Joni~~~ what exactly does your postop diet allow? Mine was clear sf liquids for 2 days then full liquids & purees. Yest I had couple bites sf pudding & later 1/2 sf Popsicle. This am I had 3 teaspoons very thin cream of wheat with a dash of Splenda. My mom made me homemade veggie beef soup so a couple teaspoons broth will be supper. Even tho I'm cleared for purée, I'm scared of that next step I do NOT want leaks!!! My biggest fear! I'm leaving for HI in 3 weeks so I got one chance to get this right! Oh & I've only lost 2 lbs since surgery

Well the day of surgery when I came out from under anethesia, I was terriblely nauseaus and in pain. zofran,phenergan, and lortab , seemed like my body just laughed at. It was complete and utter misery. But those nurses had me up walking when all I wanted to do was sleep off the misery! We would be walking and I was fall back asleep walking. they would pat my face and say wake up wake up. I was to miserable to protest! The next day was better but I couldnt get enough liquids in so i had to stay until noon the next day. I was not happy about that, I was so ready to go home to my own bed. Im better now, still extremely sore and have a hard time getting out of my bed with out help but otherwise all is good. Im trying to figure out just exactly what this sleeve is saying to me, is it hungry is it full, etc? It just feels so different than before, I havent figured out exactly how to interpret it yet. I have been drinking Powerade zero all day (sipping) and I take about 4 sips of 1 % choc milk when I need to take my meds so it will kind of coat my sleeve, and prevent the nausea. Hey, we are on the losers bench!

I'm in or waiting room right now. Should be called back any minute. Excited & terrified at the same time! Good luck to all my fellow 4/23 sleevers!!! We'll be in the losers bench in no time!

In in OR waiting room as well. See all of you on the losers bench soon!

Wow, what a well thought out and heartfelt letter! I love it and wish you success on your journey. Im scheduled for 4/23 so we will be pretty close in dates. Good luck!

My surgery is scheduled for Monday, April . My surgeon only requires 2 days of liquid diet preop! Yay for Me!
