Guys I'm so nervous. Can't believe it's just about here. My surgery is in the morning at 10:30 in Boca Raton with Dr. Shillingford. I flew in from The Bahamas yesterday and leave next Friday. I'm praying I have no gas pains and nausea. Truly praying.

Nikki congrats on you surgery. You did great. Linda you are almost there so keep pushing. I will let all you guys know how it goes tomorrow.

Hi Pey,

I had mine on the 19th. We just missed each other. How are you feeling?

Hey Nikki and Dee. I am doing well after surgery. I had gas pains but it was not horrible and did not last long. Fortunately I had no nausea so that was great. I am struggling a bit with getting in my liquids so I need to work on that. I can not wait for soft foods. It's like my body is so sick of the liquids so it makes me feel like not drinking anything. But I'm still trying to sip sip.

Has anyone heard from Linda? Feel like I have not heard anything from her lately.

I have not seen anything new post from her.
I'm glad your nausea is at bay. Have you tried adding different flavoring to your Water. I seem to tolerate flavored water better than just plain water. chicken broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles. Hang in there ... it gets easier.

I was sleeved on September 9th, so two weeks today exactly! The first 1.5 weeks were literal hell on Earth, I had quite a few issues with medication and problems with my doctor, but it's been 100% worth it. I am cleared to eat eggs and meats finally, I can go swimming, and I walked 1.5 miles today and only slightly felt like I was going do die from exhaustion and fatigue!

Oh, and I'm down 24 lbs in 2 weeks. That's pretty great.

Can anyone who has had their sleeve give me some inventive options for liquids that is close to food as possible? I am do sick of regular liquids like the Protein Shakes and broth. If I see one more broth I'm gonna hurl. It literally makes me gag now Just looking at them. Haven't eaten them since I left hospital.

      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.
