Hi... I had my sleeve a week ago Yesterday. There was some discomfort the first day but was well managed by the nurses. My Dr was great about it. Some nausea the first few days which bothered me more than the discomfort I was in. You will do fine. If you trust your Dr just know that he will take care of any pain you might have. Tell him your fears, he has had a lot of patients who have been in your shoes and will do what he can to alleviate your fears. We are all here to help so just vent to us too. :))

I'm home now and doing great, I'm in mild discomfort but nothing I can't handle. The gas pain has been the only issue for me!! Can't wait to start my new life

I had mine a week ago yesterday too. I'm a pain weenie but this was no problem. My arms hurt from being stretched out and getting up from prone caused a little blip of pain in the incisions but nothing terrible. I never felt worse than a five.

That said, I am totally exhausted, I mean wiped out. The level of fatigue has taken me by surprise. I guess I ain't no spring chicken anymore. Blast me.

      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.
