Yes what are the Facebook groups? That's exactly what I was looking for

There's:

November 2015 Women Sleevers

Gastric Sleeve and Bariatric Surgery Support Group

If you put in"gastric" "sleeve" or "sleevers" quite a few some up. :)

I had my surgery on 10/17 at 5pm......a 5hr delay from the original time of noon. I got so anxious during that 5hr wait that I'm still not sleeping well but I am one of the fortunate ones that really has had no problem with pain or gas. Right now though, the thought of trying to get some Protein powder in makes me sick to my stomach. Anything sweet sounds disgusting. Sure hope that continues as my downfall was sweets.Can't wait to get on the way to losing weight!!

I also had my sleeve done on the 16th. How are you feeling? How are you holding up with the gas pain?

Anyone having trouble breathing normally? i can breathe but it feels like I can't take full breaths. I've been researching any people are saying that doctors have told them it's the gas. :(

If you're having trouble with your shoulder it's definitely gas. It's such an annoyance! I've been lucky enough not to get shoulder pain.

I had mine on the 13th - so many questions! I'll be honest, I've been lurking about reading all the forums to find information the last few days.

Lovely little community :)

I had my surgery on the 11/11 and I'm feeling fine now. The anaesthesia and anti-nausea drugs had me completely loopy so it was difficult for me to stay awake in hospital.

I have so much heartburn and acid in my stomach it's crazy. Ive had to double my dosage of the anti-acid medication and that's still not doing it all.

I'm also finding that I can drink about 200ml every hour. It seems very high for what everyone else can do?

Mine is on Monday. I just joined...I didn't see a November 2015 support group. Where do you guys hangout on here?

There are a few on Facebook if you're interested in that medium.

Curvybritt I'm also drinking about that much - I was wondering if that was weird too. Any thoughts?

      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.
