Hey everyone, I'm officially post op!!! Surgery went well, they've had a little difficulty trying to get my pain under control, but other than that it's been good. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank all of you for the support over the last 10 months. You rock!

Congrats!!! Im 5 days out. Each day gets a tiny bit better. Ive been plagued by a dull headache the last few days. Either its caffeine withdrawl, or i need to increase my Water. I used to slam water bottles preop. Now it is taking me hours to get halfway thru one.

So I'm home and everything is good. I'm a little concerned though, I can pretty much drink all the liquids I want without issue. My biggest, deepest, darkest fear was going through all this effort and the sleeve not working. Maybe it'll be different once I start real food

I was the same way.
I could chug Water without any issue the day after surgery.
I was convinced my doctor made my sleeve too big.
The entire time I was on liquids I felt like my sleeve was too big.
Now that I am on soft foods, I am sure my sleeve is not too big.

      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.
