Hey everyone! Just a little update, I had my hiatal hernia repair and gastric sleeve Tuesday and was in the hospital one night. Everything went very smoothly aside from the fact that we had tornado weather and we had to be moved into the hall lol. I am extremely sore on my left side but they were able to remove my drain and I passed the swallow test. Since I am able to tolerate Water and Protein I was released and I am now home. Just wanted to say thank you for all of the kind words, prayers and messages. You are all a great bunch of people!

Hello B_D ... I too had the sleeve and a hiatal hernia repair (didn't know I had. Hernia) on Tuesday! I was discharged yesterday as well. I have no pain at all except my throat is a little sore from the tube I guess. But overall, I feel great. Oh and I didn't have a drain. Good luck on your recovery!

      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.
