Good luck and I hope and pray for a speedy recovery! I know immediately after post-op that initial week or two are the hardest, but it's almost all down hill coasting with an occasional bump or two. You're going to love your sleeve girl!

Thanks everyone so i'm finally at home, such a great feeling to be back =) i am feeling pretty good i would say the pain i feel is mostly sore from the work done in my tummy and a little bit of chest pain but its because of gas. I had a little bit of a fever so they wouldn't let me go until today and until i could drink 2 shakes and Water at the hospital i barely have my voice, but i am moving around much better on my own =)

      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.
