Good luck everyone! Anyone else not sleep last night? I didn't. I was like a kid waiting for Santa to come lol. My surgery isn't til 1030a today so needless to say I'm a ball of nerves and excitement. I've been awake and out of bed since 430a reminding myself not to eat or drink anything. Well not eating is fine now but it's the no drinking that I have to remember. I can't wait to hear from everyone to see how everything went. I'll be sure to share just as soon as I can too. For now, I'll continue my countdown. Lol

Hello 12/29 sleepers. How is everyone doing? I Got out of surgery 3pm. My surgeon found a hiatal hernia and repaired it while doing my sleeve. Had some nausea and dry heaves right after, but gone now. Waiting to have sleeve leak test this morning and if all goes well, be discharged today. Am walking, and sip, sip, siping and happy to be on the losers bench at last.

All done! I went into surfer at 2:30, but didn't wake up fully and get to my room until almost 7pm. The pain was crazy! But once the meds started to kick in, I was all good! I've been nauseous only while standing and then it goes away. I've been walking with all these lines everywhere and using my lung breather machine. Sipping on cranberry juice (diet) it tastes the best and I hated cranberry juice before. My tummy is a little sore but manageable.. And to think I was soo afraid of this part. Everything's going swell. But the person in the room down the hall doesn't seem to be having the best time ????. Sadly I hear them throwing up , heaving and crying. So sad. I'll be praying for them just like soo many prayed for me.

In the meantime ladies and gents, make sure you sip it makes you feel better and walking is awesome, it helps gets some air moving and makes you feel better and use your breathing thingy.

Hopefully I'll go home later today.. But question ... Is anyone getting discharged without a leak test?? That's freaking me out. Dr said I don't need one... Hmmm

Anyway good luck all! Be blessed!

      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.
