Just joined bariatricpal and my surgery is scheduled for November 6th. I would love a surgery buddy to bounce ideas off and share success/failures with. Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks!

Hi-

Just had my surgery on 11/7. The pain isn't bad for me. Lot's of problems with nausea the first couple of days. The toughest part is "liquid in means liquid out".

My name is Tammy

I also was sleeved the 6th. 4 days in the hospital. Hiccups, neausea and vomiting. I got out Mon night, today I had an over easy egg. I had a hard time. The surgeon came in while I was vomiting and said take your new stomach for a spin. Good times lol. I'm OK just slight dull achy pain Water no problem or yogurt, and pureed chicken for lunch. With an Isopure chaser.

I haven't even thought about food. I'm on Clear Liquids until I follo up with my surgeon 11/14. Then I graduate to full liquids for a week before getting to puréed. I am down 10 pounds as of this evening. No hunger- hard to get all the liquids in.

I was sleeved on 11/05. All went well here. Except for eating too fast sometimes, no vomiting. Just having some troubles getting all my fluids in. I try but I am short by the end of my day. Something to work on.

I'm glad you all ate doing good. I am better. Able to eat food and I've vomited twice and dumping syndrome isn't gun. Its hard getting fluids in. But it's nice I ate some steel last night. Brocoll is what makese vomit. And I love it.

      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.
