I am home after having sleeve on Wednesday, after being stuck in the bed all day I asked the nite RN to take off my machines for awhile and let me go walking, it made her laugh when I took off down the hallway across the hospital in my town and boxer briefs, also asked my DR. To let me come home yesterday since I was off all my machines and ready to start doing for myself, my wife has been a wonderful motherhennish type of girl, don't get me wrong the pain is there but a lot better than at the hospital, and I slept all nite here, I still have yet to experience the "buyer's remorse" maybe cause I psyched myself up too much, I can't wait to see what tomorrow holds for me, this is very exciting, and I can't wait to put everything I've learned into practice, to all potential future bariatric surgery peeps, the answer is YES! I would do it again in a second !!

Oooohh beware the buyer's remorse. Im not in for my op until august, and i am paying privately also , so i hope i dont get the buyer's remorse. Lol. I think im going to prepare myself for that by writing myself a letter, to myself before surgery explaining why i am doing this and how its going to change my life for the better. And on that day when or if it ever comes, i am doubting myself if i made the wrong descsion and have blown all that money for nothing. I will open my letter to remind me of why this is so important to me and motivate me to make the most out of this amazing opportunity to a happier and healthier 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.
