@Catmom8....hey how r u, I got sleeved on da 4th....basically I just had lots of soreness & lots of gas....I did lots of walking & that pretty much relieved the gas, u really won't have the urge 2 eat but you'll have 2 make yourself eat. I'm soooo happy that I decided 2 do this I've lost 22lbs already plus I'm still walking....gud luck on your surgery & have a speedy recovery!

Hi all! It's been about 8 hours since surgery and I'm feeling great. I highly recommend taking advantage of any pain meds they offer in the hospital, because what I assumed was gas pain responded to thwm. I've been up walking and using the restroom and I should be going home tomorrow. Yay!

Mine is Thursday as well. Not afraid, but definitely nervous. I am flying down to Tijuana for it. Hubby is coming, too. Feeling sick right now from the laxative (never had one before). Getting used to liquid diet. Fortunately, I have some yummy homemade turkey stock I put in the freezer from Thanksgiving (hee, hee, gave the boxed stuff to the family for the gravy and dressing...they never knew).

Best of luck to you mo oneal and anyone else who is getting sleeved on Thursday! We are Sleeve Bro's and Sista's! Check back in to let us all know how you are doing!!!

Thinking of you Helen in UK. Hoping you are enjoying food while you can! Have some chicken pad thai for me....I am craving it!!! Hugs to all! :)

Well it went! They were 1.5 hours late taking me back. It actually helped me to calm down and take it all in. I hate shots and I was the most upset about getting a blood thinning shot into my belly!!

Seeing the operating room was pretty cool. Reminded me of the show my 600pound life. I fell asleep real quick.

Coming out of surgery, the nausea and gas pains are real. Take the pain meds and try to rest. They take your vitals like every 2 hours so not an easy task, but yeah. I took a couple walking stints to try to help relieve it, but the meds worked better.

I can drink Water pretty easily!! That's what I was most nervous about!!

All in all, not too bad. Except for being up at 430am lol

      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.
