Had my sleeve on the 23rd, spent that night in the hospital while they figured out my nausea meds (it was a looooong night). Felt great Thursday so they let me come home. Slept a ton Thursday night and Friday. Having a hard time taking nausea meds or pain meds as both make me very nauseous. Woke up at 9 today and couldn't possibly sleep anymore. So I did some dishes and some vacuuming and made up my bed. I can't bend over so I'm limited it what I can do but I'm feeling better :-) I go back to work on Monday so today and tomorrow are my getting back into it days.

Also struggling with fluids. Drinking Water and broth and mixing unflavored Protein with lemon water. I feel like I'm not even getting close to the amount of liquids I need.

How's everyone else doing?

I came home yesterday. today is my full day home. I feel really gassy but I'm trying to keep moving too. I am having a hard time with fluids. Water and even Decaf tea taste weird. I'm doing ok with crystal light for now. Just don't think I'm drinking enough yet.

Had my sleeve done on4/23 and was releases the following day. Day 2 was the hardest for me thus far. I was having trouble with liquids but as of today I'm doing much better. Protein is a joke right now. I can't stomach the clear protein (isopure) I find it disgusting! Luckily my doctor told me protein is hard the first few weeks for some and to just focus on sipping to stay hydrated. Today has been pretty good pain wise but it was also on today that I started to get hungry. Tomorrow I'll be able to have full liquids and I'm so looking forward to that. I'm dying for some yogurt I have to check my list again to make sure that I can have yogurt but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

      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.
