I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved, any other March Sleevers in the building?

its hard getting use to some changes just feel hungry and have bad acid indigestion

I can only imagine the change from lap to sleeve. I also felt hungry during that first week out, they call it head hunger but it feels oh so real. Are you taking Prilosec or Protonix or Nexium, they will help with the acid stomach. Once you move to full liquids and more dense proteins, the hungry feeling will go away. I now have to force myself every two hours to eat or I wont, I no longer have an appetite. I went from feeling so hungry to a point where nothing seems good at all. This is really hard work! I was in a dream land thinking this would be soooo easy, boy was I wrong. This is just a small bump things will get better, well wishes to you

i had mine at arlington memorial hospital in arlington texas

Where in az?? I'm on the 27th here in phx

I'm in phoenix as well. I'm at Banner Gateway.

So I'm 11 days post op and I feel fantastic. I had a hard time getting my protein in but think I found a solution and wanted to share with anyone else struggling. I mix have Atkins Dark Chocolate protein drink and half skim milk. Its not too thick and no after taste. So far its working wonderful. Almost feels like I'm drinking chocolate milk. Well I guess I am in a way. I hope all March sleevers are doing well. Good luck to the last few that are being sleeved this month.

Hello March Sleevers,

I am now 3 weeks post op and still on full liquids, I will be seeing my nutrionist next Tuesday so I am thinking that is when she will start adding some items to my current regime. I am hoping that all of you who have already had your surgery are doing well and for those of you still waiting to get your surgery done this month are in a good place mentally. Waiting around is the hardest but March is our month to a new beginning, it is spring time and its our time to bloom into a healthier body and mind. We have Taken this journey together and we are on our way!!! We are each going to have the same surgery and we will share same experiences as well as different situations as we move forward. So, lets help each other out and don't forget to check in on the forum after your surgery and stay connected with the March Sleevers. We all need support along the way.

Happy Easter to All,

Cheryl

On my way to the hospital!!! Best wishes to all of us for a safe surgery and speedy recovery. Will update from the loser's bench!!!
