My sleeve is Monday morning at 7:30am! It's Saturday night and I am feeling a mixture of emotions...excitement, relief, anxiety...I have read all the posts and I feeling that I have my eyes wide open. I am prepared for the worst, but praying for the best.

I was also sleeved on 2/20/12 and I feel great! My only problems so far are that I KNOW I'm not getting in enough water! I'm soo thirsty..but sipping just ain't getting it! Also, I can't tolerate cold liquids hitting my pouch, so this is seriously affecting my protein shakes, which are gross warm/room temp. So tomorrow im switching to protein "bullets". My surgeon tried to prepare me for all possibilities, so he had me stock up. My hope is that I will be able to tolerate cold shakes further down the line, because they are sooo good & so are protein smoothies. Adding chocolate protein powder to sugar free hot chocolate is delish also. If anyone has any ideas for me please share

I had my sleeve Monday @ 7:30am! Piece of cake! After reading all the posts, I was sooo worried about pain, tubes, etc...all of which were comPletely unfounded! Maybe since I've had 2 c-sections, but the tube has been easy breezy! I'm following my Dr's directions to the letter and I'm enjoying this life experience!

Thank you so much everyone for the well wishes! I'm packing my bag now and no matter the discomfort, I'm looking at the big picture. I'll post updates!

Thank you! Since tomorrow is my final PRE-op day, I'm planning to follow your advice & drink lots of water along with my shakes. At this point, I just want to get the surgery performed so I can "officially" get this journey started!

My sleeve is February 20th!! I am super excited and nervous all at the same time! I am sooo happy to be getting on with the next phase of my life! Good luck to you and I look forward to sharing our progress!! :biggrinjester:
