Well 3:30 in the morning. Officially started stage 1 now. Able to start little itty bitty sips of Water now every hour. Pain is not to bad. Had pain meds at midnight and don’t feel I need them right now. Walked a total of 5 laps last night. Very happy about that. Staff here is just amazing!!!

Today is going to be great!!! I can tell.

Glad things are looking up for you :-)

Just saw the doctor. She has moved me to stage 2. Said everything looks great. Blood count is a Little low so they will watch that. Definitely staying one more night. But that’s ok. Did 4 laps in the halls this morning.
Pain has its moments. Only had Tylenol at midnight then didn’t ask for anything until 6:30 this morning. Gave me double hit. So that part is getting better as well.

Hi all. I was a March 1st and the first two days were rough for me. The gas was bad but not awful. But the pain was rough. I really couldn’t do Water but watered down Gatorade worked much better. Ice pops were really helpful. At no point did I have narcotics - which was probably why the pain was bad. I’m on a mixture of Tylenol, gabapentin and some other type of pain neuro something or other. I thought I made a mistake yesterday but today I’m much more clear headed. Heating pad helped a ton too. Thanks for that suggestion. Hope all of you are doing well.

Yes full liquids. They said they will try stage 3 tonight. Protein Shakes. I did just eat about 1/4 of chicken broth. So far belly has handled it ok. Nervous eating because not sure when to stop. Didn’t want to freak my belly out. Walking is going great. I’ve made 16 trips down the halls today.

Does anyone else get nervous when you read the posts from fellow sleevers that lost 15-20 in the beginning and then nothing else? Must admit it does make me a little nervous. It has got to be so devastating to Work so hard to get to this point and then you lose such a little amount of weight.




I guess everybody is different I was sleeved 2/27 and as of today 3/3 I’ve already lost 8 pounds

Wow. They're letting you move through quckly! I'm on clear liquids for a week, then full liquids weeks 2 and 3, then soft weeks 4 thru 6. I'm looking forward to full liquids. I'm hoping my surgeon clears me early for full liquids at my appointment Monday.

16 trips is awesome! Way to go!!

So confused and concerned when my surgeon told me he would only be removing 50% of my stomach!!!
My surgery is today!?
Help?

Oh my! I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or bad. Did you request pictures? My surgeons office said they remove about 70%. How did things go for you? How are you feeling now?

      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.
