4 days post-op myself and you will have highs and lower moments but overall I would say it is the best decision I ever made. I am already off most of my meds and feeling soooo much better! Good luck on your journey!!

I had my sleeve and repair of hiatal hernia done yesterday. I had a rough night last night, (nausea & vomiting), but I'm feeling pretty good today. I can go home this afternoon if I can get down 64 ounces of Clear Liquids and keep it down. Yay!

Good luck to every one having their Sleeves done today and tomorrow!

You can do this! Sorry you had a rough way yesterday. That's a lot to have done in one setting. Hernia repair was very hard on my mom too. She had the bypass two yrs ago. Her hernia was so big tho, they had to do the wls for extra skin before too.

      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.
