Got sleeved yesterday at 2pm! The surgery itself was very quick! Once they hit you with the anesthesia you don't even you're out until you're waking up in recovery. You'll still be out of it for about 3 hours after surgery until the anesthesia wares off. I personally had no pain, but the gas pain is SO uncomfortable! I suggest that you walk as much as possible! That's what helped my gas pain go away. Make sure you sip your Water slowly. Even sips of water will make you feel a little uncomfortable. But the more you drink, the easier it will get. I tried the sugar free Jello but it didn't feel right going down. So I've only had water since the surgery and I don't even feel hungry. This surgery seriously does take away your appetite in the beginning. Just make sure you get in your water and Protein because you will not be hungry. I'm actually being discharged soon because I drank 4 ounces in an hour. If you're doing this surgery, I hope your surgery goes as smooth as mine! Good luck!

I was hungry right when I woke up. They said it was probably in my head.

I had my surgery on Saturday 4/6. Totally agree that once your out and wake up it's very very quick. I had some initial gas pain in recovery and was shivering quite badly but the doctors and nurses were great and gave me something that sorted that straight away. My surgery was at 8 and I was awake and coherent by 12. At that point I had no pain and was told to have a few sips of Water every hour. I kept waiting for the pain to come but even later in the day when moving to the loo or sitting up in the chair- it never showed up (thank god) and I was able to have no pain meds for the majority of my three night stay. The toughest time I had was the first day of Water only- my throat was really dry and I felt like I needed some sort of juice. Managed to get through the day though and was allowed very very diluted juice later on ...which tasted like heaven! Second day went by quickly and the mind hunger really did disappear. Third day I was allowed milk (yay) and again another taste was amazing. On this day I did have to do my own injection for blood thinners (as I need to keep doing it for 10 days). It totally was much better than I thought and was very relieved. I'm home today and just had my first puréed lot of food and so far so good :) good luck every one

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
