Husband got tickets to the Mariners game tonight. I said I'd go. And now it's 7:00 and he just left without me because my f'ing stomach is nauseous and I feel crappy and I'd rather not risk bowel excitement at a baseball game with all his new coworkers.

I have had no social life this summer, I miss doing fun things (hell, anything!) with my husband and we're leaving in 2 weeks for long-planned 2 weeks in France. I'm afraid I'm going to ruin the trip because I can't eat, can't drink and can't seem to stay feeling good for more than a few hours at a time.

I am really really hating my sleeve right now. I know I know this too shall pass but I'm so miserable and pissed off and tired of staying home and ruining any occasion to do something interesting.

That's my rant. Gonna go take some more anti-nausea meds and see if they'll knock me out.

Life will be SO different in 2 weeks though. I've recovered from illnesses before. But this sleeve recovery is something all together different. Recovery is exponential, not linear, day by day. Two weeks in France in two weeks will be a delight. Sorry about the missed game :(

Just looked at your profile - Week 4 and such great results!! I have to say, it does get easier. Week 7 vs. Week 4 - there is a world of difference.

Gamergirl is right on point - take it day by day. Your trip to France will be enjoyable and you will have so much more energy then.

Best of luck on your trip!

Thanks ladies. I've got my pouty face on tonight. Probably just as well I'm home alone AGAIN.

And from your lips to my sleeve: it better get exponentially better or I'll stamp my feet and really rant and rave come Sept. 7!

If it's any consolation, the Mariners are losing right now 2 to 0. You'll feel better and will soon be able to go and do a lot of things.

      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.
