Hey all. I am doing well. No nausea, no real pain. My abdomen is just VERY sore like I excercised too damn long. I just woke up from a great nap. I haven't slept that good in years. I feel awesome now. I walked a total of 1 mile today. I just went real slow. I have no trouble with keeping Water or broth down. So far so good, I'm only 2 days post op, so I will keep you guys posted.

@@BijouxBelles my only advice is to eat light the day before. You don't want to feel super hungry the next day. I kind of ate most of my favorite foods the last week as well.

My doc calls it the last supper. I did the same thing.

I was on stage II diet pre-op for one day, clears the day before and had surgery on May 19th. Surgery went well. I have an awesome doc! Home the next day. Off of pain meds except liquid Tylenol two days after surgery. I have had lots of gas pain, burps, and site discomfort, but considering my stomach was cut down to the size of an egg...amazing. I did great on the sugar free clears but REALLY tired. Crashed today. Feel amazingly better after a Stage II lunch and dinner. Less talking stomach, less pain, less gas. Crazy. I have lost 4.3 lbs since surgery 4 days ago. It does get better. Planning on going back to work on 6/2.

My surgery is May 27th. I am glad my doctor put me on a two-week pre op diet. I got the caffeine headache over with. I got the head hungry over with. It took me 4 days to detox from all the crappy food. The 5th day and on i have felt sooo much better. I am ready to rock the sleeve.

I am on the 9th day of the liquid diet, surgery on the 29th. I feel fine after the headaches and hunger went away. The first couple of days I lost 8 pounds from retained Water...after that it has been a half pound a day until the last couple of days where it seems to have stabilized. I am hoping the weight loss comes after the sleeve...My body is just too darned efficient! :)

I have not cheated at all either.

Hello,

We were sleeved 2 days ago on the 21st. Still on liquids but no hunger pains. We were able to start Protein today and that gave us quite a burst of energy. The pain is manageable and things seem to be going well. I'm 48 with a starting weight of 281. She's 45 with a starting weight of 251. We're both 3-5 pounds over the starting weight due to the fluids. Looking forward to next week when the pounds start coming off!

We are walking for about 10 minutes every 3-4 hours. Then we are resting. Make sure to keep up with your pain meds. It makes all the difference. How far out are you?

      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.
