Good luck and speedy recovery to everyone having their surgery!

I didn't drive for four weeks. I had a great recovery but didn't realise how exhausted I would be and only really started feeling more energetic on week six. Everyone is different though, so just see how you go and listen to your body and take heed to what it's telling you.

Clear liquids today. Darn it, I didn't search for iso-pure clear Protein drinks ahead of time! Neither my grocery store nor the pharmacy had them so I guess it's just tea and Water for me today. I don't want to have any sugar like Popsicles because it'll make me starving! it's always easier for me to fast then to do anything moderate. ha ha but ouch the detox headache is severe. Already packed so not much to do but lounge anyway.

Counting down the hours! By this time tomorrow I'll be recovering. Weeeeee!

Scheduled for 7:30am tomorrow. Excited yet anxious, also curious as to how things will go tomorrow. So ready to get my journey started.

My surgery is tomorrow too. Hoping I can sleep tonight. Last night I was up and down all night. Good luck to everyone else having their surgery tomorrow. :) Excited (and a bit anxious) to get to the next step.

Safe and sound at home. No complications or pain just couldn't sleep at the hospital from all that waking me up every two hours.

I had my surgery Monday. Came home today. Pain has been fine, except for a couple coughing fits that were quite painful. My doctors diet calls for Clear Liquids, specifically 50/50 Water and juice or Gatorade/Powerade. No nausea or problems getting the liquids down. I was afraid to start taking my regular meds when I got home, but my BP was creeping up. I had 3 to take so I spaced them out and so far no problem getting them down. Kind of tired, but I figure getting some calories in will probably help with that. Plan to try to start some supplements tomorrow. Hope everyone else that had surgery this week is doing well.

I am glad to hear you are not in pain! I am hoping to get the sleeve in december and it is great to hear about your experience. I will be looking forward to your posts and hope you have a speedy recovery! :-)

      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.
