I don't see it as bragging!! I love to hear this because that it isn't always bad. I still need one more thing off my list before I'm approved. So I'm glad to hear this. I hope I'm as lucky as you all.

My husband and I had no issues. I'm 9 weeks post op and ice only once gotten too too full. Nothing bothers my sleeve. Or nothing that I've fed it anyway, which has been all Protein.

Really many of us felt almost nothing except a little tired.

I had a good recovery. No gas problem. Pain from incision site but that healed. 5 months out and 96 off. Glad I did it.

My surgery went smoothly & I felt great! Went in at 6am & came home around 12:30pm, I was an outpatient. Never had any issues with nausea, vomiting or gas.......I was pleasantly surprised!

My surgery went much the same way. My only issue was tht I had a slow heart beat in recovery and spet the first night in cardiac ICU. After that it was a breeze. I had such and easy time drinking fluids I was chugging over 80 oz of Water and my Protein Shakes and actually felt hunger (for me it is a steady ache right at my belly area - I thought it was excess acid and asked to up my dose of Omoprezole but they told me it was hunger. Nice that I got to keep THAT) i accelerated my programs plan and again: NO PROBLEMS. No pain no leaks no dizziness no vomiting no excessive pain no fatigue no nothing. I have lost slower due to moving food stages so quickly (I was told AFTER the fact that my program's lengthy liquid stage is for speedy weight loss in the beginning as much as extra caution) but I have been fine!

I did expel a stitch from one of my incisions. Doc said normal...some people's bodies reject the stitches. It was only on and may not have been tacked right so it was easy to expel. It wasn't from my tummy but from the incision where they ganked my stomach out.

      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.
