Yay! I'm doing well. Home now. Surgery was on Monday. Came home Thursday. I need to stay on top of the pain meds AND try to kick this cold. Been doing liquids mostly, though I've got a freezer stocked with purees. NEXT WEEK!!!

It's been four days since my surgery. I have been home since Thursday. Today was the only day I woke up in a little bit of pain but not much. It has been harder than I thought it would be to take in the required liquids and such, but I'm doing it. Kinda get this reflux thing when my new stomach is empty and its hungry. Lol It like the plant from Little Shop of Horrors; "Feed me Seymour"! I hope everyone is doing well.

Did your doctor prescribe you any sort of reflux medicine? If not, you might want to call them. I like it! Your sleeve is officially the Audrey 2!

No he didn't. It's not terribly bad. If it persists I will ask him at my follow up appointment next week. It really only happens when "Audrey" is hungry lol

How are February 1st folks doing?

I can't believe it is now Feb 28th. =) Somehow the past week my little aches and pains have been so minimal it's been wonderful! I had a concern last week as well, we did another leak test in my Dr.s office and i was fine. Might have been a pulled muscle. All the odd things I've felt have been interesting.

I developed a canker sore on the inside of my jaw, my dentist seems to think it may have been an abrasion from inutbation, that I just didn't notice until now. I was not exactly regular with the dental hygiene most nights as I wasn't eating and I only swished. Bad, Bad, me. Anyone else get a sore from intubation? So that's about it.

I graduated to soft foods and find those new sensations interesting. I too had "hunger" sensations about a week after surgery, mostly when I drank Water.

How's it going? How are you eating? What sensations are you experiencing? (Sorry I'm a long talker)

Hey my fellow Feb 1 sister!!! Glad you're doing well!!! My whole throat was messed up from intubation. I think my anesthesiologist scraped it by mistake - it hurt more than anything, even the incisions.

I've progressed to soft foods so I'm mainly eating Soups, Greek yogurt, eggs, fish, Popsicles and Protein Shakes. I'm allowed other things but I like to keep it simple. What about you? Come back to our feb 1 thread! We miss you! :)

      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.
