It's so surreal. I checked in this morning at 9:15 and had surgery at 11:15. Came out of surgery in a lot of pain and nauseated. Once I got hooked up to the pain pump and got a dose of zofran I felt really good except I have been so very tired from the anesthesia. I am up and walking with almost no pain. My doctor allows ice chips thankfully because my mouth is really dry. Tomorrow morning I have another leak test (he does one in the OR) and then on clear liquids. Hopefully all goes well because I really want to go home! Once home I'm allowed to start on full liquids.

I hope everyone else's surgery's went well today! This is my first time on because I've been so tired and my eyes would not cooperate. Good luck to all those waiting!!

Yay, congrats. I came across an old post of yours earlier today about the pre-op diet and saw your surgery was today and wondered how it went. (It's easy to remember you with that Houston logo. I'm a Colts fan so I'm used to seeing us beat you.) Glad you checked in and are doing well.

Thanks everybody!! I had my leak test this morning and everything looks good. They now have started me on Clear Liquids. So far all is good. They took out my catheter but I'm still getting fluids thru iv cause I'm a little dehydrated. Hopefully I can pee later cause I really want to go home to my babies!!! Will update later! Take care all!!

Just had my sleeve done Monday to feeling great just confused on how to eat any recommendations new at all this just joined

It is confusing right now. I try to make sure I get my Water and Protein Shakes and whatever else I feel like I can get down (I'm on full liquids so cream of whatever with skim milk, greek yogurt with skim milk, cream of wheat with skim milk, sf Jello, pudding, Popsicle). It's really hard tho because while I'm hungry (or feel hungry) I don't want to eat. Can't wait to get past all the initial food stages. GL!

      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.
