I had a headache from the pre op liquid diet also. I thought it was probably because I stopped coffee and caffeine cold turkey. I think I looked online for natural ways to get rid of a headache. Look online can't remember now what I did. What state are you in? I am in California and had my surgery through Kaiser Insurance. Just try to sleep and continue to picture yourself healthy and all the wonderful things that are going to happen. I wrote a list and put everything I could think of. Down to shaving my legs and other places also lol. You are almost there!!!! Good luck to you..

My parents grew up in Inglewood back in the 40's until the mid 60's. Get some sleep if possible..

My sleeve was 4-19. Doing good as far as I can tell. Drinking Water and Protein Drinks. Looking forward to creamed Soups. Not much appetite though, which is a PLUS

It was postponed until 4/ 25.. I'm disappointed. I was ready, physically mentally and emotionally. Now I can't seem to get it together... How are you doing?

I was sleeved on the 19th. The first 2 days in the hospital were a little miserable but once I got home, I felt so much better. I haven't had to use any of my pain or nausea medications so I am counting myself truly blessed! I'm taking things one day at a time, have my one week post op appointment tomorrow plus I get to start puréed foods. I am totally looking forward to that! (NEVER thought I'd say that!) good luck to all!

I had surgery on 4/26. I got to leave after one night and come home. Also have a horrible headache that won't go away. Aside from being constantly sleepy, I feel okay.

Y'all, I got sleeved 4/19 and I'm down 12 lbs so far from surgery day! I'm still pretty sore, but I have been back to work for 2 days. I'm on purees finally, so I can finally eat and feel full for a few hours. Best decision of my life.

I'm so hungry and I was worried! So it is good to know you felt hungry also. Did you have trouble staying awake after surgery?

Yes. When I was on Clear Liquids, I couldn't stay awake for anything. Once I slept through the night for 15 hours straight.

I was sleeved yesterday in Richmond, va, everything went great. I had gas really bad for an hour then it went away. They had me up walking every 2 hours all night so I'm tired and have a headache

      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.
