Hi all! I was sleeved on the 17th and got to go home on the 18th. So far, I'm very sore but feeling much better than I expected! Working on getting my fluids in. My doc wants a minimum of 40oz liquids/day this first week. It's a challenge, for sure. Good luck to everyone!

I got mine done Monday morning. The first day sucked mostly because I couldn't have Water or even ice chips but I made it to my swallow test and was released last night. My weight went up about eight pounds from retaining Fluid but that will be coming out soon. Still trying to get all my liquid and Protein in. Sipping is hard when you sleep half the day. Excited for all of you and good luck!

You'll be fine, good luck and remember that it's all worth it. I'm 16 days post op. Not going to say it's been easy because it hasn't. But I'm down 19 lbs and getting it is getting easier everyday.

      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.
