Well I'm on the sleeved side now!!!!! All went well! I've been in ICU now for the last 9 hours and it's the first time I've been awake for longer than 5 minutes and not in pain anymore! Really struggled with the gas pain! My stomach and incisions feel fine, infact I'm not sore at all....just the blooming dreadful gas pain! On morphine at the moment and feeling pretty good, propt up in bed watching tv! Can't wait for my surgeon to come tmr morning so I can have a drink!!! My mouth and throat are so dry!!! My surgeon doesn't allow anything for 24hrs afterwards!

YEA! So happy for you and all the 1st sleevers it truly helps the rest of us not far behind you as mine is the 10th speedy recovery to all

Well I'm on free fluids today! And they gave me custard first up! Have only managed to get down a teaspoon of it so far! Is anyone else struggling to get things down also?? I think I'm more scared than anything as I don't want to vomit!

I ate sugar free Popsicles, 2 tbsp of low sodium v8, and 2tsp of Jello so far. Sipping on Water all day and walking to rid of this gas pain.

      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.
