Tomorrow my band will come out and I'll get my sleeve! I feel like I could eat a horse right now. This no solids for 24 hours ain't no joke ????

I'm so afraid I'm going to be miserable next week only doing liquids...

I went from band to sleeve two weeks ago. Everything went fine. No problems at all. I felt the same way. I was worried because I had my band for 11 years. But it all worked out just fine. Just be sure to get up and walk as soon as possible. I wish you the best of luck and a quick and easy recovery.

Thank you...

Out of surgery.. I'm very sore where the port was. A little nauseated and sipping on water/ice chips hurts right between my breast.

Aah, yes you are going to feel a little sore and uncomfortable but the worst part is over. Your life has begun anew and so CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Try to be mobile: just a little escorted shuffle to the toilet is a good start. It really helps with the healing but take things at your own pace, there is no rush.

All the very best in your recovery and journey to the new you!!

I'm not hurting as bad as I was afraid of but it does hurt. The area where the port was is very painful.

      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.
