well today's the day I'm going in at 1030 this morning my surgery is scheduled for noon. feeling nervous but determined. thank you for all your wonderful support. I like with the one who said that we will save our life with the most complex surgery if we are in a life threatening condition. as I see it, I am in a life-threatening condition if I continue to be obese. no matter what happens I know that at least I tried to save my own life.

love and prayers.

I am sleeved!! I'm 3 days out and I feel like I have a fever. I check my temperature like every second and its below 100. Anyone have this issue?

Had the same issue and even almost 2 weeks post op still running 99 to 99.9 but feel ok. Surgeon said and my pcp said this can be normal for some. But if worried give your surgeon a call!

I was sleeved 8/6 and try to eat regular food per my doc' date=' and after 2 oz of Protein my head hurts and face gets hot, and chest gas pain, so odd.[/quote']

I get hot/flushed and sweaty when I eat too fast or too much- so I can kind of relate!

I was sleeved 8/5 and really haven't lost anything since the 1st week being home. I'm down 17 pds and haven't lost anything .

Don't stress....had a similar 10 day period. Keep your Protein and Water up and stay off the scale for a bit. Mine was a combination of my body "holding" onto water and calories. In addition a little pre-menstrual bloating. I plowed through (and got off the scale) and a week later....5 lbs down :). Remember to keep track of non scale victories, loser clothing (and shoes - go figure). In a couple of weeks you will be starting to settle into your life change and love the results!

I'm having a down moment. Was doing really well and had lost 20lbs post- op. Now, all of sudden I'm gaining and my stomach looks bigger! My diet hasn't changed. Still in the first 3 weeks liquid diet and have even managed to start walking regularly so what's going on? I got my period 2 weeks early just 48 hrs after surgery so wondering if maybe my body is gearing up for another even though it shouldn't be. Any thoughts?

Also, anyone had 'slough' on any of their incisions? My surgeon put pressure dressing on after surgery and the bloody nurse on the ward removed it just before I was discharged. Surgeon wasn't happy when he found out and had problems with one side of the incision healing from that point forward. Going back to him tomorrow. Why do people have to interfere!

      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.
