I was sleeved on the 11th' date=' I know this is going to be one of the best things that I have ever done for myself but d@m, it was definitely no walk in the park! I came home yesterday afternoon and the pain was terrible, thank God for pain meds, my husband, and knowing that I needed to get up and walk. Thanks to all of the valuable information that I have read in the forums on this site I knew pretty much what to expect and what to do, if I hadn't learned all that I've learned here I would have probably lost it yesterday. Today I am better, still have some pain but I am able to walk 'laps' in the house(slowly), sipping my Water with Protein Powder in it, and I had a little creamed and thinned Soup (a very little!). Looking forward to the future...the way I see it isn't "no pain no gain"...it's 'NO PAIN NO LOSS'!!! Good luck everyone[/quote']

I also was sleeved on the 11th. Yesterday afternoon was my up day. Today not so much. Although I was given cream of wheat at Breakfast this morning and what I did have sat well!! Lets hope these gas pains go away ASAP!!

Hi sleeve buddies, I just got back to the Marriott after my surgery. Here is my story, hope it helps anyone with the jitters! My surgery was 9/11 with Dr Ponce and it didn't start until 5:30pm. I was a little nervous waiting, but I walked around and found lots of friendly people in different stages of recovery. My surgery lasted longer than planned because they found and repaired a hiatal hernia.

The first 24 hours are the worst. Everyone is different as to what discomforts they have, but it seems pretty universal that you feel awful, but pain meds and nausea meds are given regularly so that does help get you through. The second day is like night and day, I showered in the morning and put my own nightgown on, then walked and felt better and better through the day. I still got the regular medicine through the day, and an extra pain booster at night. The second night I could lay on my side which really helped. I had asked them to put off the leak test for a day because even sucking on ice chips made my stomach cramp up the first day. I had the test this morning and it was no problem at all. Now, 48 hors after surgery I am sipping my chicken broth at the hotel and feel about 75% of normal.

The whole experience at the Marriott and the Hospital MI Doctor has been better than expected. Let me know if you want to ask about anything!

So glad to hear you are mending well. I arrive tomorrow evening at the Marriott and if you are up for it, it would be nice to meet you. Who did your surgery? Dr. Ortiz is performing mine at the Hospital Mi Doctor. I'm nervous but excited.

      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.
