Zoftig Girl you will like,a lot,of friends with an Oreo diet, I can't eat chocolate ones but,I used to like the ,lemon ones. If they could put them n in a bottle I might be right over. Shoot I'll even come if you have Premier Protein, on ice. I prefer peaches & cream if you're taking orders.

Ack, in pain this morning, not from my incisions but from my IV line! Forearm felt a bit sore in the early hours of the morning so I called a nurse to check that all was fine. She reassured me it was ok and I must have been laying/leaning on it awkwardly in my sleep. When I woke a few hours later at 7 though it was REALLY sore, and quite hard and swollen. During the night the IV to had moved out of the vein and was pumping fluids into my arm. Very ouchy.

They removed the line immediately and I went and has my shower. They are waiting on the anaesthetist to stop by late morning and put a replacement one in my other arm (since I'm not getting much Fluid in by mouth yet, I have to be really careful around swallowing tablets with a minimum of Water to prevent it coming up again. The endone they gave me about 30 minutes ago has at least reduced the pain for now.

Has pains are now minimal and I'm trying to walk a lot while I'm not stuck dragging my IV with me at the moment.

Blood pressure is recording a bit high overnight and this morning, but that may be because of IV issue.

Still not feeling hungry thankfully, but will work to get more water and Protein water in today.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to be sleeved on May 1st as my insurance chose to deny the day before. They want me to do another three months, noting that I have followed the program and lost weight prior. So it looks like I'll be in July/September.

Were u approved before that or they just denied u

Our family is getting sleeved May 24 at Bariatricpal MX. My husband, daughter and myself! My sister is getting sleeved the day before! I guess our family reunions will no longer be centered around food. We are looking forward to a healthy 2018,

Had my surgery may 2 and have to say its been a struggle. Had bad nausea and pain post op and then Migraine hit for last 24 hrs. If i can be rid of that I'll be happy. Tolerating thin fluids ok. Just having apple juice and broth really. 🤞home in morning. Missing my boys despite a visit each day. My 3 yr old starts pretend sneezing and saying he's sick when he's here as he wants to stay in with me.

Well it could be done in Sturgis, of course you might wake up,with a biker tattoo, the operating technicians would be a biker gang,
But Sioux Falls sounds like a credible location,and I m sure they will,do fine by you. I will have my surgery, a RnY at OSU.in Columbus Ohio, when- only God Knows

I think I’ll stick to Sioux Falls... although I have been considering a shoulder tat

      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.
