I know lots of people in the Facebook group have too - some say gas-x strips work but for others it's just a matter of waiting it out :-/ I hope I don't have much gas pain.

Hello all April Sleevers, I had my sleeve done today, actually it was yesterday morning at 5:30am. Surgery went very well and I had a small hernia repair done as well which I didn't know I had. Surgery only lasted about an hour and since that time, I have walked the long hall 3 times and been sucking on ice chips the whole time. I thank God that I haven't had any issues. One piece of advice I would give would be to follow doctors orders as close as possible, suck on the ice chips, walk as much as possible and listen to your fellow sleevers who have had it done already. Good luck to everyone and if you have any questions I'm here. God Bless.

It's 3 am here in ca. I had my surgery yesterday, came home around 4 in the afternoon. Had gas pain making my shoulders prety painfull! I was allowed to start Protein and liquid straight away. By evening the gas pain was almost unnoticeable because of the heat pad I use! The medication for pain is starting to kick in I take it because it makes me sleep! Good luck to every one pre and post.

Mine is on April 25th. Im on Day 3 of the Protein Shake only pre-op diet, and I am so bitchy and hungry and hangry. The smell of food is making me insane.

BUT.

It will be worth it.

Hey Elle!! Yay to a surgery day buddy!!! Where are you from?

I am from Maryland. Started the pre-op diet today. Did pretty good and feeling motivated to get through this. How are things going for you? Do you have to do a pre-op diet? It is cool to have a surgery day buddy! I am new to posting to the website so still figuring things out here but I appreciate this community.

      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.
