I haven't packed yet. Woke up today feeling that things just got real..and since I'm Clear liquids only today, I am hungry. The juice. Powerade and gatorade just are not helping. Going to be a long day I think.

Anyone that gets sleeved, update us when you can!

I don't get to try to drink anything until tomorrow. My mouth is soooo dry. It is gross. I have not had any trouble with nausea, but the pain (and not gas pain) is killing me. It feels like she manhandled my inners. It is starting to easy up now, but was pretty bad until about 11PM tonight. I have taken 3 nice walks. I feel pretty good walking, but getting in and out of bed hurts.

I hope everyone is doing well. And good luck to those who have surgery tomorrow (or by my clock, today).

I've had nausea since coming out of surgery, and dry heaving galore. Nurses let me have ice chips last night. Thankful for that.

Today feeling better...but my eyes just aren't able to focus on much.

How are today Bonbon?

How's everyone doing today? Pain is getting worse today, accompanied by nausea.

My sleeve was so swollen that I had to get a steroid shot in the tummy, and they also gave me couple IV shots of the rx ibuprofen. Brought that swelling down enough so I could drink and not wretch.

Getting released today, and can't wait to get to my own beds and to see my kids again.

      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.
