I had my sleeve done yesterday. There's quite a bit of upper left sided pain when first waking up and going to the restroom. Lots of gas trapped in the back and under the ribs. Pain does get better as the day goes on. Welp heres to the start of my new body!

Congratulations!!! I have 19 more days!! Keep us posted on your recovery!!

@ BunnBunn first of all you have to give it some time, you body has to adjust to a lower calorie diet . It takes 3 to 5 days for that. Secondly you NEED to drink lots and LOTS of clear Water in addition. I drink about 1.5 to 2 litre a day just water besides the liquid Protein Shakes.< /p>

Today is day 1 of the preop. I just has my first shake. My worry is how will this work with me working in the field. I will be stopping on a regular to peepee (sorry y'all). I am nervous, but I know I can do this. We can do it.

I had my sleeve done on Tuesday. I lost 20 lbs. on the two week diet, before hand. Recovery isn't too bad. I only had nausea when they gave me the disgusting stuff to drink to check for leaks. I came home the next day. They had an onQ hooked up in my belly for pain. That was a new one on me. It helped the pain quite a bit for the incisions. I took it out last night and the pain is very tolerable. My big kicker is that they gave me nausea meds, that give you a headache and pain meds that you have to take with food and make you nauseous. duhhh. Needless to say no pain meds or nausea medication. I have had a whopping headache for the past 3 days. But I crushed up some Tylenol with Water and that has helped. So My stats so far are SW 277. Surgery weight 257 this morning 253. I was expecting it to be higher due to the swelling. So I am pleased. I'm hanging on to this bull and riding it for all it's worth.

Day 2 post op... still a lot of gas and a little nausea. Pain has subsided some but still uncomfortable when laying down or trying to get up out of chairs. On phase 2 full liquids but I been doing mostly clears and sipping on a Protein Shake throughout the day.

      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.
