Yah! Push the pain pump button IF you need it. We will never judge. ;) I'm 3 weeks out and lost 24lbs. After the 1st week I missed chewing and swallowing. But after the 2nd week I could have baby foods and that made me happy. Now this week it's Fork soft foods. I have no regrets. I just have to remember to sip ALL THE TIME and walk. You're on your way. Yah!!!!!

Thanks guys I'm feeling so much better than I expected. My chest and stomach feels sore but thats really where my pain is and getting up and down. i do have this small tube coming out of one incision that is like a pain ball I don't have to press it because its constant. But that is annoying. Doesn't really hurt and I know it's there to help but I don't really like having something hanging out of my tummy lol I just got home so I'm just trying to relax

That darn thing was my worst part too after surgery, and I had to keep it for 10 days, went home with it! Felt soooooo much better when doc took it out, I am 5 weeks out now, and doing pretty well. Just trying to get my head in line with my new little pouch. :rolleyes:

I was sleeved on the 11 of this month the only pain that I have had is in my wounds, no gas pain , I can drink up to 6 oz no problem. I'm on full liquids which I feel more satisfied the first 3 days I was so hungry , couldn't drink the Isopure liquid it was nasty , I'm drinking the premier chocolate Protein not so good but I have to ,

Waiting for my Unjury chocolate splendor and. The unflavored one hopefully taste better , the problem that I have is that I hate artificial sweeteners ,

But so far I'm happy I was expecting to be worse but thanks God not bad at all only when I caugh .

I was sleeved at kaiser with dr Casillas it was a good experience no. Regrets till now.

      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.
