I felt a little sore but not really that bad. I slept a lot the first night. I think the worst part for me was how dry my mouth was. My tongue felt like a piece of sandpaper in my mouth...LOL. I just kept sipping on Water ,eating ice cubes, a little mouth spray and a few bites of Jello seem to help. Everyday gets so much better I am about 4 days out now. I even went out shopping today To the GNC store ....I smelled lots of good smelling food out there but all I could do was keep thinking about how great I am going to feel at my daughters wedding June 3 in Maui! And how good it feels knowing that my clothes are going to get loser instead of tighter!!!! This operation is giving me a chance of a life I have always dreamed of...NO more Lane Bryant!!!!... Good luck to you Cupcake

I had my sleeve with Dr. Jacobs also, he is amazing!!! I really did not any any pain whatsoever only mild gas discomfort after surgery, when I woke up the following day I didn't feel any type of discomfort. Great experience. Good luck on your journey!

      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.
