This Friday will be my 4 week sleeve-aversary...Can it be that i actually feel normal? Every day has been something else, weather its being nauseous, leg pains, stomach pains, dizziness. Today I feel like my old self. It is like night and day between last week and this week.

Every new sleever should know that it does in fact get better!!!

technically speaking for insurance reasons, dr agarwala was my surgeon so I saw him more pre-op. though now I really only see dr corpi (the woman, I think she is internal medicine). I have no complaints except on the actual day of surgery no one came out and told my mom that I had been moved from recovery to a room. she literally waited three hours before she went off on a nurse and found out I had been moved. overall I would say I am very happy with their team. I wish they had support meetings on weekends though because I'm in school and work in the evenings and never have off to go to support group. how about you? you said you had a bad recovery?

Funny mostly preop I met with Dr Ahmad, now I mostly see either Corpi or Agarwala. Everyone seems to be pretty good. Although I called the nurse today, Annamarie? I think...and she never called me back.

I didn't really have a bad recovery. I would say it was generally pretty good. Rough couple of first days and then last week I had some really bad dizzy spells (which Dr Agarwala couldn't really explain) But now that I am on purees I am feeling really pretty good! :)

      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.
