I don't worry about the calories. I was told to concentrate on Protein (70 grams per day), carbs (less than 90 per day), and Water (64 oz).

I was sleeved on November 12th. I am doing really well. I have lost almost 3 lbs. The soreness is almost gone. I have only taken pain medication once since I left the hospital and that was because the gas they pumped in me, caused my back to hurt and I wanted to be able to sleep the night I came home. I sleep on my side. I can't wait to get back to my stomach, because I'm a stomach sleeper. I am still careful when I move because I don't want to rip my incisions back open or hurt myself on the inside. I am on a liquid diet right now. I haven't been nauseated. I've been able to tolerate all of the liquids I've tried. My appetite is diminished, but I am craving regular foods. I cannot wait to chew food again. I am so ready to get back to my regular low-carb diet. I am surprised at how well I have done.

I'm so glad to read this because I'm 5 days post-op and stay hungry too. I'm trying my best to drink, drink, drink, but it's hard. I was afraid something was not right because I have had such an easy time and because I am hungry.

Sleeve complete. Waiting to go home. It's tough but doable. I feel much, much better today than I did the first two days. Everyone says day 3 is the turn around and it was for me.

My doc said to drink a medicine cup full of Water every 15 minutes.

Hello fellow Kentuckians. I'm getting sleeved tomorrow. Please keep me in your prayers! I'm so ready to do this! I've hated this pre-op diet.

Had my last pre op NUT appointment today!! It's all in the hands of the insurance now. *gulp*

Hey All!! I live in Lexington... going through the 6 month requirement for my insurance. Hope to be sleeved in april 2013. Would love to find some pen pals/friends!!!!

Off to the hospital shortly to change my life. Good luck to everyone, especially my fellow November 6th-ers!

Sailed through the first three days of pre-op with no problem. Now on day four, I am MISERABLE! Hungry but the thought of another Protein Shake makes me gag. I am even nauseated - I think it's all the sweet stuff.
Three more days, three more days, three more days...
Just had to vent out loud to people who would understand.

Today I completed my last follow up with my doctor . So excited about surgery!!!!
2013 is my year....SD 11/19 Methodist Hosp in NY

My surgeon didn't require any sort of liquid diet. I feel lucky about that! I just can not eat after 8pm the night before.

November has finally arrived, yay for us!! This is our month .. Good luck to all of us being sleeved/reborn. We got this!

It's the first day of November people! It's time for some to get their sleeves on! Lets rock and roll!!
