@Shyree Wimberly Hi!! How did your surgery go and how are you feeling?

I had a few complications but other than that it went great they just couldn't get my pain under control the first two days so I was on diladid around the clock but Sunday it got much better. I'm doing good with my fluids and my meds.

Oh goodness! That sounds awful! Do you mind sharing what type of complications? Did you have to stay in the hospital those two days or were able to go home. I’ve been worried something like that might happen with me during my surgery. I had a hysterectomy back in 2018 and during the procedure my bladder was ripped in half because of adhesions 🤦🏽‍♀️.

It wasn't due to surgery. I'm disabled and I had my bladder done so when they went in I had a lot of scar tissue and it caused my colon to attach to my stomach wall so they had to repair that before doing my sleeve. My surgery was on the 25th and I was discharged on Monday the 28th.

      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.
