I feel so much better. Thanks to everyone that supported me this weekend. I know I sounded like a Debbie Downer but I was in sooo much pain. I just didn't imagine the pain to feel that intense. I prayed last night and with patience. I woke feeling so much better. Thanks to everyone that understood and listen And gave advise. I love the forum.

I understand your pain! I was sleeved on the 20th. I wasn't expecting to be in so much pain. I've had a c-section and a hysterectomy, but the sleeve hurt the worse. When I awoke from surgery, they asked me my pain level and I replied 10! And then I was so nauseated, I couldn't tolerate liquids and had to stay an extra day in the hospital. It was rough. I'm on day 3 now and reading these boards helps me because I know I'm not alone

Me too! I also was sleeved 12/17/13. Went home next day. First 2 days were very rough, but now I'm much better. I don't take pain killers anymore. However, Gas pain in my chest and left shoulder is still bothers me a lot. Also, I can't sleep at night. I have no problems falling asleep but after 2 hrs wake up and can't go back to sleep for 2-3 hrs. I'm still experiencing some discomfort at incisional sides, but it's not real pain. Last I was able to sleep on my side. I realized that if I put a pillow between my knees it release some pressure form abdominal wall. It's so much better compairing to first few days after the surgery!!!!!

      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.
