Thanks everyone. I was sleeved yesterday afternoon and your thoughts and prayers helped please keep them coming. I am feeling 75% better then yesterday still some gas pains but the heating pad is working wonders. I still have an Iv but it will get removed tomorrow and we will to to the recovery house. Just wanted to give you an update. All is well!!

Hey everyone. I was sleeved yesterday by Dr. Almanza and lying in bed at the clinic as I am typing. It's been about 24 hous since my surgery and I am feeling much better now. Some people got really sick and continued to throw up most of the night but I was a lucky on and dry heaved twice today and that's all. Sorry for being kinda gross but im trying to give you details. First of all Almanza is Fine!!! He came in sat on our bed and talked with us. The administrator has been here both days Mr. Bendecort. However you spell his name and he is extremely nice. Everyone is here for you to give you Meds or anything you might need. The plans are that we will go to the recovery house tomorrow get X-rays etc. And hopefully go shopping. If anyone has any fear at all about coming here don't they have been wonderful. I'll update more later. Also I brought a heating pad and it has worked wonders. Everyone need to bring one it's a MUST.

Bring a heating pad it works wonders with the gas

Awake early because of the different time zone. They lost our luggage and just hope we get it this morning before I leave for Mexico. Stressful. However today is the start of my new life. I guess I wouldn't be human if I wasn't scared. Please Send prayers my way today.

Thanks for your response. I hope today is better:)

Thanks Sooo much for the words of encouragement. Last week wasn't so bad because I knew I didn't have to do it so it must be all in my head lol. I know in the long run it will be worth it. It's just my stomach keeps growling. And everyone is eating around me. Ugh I think everyone should be on this diet since I am haha. Also, how is this helping my liver??

Ok, I wasn't required to start my protein diet until this week because my surgery is scheduled 10/01. However, I was thinking I was doing myself a favor and starting it a week early. Well, I have lost 5 lbs. but I want to eat and now I can't. What was I thinking???

I'm in the same boat with you, I started my pre-op Monday 9/19 and will have surgery 10/1. The first day wasn't bad, but not sure if I am eating correctly. Here is what I had that day. Breakfast - Protein shake with 1 cup strawberries lunch - Protein Shake with 1 cup strawberries dinner - cup with steak, chicken sausage mixture. Snack - 100 calorie count Ritz Snack - 60 calorie pudding I was not required to diet two weeks pre op but doing it to help with next week with liquid diet. What are you eating?
