Sooo excited! Did anyone have to drink magnesium citrate? OMG! You would think there wouldn't be anything to "clean" out after 10 days of liquids. I'm so ready to go sleep and wake up and get on the road. My prayers will be with everyone getting sleeved tomorrow. God bless!

Woohoo! I'm sleeved! Surgery went great. I've been up walking a ton, the air they put in to inflate the belly has caused me the most discomfort by far. Looking forward to getting all these wires unhooked from me. Hope everyone else is doing well.

I am sleeved! Surgery was 2 hrs because of a huge liver. No gas pain at all maybe because I ended up with a drain? I feel really...normal. I am pretty sleepy though....nap time

hi everyone! hope everyone is having a great time and recovering well! i am 7 days into my pre- op and i have lost 11 pounds. i am doing 3 shakes a day and 80+ ounces of clear fluids. i pee all day! its insane like i feel like im always running to the bathroom with the kiddos. I have 4 days til my surgery is anyone else experiencing irritability and crankiness? every soudn seems louder and smells seems more fragrant. i cook every night for the kids it is torture. last night they wanted to go to the movies so i took them and naturally i hold the youngest's popcorn bc she spills it everytime. the smell of popcorn was tempting me llol. I just learned i could season my broth with is nice but no salt. I am really anxious to just get the surgery oer with and start my healing. i feel like my body is going through such weird changes sometimes im freezing sometimes i feel like im in a suana. but usually always tired and low on patience haha.

good luck everyone!

How is everyone doing? I'm not doing so well at getting in my shakes or liquids. Every sip I take hits my stomach like a ton of bricks. I'm not in much pain, just sore from the air they filled my stomach up with. I'm hosting my daughters Easter egg hunt on Friday so I'm hoping and praying that I'll be feeling much better by then. No regrets so far, but I do look forward to getting to eat food again. I'm on liquids for the next 2 weeks. Anyone else come home with a drain???

Reporting in from the Marriott TJ Mex.

All went very well with surgery and the one other surgery scheduled with me could not have hers done as she didn't loose the req amount of weight!

Oopps accidentally pushed send...

I had a great experience at OCC and having the whole team wait on me hand and foot because I was the only patient was great!!

So I'm sipping and walking and have had no pain, just taking the meds prescribed and doing well.

Went out in the sun today to get a little more Vit D

Hope everyone else is doing well

Rhonda

      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.
