I am waiting to get discharged now. Got sleeved first thing Tuesday morning. Had some pain but nothing too terrible. I might have used the pain pump 5 times.

The worst part for me was that I couldn't pee after surgery and they had to drain my bladder with a straight catheter. Ouch! Ever since then I have been a peeing machine.

I could handle Water but not the hospital food. The kept bringing in Protein Jello. I ate one. I've never had jello before. I won't ever again.

I'm looking forward to get home to a shake.

Good luck to everyone!

Yay! I'm July 29th. (Florida). Also nervous! Especially reading some of these July posts from the people that had it done earlier this month. Some doing great- some with some issues. Let's hope for great :) have my preop with pcp Monday, Tuesday with surgeon. Also have to sneak in a chest X-ray and EKG, blood work. It's coming up quick ! Next week I'll be busy ! And probably drinking liquids only :0 when do you start liquids?

I'm going to order some now. Is it powder you put in broth? Is there a special way to mix it?

You can use Water or broth, I prefer it with broth.

      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.
