Today is day 5 post-op sleeve surgery (Surgery 9/2). My pain is in my back, about a couple of inches above where my bra rides. I had a hiatal hernia repair also so I'm guessing this is the pain. I have always had a problem using sugar free products, causes a severe pain in stomach. So, I'm eating sugar free jello one time and regular the next. My Dr wants me to use Carnation Instant breakfast. Doing the same with it (sugar free one time/regular next). I find it hard to get all the water in. I'm constantly sipping on water but my directions are not to drink 30 minutes before eating. Thank goodness I'm not hungry but I do still crave everything. Starting tomorrow I'm going to try to walk a lot more. I think that will help with the cravings. I've lost about a pound a day since surgery. I'm still on the liquid diet until 2 weeks post op. Good luck everyone. WE CAN DO THIS!

My surgery is tomorrow! I'm so nervous. All the laundry is done. Clean sheets on the bed, bathroom rugs in washer. LOL...I have the nesting urge like I did before the girls were born. This nervousness is making me want to eat any and everything but I'm able to control it knowing it's just nerves. Pray for me please!

I just found out I was approved by my insurance on Tuesday. So, started the liquid diet Thursday since Wednesday was my 60th birthday. This is day 2 of liquids only and I have a killer headache. I'm sure it's just detoxing but it hurts! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. My surgery date is 9-2-15.
