I yesterday was my big day! Over all it was good with a few pot holes in the road but I survived.l am just about packed up to head home. Drinking is pretty slow I've maybe got 5 ounces in so far. I'm sure each day will get easier. I've been walking like crazy so I'm not having slot of gas pain now. I look forward to try to sleep in my bed tonight.

Congrats on your big day.

You might prefer sleeping on a couch, on your back, for the first few days/weeks.

After I was sleeved (10/24) I had to sleep on the cough, on my back. I hate sleeping on my back, though.

Now, on the cough, I can sleep on my side, but ONLY on the cough, not on the bed.

Good luck!

I was sleeved on 11/5 all I kept thinking was darn this is not bad, until day two and the nausea set in. I'm better than I was so I won't complain

      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.
