How did your surgery go? I'm scheduled for the 28th.

It went perfect, I was up and walking with out any help The one thing that amazed me was I wasnt in near as much pain as I thought I would be I know I had the pump and I did use it but I still thought it would be more painful. While in hospital i didnt eat or drink hardly anything at all. been home 4 days now still not where i need to be as liquids go but I will get there, ive noticed i seem to be increasing by about 8 oz a day so today im shooting for 48 oz i get all my Protein within my first 32 oz to make sure i get it all in. I get my tube out on Tuesday and by the way you will or at least I did gain weight due to all the fluids they pump in you I gained 11 pounds while there. ..Good Luck To You!!

I had my sleeve Sept 16! Recovery is going better then I even imagined! I previously had the lap band placed January 2009 & had to have removed May 2013 due to slippage. The sleeve has been ten times easier surgery/recovery then my band. My surgery was also more invasive due to had to remove scar tissue that was caused from band placement/slippage/removal.

I was sleeved on the 10th.... And have been off pain meds for a week... No nausea at all... And my stomach is just about healed. Still on liquids for another day... Then I start puréed on Tuesday... Before I had the surgery I was all worked up and nervous but now that it's said and done I know it was not bad at all. Try and get some anti nausea meds from the doctor to take before and after surgery it helps. The worst part of the entire thing was the pre op diet for 2 days before... You have to drink plenty of Clear Liquids in order to feel full. Good luck to everyone on this journey you can do it!

      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.
