I was sleeved just yesterday! Got home a couple of hours ago. Trying to figure out my new stomach. Everything I intake hurts so far. No matter how little or slow I go.

I don't have one either...same here just nothing after midnight the night before.

If u dont mind, how much do you weigh? I think the pre-op diet has something to do with your weight maybe

Good to know its not just me then. I was spitting up right after the procedure but have not vomited since. The pain makes me not want to drink anything even though I'm super thirsty

Jrk I'm sorry but you still have me in your corner. They postponed me back to early-mid March again.I have to have a upper GI with contrast done. The EGD showed I have a small gastric ulcer and this will pinpoint its exact location. Probably in the part he won't make my pouch out of but this way he's certain. Originally he was going to fax my gastroenterologist to arrange it at my local hospital but now they are going fax the Diagnostic Imagining dept. here directly. I didn't want to have to go to Columbus to,have it done, we have 4+ inches of snow on the ground with a strong chance of more tonight and Colombus is 50 miles (80 km) from where I live. After that things should resume going forward. I want this surgery and most people I'm not overly patient.

Hi I has nothing to do with weight. My Dr. does not require it from anyone. I asked right from day one...thought it was odd. Guess as long as you don't gain any weight along the 6 months he is good with that.

The pre op diet, which varies from surgeon to surgeon, is to shrink your liver. Overweight people have overweight (fatty) livers. The liver partially covers the stomach. If you go super low carb for a few weeks your body will feed off the fat and shrink your liver. A smaller liver makes it easier and safer surgery.That’s what I was told why they require a preop diet

      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.
