I'm still in the ER. Feeling better. They're trying to determine where my nausea is coming from. I believe it's my esophagus. I'll keep you guys updated.

Congrats on coming down 2 sizes!!!

Hi ladies! Got my sleeve yesterday! Doing pretty good. Minimal pain. Just tightness. And, some pain if I drink too fast. Trying to remember to sip, sip, sip! Hoping to go home today! :-)

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Got my surgery yesterday morning. Felt horrible for about 2 hours but when I got to my room and was able to walk I felt a lot better. I'm doing so well that if I can keep 4 8oz bottles of Water (sipping every hour of coarse) I can go home!!!! I'm so excited

Hi!! I'm currently in the ER everyone! I haven't been able to keep ANYTHING down these past two days. Not even a sip of hot tea. So' date=' my doc sent me here for IVs and meds. I felt much better after vomiting so many times (sorry...TMI) but I'd be on a road to dehydration if I didn't come. Pray for me!!!

8 days postop -- sleeved 8/12. 30 pounds down since 7/29.[/quote']

Keeping you in prayer! Hope today proves to be better for you.

      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.
