I've been here and there. I just got a bad sore throat after I got home and have been really tired and drained. I hope your surgery goes fantastic and you have a quick recovery, drowdie!

Walk, walk walk...yes, I have a sore throat too, may be from the general. My roommate in the hospital is not fairing well. She's in great pain. Andres says the only pain medication Dr Almanza uses is Tramadol. No morphine or Oxy. Shes not been up. I walked for 30 minutes. The day female nurse took a did

Ike to me, I think it's because I was very nervous and when she came in for the first time, to introduce herself, she said, as she was holding our paperwork, "are you here for the "sleeve?" I thought I was being funny when I replied," What? Oh, I thought I was here for a tonsillectomy?" I could tell immediately she thought I was being a smart pants. I apologized, but she has steered clear of me all shift.

I bet it was from the tube in my throat. I'm still on liquids right now. It was hard to really care about getting anything down the first several days. Now I try to get that Protein in because I know it will help with healing. How many are in the room with you?

Just myself and an woman from Nebraska.

Total sleeved today 16 people from all over America and Canada. Someday, like Lasix surgery the US market will drop the price. Well, then again, "if wishes were horses then beggars would ride."

      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.
