I also ended up having a hernia repair during my surgery. I had no idea it was even there Docs found it while they were inside and fixed it. I'm hoping that is where the majority of my pain is comin

Yeah, those tv food ads initiate your "head hunger" to salivate over their food. And yes, you have to sip, sip, sip all day long to get your fluids in.

Sounds like you are off to a great start!!! Keep up the great work, and good luck with your BB!
So, a week since my surgery. One, you gain about 10lbs in water weight from all the iv fluids they pump in ya, but you pee them out quickly.
Two, The pain from the hernia surgery far outweighs the pain from the sleeve surgery.
Three, Getting fluids in is rough, because it seems there isn't enough time in the day.
Four, ZERO Hunger, but every time a commercial for pizza or burgers comes on tv I want one.
Five, So far so good. Can't wait to get to soft foods in a week, because the protein shakes, protein water, and yogurt is getting old.
Six, Down 10lbs since the day of the surgery Not including the 10lbs of fluids, 50lb mark overall. Not so bad yet.
