Surgery went great. Resting off an on and getting ready to be discharged. Not as bad as I thought. Feel like someone is sitting on my tummy and I'm tired but other than that I feel pretty normal :)

Oh wow, you're getting discharged same day? I'm going in tomorrow morning for my procedure and my surgeon's policy is 2 nights in hospital for the sleeve. So funny how different all the surgeons out there are!

...and happy to hear things went well!

Yes released at about 4pm yesterday. Stayed in a nearby hotel where a nurse came by to check on me. Went back to doctors office this morning and had drain removed and man does that make you feel better. Now on the way home! Follow up in 3 months!!!

      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.
