I drink my. Shakes mixed with water only....Syntha-6 yum-yum

I think you share a date and a Dr with member `Kimmyiet` try reaching out to her. She's been supportive to several members in this topic. Good Luck!

Sometimes I feel an ache in my sleeve...not sure what its caused by. I think it happens when I'm totally empty. It does go away if I eat a jello cup, popsicle or even take a sip of water....(that's why it doesn't seem like hunger...1 sip of water an the ache is gone?) Weird

Mine hurt in my left upper shoulder....someone described it as gas that has settled there. Hurts like the Devil! I just want to know when it will leave.

Darn that Gas Bubble! Its the worst when I hiccup.....sharp and shooting. Will someone tell me when it will end?

Congrats on the the start of your journey! We will all keep you and futureskinny in our prayers!!!

I was sleeved on 8/14 too and I don't feel hungry either. I also don't have a desire for what everyone around me is eating. Im on clears and full liquids til 8/29, but it satisfies me....it does hurt when I drink more than few ozs at once. I feel like a stuffed sausage until I walk around for a bit. I had loose stools when I was just drinking the clears....when I added the puddings and creamed soups and cream of wheat cereal things got more on the normal side......Good Luck Everyone!!

Its great to see so many new pre-sleevers here. As we round out week 2 my thoughts go out to all of you that went before us. I can't wait to hear about your experiences....I've been watching every VSG journey I can find on 'YOUTUBE'. I have literally subscribed to over 100 Vsg vlogger channels. I ask questions and offer support...but no one elses story will compare...to our own. Next week is my week...I'm excited and nervous. No pre-op diet(yea!) But I'll be NPO after midnight on 8/14. I work as a nurse at the hospital where my surgery will be performed, so I'll be getting off work at 7:30am and returning to preop at 9a. I find it better to keep my mind occupied at work than to sit at home and worry all night. I've been doing some last min. shopping and lots of housecleaning.My Dr says he wants me walkingin the halls within 2hrs after I'm out of surgery...I told him "GameOn"

Amen.....that was a GREAT response!!! Love It!!!

LPN for 5yrs, RN for 12. I work Cardiac/Telemetry and my surgery date is 14Aug12. I plan to take 2 weeks off after surgery. I have made a contingency plan for an additional week off if things don't go smoothly. Our hospital has a Lift Team 24hrs a day and electric transport gurneys so that should make things easier.

I hope it all works out for you. I'll keep you in my prayers.

I must say....I really like your name....I fits with what we're all about to go thru.....there will be lots of peeks and valleys on this road...but I hope we can remember to laugh thru some of the lows. God willing they won't last always. I'll keep you in my prayers....looks like you and Umi will be leading the parade of AUGUST SLEEVERS!!!!!

I feel for you sleever.....I do not envy you with that one.....but I feel for you . I hear it gets better tho ....Look to the light at the end of this....uhm ... slippery tunnel. YOU get to go 1st!!!!! We're all rooting for you...just remember that.
