Good luck. It's not bad at all. I've lost 45 lbs since my sleeve July 18. About 1 lb a day. And I can't exercise a lot right now cause I need to drop some more weight. Don't need a fracture. Get rid of the butterfly's in you tummy cause it's gonna be the best thing you've ever done for your self. Good luck! Dabberdoo (Debra)

The anesthesia isnt bad. They put a liquid in your Iv and.... hello 4 hrs later :) in previous surgerys I could smell and tast the anesthesia. But not this time :)

The whole experience so far has been great not much gas pain, walkings petty easy, ive just started drinking apple juice and its going good as long as I take small sips lol to big of one and it feels like my chest will explode :( have to say though that leak test was horable its tastes awful, and you have to take a couple big swallows... I stated to dry heave. Not a fun experience

Congrats Megan!! We have the same SleeveDay! I am 2 days out just like you. I came home from the hospital last night. My biggest challenges have been the gas pains I have been having. I walk and walk and walk, I put pressure on my belly with a pillow, I take deep breathes but nothing seems to want to make the gas move. Good luck with your recovery!!!!

      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.
