I was sleeved yesterday :). Yesterday was rough between coming out of anesthesia, nausea and pain. I'm doing much better today! Been up walking and finally keeping fluids down! Even tiny sips are tough, but I'm just taking it really slow to make sure they stay down and I get hydrated! It feels so good to get up and walk. The first time out of bed was tough, but after that it gets way easier!! My surgeon stopped by this morning and said I may be able to go home this afternoon. He and the nurses say I'm doing really well :). Well, I'm so happy to have this done and be on the road to recovery!!! I hope you're all doing well!! I'll update again later!

Awsome! So happy for you! The next 3 or 4 days will be rough due to gas and bloating -- walk walk walk, that's the BEST advise I can give you!! By day 4 you feel much better, by day 7 you feel amazing, 30 days out, you'll be a lot lighter and feeling great!! Hang in there, it gets amazingly better!! Good Luck! Remember.... walk walk walk!

Glad you are doing so well. Just remember, every day it will get a little easier. I was feeling like warmed over death for about 8 days, but was fine by day 10. Keep walking and drinking.

      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.
