would probably help to keep in touch with people who are sleeved around the same time.

Just search July Sleevers on FB and the group will pop up. Request admission! I'm leary to join a Facebook group that's visible b/c hardly anyone knows about my surgery yet. I will tell later, I'm sure, but I am just not ready to share it generally yet.

      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.
