Strange, but doesn't even feel like I had surgery. I'm finding myself wanting to check for wounds. No gas soreness, just thing ... Iveb had goal surger and gyno sugery. Gett sleeved wasn't anything like those.

I feel the same way. Barely any pain, just soreness like I did a lot of crunches. My incisions have no pain and if it wasn't for seeing them, I wouldn't know they are there.

Luckily, I watched my swallow test on the screen so I know I was really sleeved and I can feel my restriction.

Today is day 3, I am going to get my nails done, I had to take my gel polish off for surgery, and walk around the mall.

I have a lot of energy but being cold all the time is getting annoying.

Sounds like everyone is doing well. I'm on day 13 of my 14 day pre-op liver reduction diet and almost had a meal yesterday. Thanks to this blog and everyone's support I held strong and stuck to the plan. I have to be at the hospital at 0530 Monday and I am so ready to be on the other side of this surgery. I'm not nervous just excited to begin the next phase of this journey and so thankful for Bariatricpal and the wisdom of those who have already done this.

July 13th. Starting pre-op diet tomorrow, 1k cals or less and dont eat like an idiot. low-fat, low-carb high Protein foods.

Can't wait to shed the fat suit, good luck all.

Had surgery on Monday the 13th and left the hospital the next day. Five incisions plus drain site for six total. My largest incision is next to my belly button, while the incision itself is only about 1.5 inches the abdominal muscle wall cut is about 4.5 inches long, that goes right to left. All the other sites feel fine and are just sore, however the large site and large cut in muscle hurts like hell. I can hardly stand, sit, cough or sneeze without major pain, also when standing this site has a large indentation from where the muscle should be, but its not, yet. This site and muscle below is spread for stomach removal and other things during surgery, and had the most manipulation. I have used an ace bandage for support of this area which has also helped. I have called my surgeon and was prescribed a muscle relaxer that has helped a lot. This is normal for the technique of my surgeon, which may be different for many of you. Everyday it gets a little better, I would like to know if anyone else has had the issues I have outlined above. I wish you all the best of luck and quick healing.

      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.
