So here is my question I got my sleeve on the 23, I didn't go home till the 26.... My first day was great but my 2nd day SUCKED.... I couldn't keep anything down, my gas pains got the best of me and I sleepy most the day .... Since I have gotten home I haven't eaten much I get Soup and try to drink it and maybe 4-5 spoons into it I have pain in my lower left abd area and I'm done.... I know I was struggling with my Water post surgery, and still am.... Any ideas on what I might have going on?

I was sleeved 10/21, I have had a weird lower abdomen pain but noticed that with increased hydration it is not as bad. If you are having trouble with plain Water, don't drink it plain. Add Crytal light, Mio, lemon juice anything to change the density and it will help it stick. Good luck!

Thanks I am going to try that.... I just keep reading about leak test ... And unless they did that while I was still under, I don't remember having one... And it just worries me with all the vomiting I did that 2nd day I might have messed something up

Monitor you intake and output, and bowel movements. You will def know if you were leaking.

      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.
