Starting to be able to sip Water now. Hardly any pain but super nauseous. Sounds like that's normal. Surgery was a breeze and was up walking as soon as I was in my room. Good luck to everyone else too! Hope your procedures go as smoothly as mine.

Just FYI, my surgeon sucks out as much of the gas before they close you up to help. Didn't know they did that but thinks it has helped a lot.

Keeping me another night due to the extreme nausea. Dry heaves are not fun. Surgeon said approximately half of all sleeve patients get this and they are not sure why. Have to do the liquid protocol again tomorrow before I can get released. Their liquid protocol includes drinking 30 cc med cup of Water every half hour and then move on to 60 cc every half hour until you can get 60 med cups in. Interesting but they are worried about dehydration first and foremost. Won't even going home until that is done.

      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.
