A bit sore with gas but so glad to be home and have this journey finally started. These gas pains are not fun. Seem to be tolerating Water and shakes well. Gonna take my meds and go to sleep for awhile. Hope all is going well for all my surgery buddies!

Became the luckiest person ever and had my surgery moved up from Aug. 15 to this past Thurs, Aug. 4. Only one day of liquid pre-op diet vs. 2 weeks of it (but I did diet and lose 20 lbs over past two months). Surgery went exceptionally well, and went under at boo and was discharged same day right after 6 pm with little pain and no narcotic pain meds. I had three procedures done at the same time: lap-band removal, hiatal hernia repair, and sleeve. I'm on third day post-op and I can finally sleep comfortably on my side and feel hardly any soreness from incision sites. Challenge is getting required fluids (only getting 30-40 oz per day) and Protein (only getting around 30g per day). I've dropped 3 pounds so far and will probably lose more once the extra Fluid from surgery is gone. I'm so excited for the future and so far don't regret my sleeve at all!

Hello AUGUST SLEEVERS!!! Just sleeved on August 4th... Last Thursday ! Days 1 & 2 is no joke but everyday since is better and better. My biggest recommendation is to set and alarm and get up and walk every 2 hours....I did laps in my house ... This is to get rid of the gas they blow ya up with to do the surgery and it is your biggest culprit to feeling better quicker and eliminating pain! Take it from this old nurse ... this will be one of the biggest gifts you'll ever give yourself. 6th day and I feel great... Feel free to ask any questions and GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY JOURNEY!!!

Hi There,

I was sleeved on August 3rd 2016. I'm just over a week out, and I've lost 9lbs. The full liquid stage is going well, except I am getting really sick of Protein powder. It's trial and error as to how much you can add when you're not making a smoothie... I've ruined a few sugar free puddings and a Soup. :unsure:

      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.
