Sorry for late reply. Had surgery 1/13/14 Monday. Was drowsy and Painfree all day. Slept day away.

Yesterday - was horrible. Felt like death. Iv infiltrated. Was dehydrated and became a hard stick. Didn't have iv for hours. No meds! No Pain or nausea meds. Was vomiting bile and mucous continuously. Also hurt abdomen by vomiting. Couldn't keep down ice chips. Finally got 2 ivs by anesthesiologist after several ppl tried - got scopolamine patch and Toradol and zofran etc, felt like 200% better 2 hours later. Had visitors and was even walking by evening. Even could handle ice chips! Totally an isolated incident.

Today cream of wheat and juice. Burping a lot. Probably full after a few spoon Fulls? Have a headache though. Hopefully discharged later. :-)

I made it though! When the surgeon gets here today, I should be released. The nausea yesterday was pretty bad, but much better today.

Glad to see you others made it!

Hi guys...Monday was filled with ups and downs. Came out of surgery in a lot of pain from gas that pain meds couldn't do anything about. Slept then i got gas medicine then I felt better but then the nausea took over like crazy. I was so nauseated I couldn't even speak. Next day felt much better walked around and then I got discharged. At home pain was worst from incisions but now I'm doing better.. Thank God for forts that's all I can say for now. I know that TMI but for future sleevers that's the best advice ever. I hope everyone is doing well and hanging in there...Later

Second day home here....doing well getting in liquids. Everything has that metallic taste from the anesthesia. Hopefully that will be gone soon.

I had some nausea in the hospital too...but just dry heaves. The medicine to help that knocked me out big time.

My whole body aches all over today, but the abdoment doesn't hurt a bit...strange. I'm sure with each passing day we will all feel a lot better.

      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.
