Hi Mandy! Good luck to you! I went down to Tjiuana and was sleeved by Dr. Illan. I'm feeling great postop. The incisions are small and the experience was excellent. You will be fine! Who is doing your surgery?

Awesome to hear Susie! I am having Dr Almanza do mine. I have several close friends that have used him and they all have had incredible success.

I'm so happy to hear your feeling well!

Are you having to take a lot of pain meds? What are they giving you for pain and is it on a pump?

I'm a lil anxious too but look forward to saying I'm free of this bondage that being overweight has held me in for the past 15 years. It's time to be me again.

I get sleeved on Monday as well. Feeling a little anxious because both of my sons are sick and my throat is sore.

No, pain stopped after day 2. Initially right after surgery I was on an IV and they would come by and give me pain meds every couple of hours or so. When I felt pain I would call on them for more.

After going home, I have been sore at times but there's not a thing Tylenol can't help. They gave me antibiotics and anti-gas medication. So far so good.

      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.
