I was sleeved on Wednesday, Nov 27th. I know it was the day before Thanksgiving but I feel as though it was my New Years! My wish is for everyone to feel as good as I feel. I have had very little pain. In fact, I can't even call it pain, I will call it some minor discomfort. I feel so thankful and blessed! I prepared for the worst, most afraid of not waking up after surgery, that I can not even believe how amazing I feel. I am getting my Water in and 3-8 oz Protein Shakes a day. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop...I hope I will be wrong about that too. I walked a little outside today, it's very cold and snowy and I am afraid of falling so I have been doing some laps around the house. I am down 41 lbs since May when I started the process. I hope everyday is going to be better than the previous one. :)

That's fantastic to hear. My surgery is in two days, and I am thinking the same way you did. I hope I have the same outcome as you thus far :) Congrats!

I HAD MY SURGERY ON THE 26TH AND I AM FEELING SORT OF OKAY. EVERY TIME I DRINK SOMETHING IT GOES DOWN OKAY BUT THEN IT STARTS TO HURT A LITTLE BIT AND IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO COME BACK UP, BUT IT DOESN'T. IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE FEELING OF HUNGER PAIN. HAS ANYONE FELT THIS?

I am 9 days out and feel TERRIFIC! I have never had nausea, minor pains at stitch sight, was able to walk a few hours after I got out of recovery, had the energy to host Thanksgiving, and now loving my sleeve.

Try not to worry about your surgery you have so much to look forward to.

      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.
