I just got my surgery date. February 12th. It hadn’t felt real till now that it’s actually happening. I know it might sound weird but now the nerves are kicking in.

Yay me too!!! I was on 12th

Mine malfunctioned too. I had it yearsss too. I had mine removed last January and sleeve soon. Kinda wish mine was all at once like yours but mine was so emergent to be taken out.

Me too had my band about 10 years and was sleeved on the 13th just realized I put 12th before I still have brain fog.

Congrats! I did pretty good on the second day I went home. But when I got home have had my on and off days sometimes, a suggestion to you after surgery when u get home and. Are trying to drink and get your Protein in get the clear juice-like Protein Drinks. They will count as liquids and your Proteins. Oh and one more thing is I was feeling hungry when I see food or smell food but couldn’t get it down if I wanted too,that will pass too!

They have me on Isopure each bottle 40 grams Protein. But it it till day three to get beyond just Water

Does anyone else’s feeling of needing to pee gone away after surgery I’m 5 days out and I have to remind my self to pee cause my body doesn’t feel the need to

The narcotic pain meds can do that they caused that and a lot of other problems for me including horrible itching on only Tylenol periodically now but last rd I can’t sleep and horrible pain low pelvic area to side

So my surgery was scheduled for 2/16. Went in to get the Gastric sleeve surgery & they didn’t do it because I had a huge Hiatal hernia. They repaired that and didn’t do the surgery. Has anyone had this happen to them?

Wow. My surgeon repaired my hiatal hernia during the surgery. When are they saying they will complete the sleeve?

Seems like so much longer than a week and 3 days. I'm on full liquids until the 21st and I am tasting those mashed potatoes and baked fish that I'll be able to have in my dreams! At first I was experiencing quite a bit of hunger (or so I thought) but after remembering to take my antacid every day, most of that went away. Now I'm just focusing on getting my Protein in. Looking for a small unflavored Protein Powder to experiment with. I know I'll be able to get a lot more in if I can mix it in the Soups that I eat.

Hopefully they won't make you wait too long. Are you still on a liquid diet in the mean time?

Let me know if you find one I would love to have an unflavored protein.

      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.
