To all of the September Sleevers! Just wanted to let you all know I had my Sleeve surgery this past Thursday, Sept 1st. I was nervous a few days before, but the day of surgery, I was unusually calm. Surgery lasted about an hr and I was in recovery for a few hrs due to sleep apnea, they need to monitor longer. I was up walking soon after. Just felt like gas pains and it did travel to my shoulder. I had a nice private room at the end of the corridor, nice and quiet! I didn't like the pain meds, felt nauseous, so I just took liquid Tylenol. I was able to have liquids on day two, had a bit of broth, Decaf tea, but Isopure was nasty! I sip everything slowly and got it down ok. I came home today, only pain is where they put drainage tube, not my stomach! It just feels sore like stitch pain, but very tolerable. I got some Premier Protein drinks in chocolate, they are 30 grams of Protein. Much tastier than isopure! Just a bit tired from hospital and a little sore. I had a great surgeon and hospital staff was amazing. Hoping for all of you to have a speedy recovery!! The best thing is to be prepared beforehand and go in positive!

      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.
