Oh my gosh, I was just thinking about you! It sounds like you are in good hands. I hope they help you recover quickly! -
Small amounts of well chewed foods

Hi, I am on 3 weeks full liquids then 3 weeks soft diet then regular food. Every time I feel sick of liquids I remind myself of the leak horror stories. It works!! LOL -
Anyone with Surg between Nov 13th and Nov 18th

Hey MicNic, I am so glad to hear that I am not alone in feeling brainless! I have forgotten simple things and stared blankly at my family because I hear them but they aren't making sense. I am writing it off to poor sleep and still getting the anesthesia and meds out of my body. I really think some people metabolize drugs faster and better than others! Give yourself a break and be kind to yourself. -

Hey there fellow sleevers! I had surgery on Nov 16 and am still on liquids..."whatever can go through a strainer". I have more energy every day and don't have pain at all. My stitches pull if I bend or stretch too much but that is all. I am really anxious to move to mushies or soft stage. Anything to eat! Drinking my meals is getting old!! Looking forward to this wild journey that we are on! -
I agree ... it has been harder than I thought it would be too! I have a little more energy but I get tired so fast. Laughing, coughing, sneezing are painful. I have been getting close to all my protein and liquids but it is work! I am waiting to weigh myself tomorrow at one week follow-up appt. Yaay for your scale victory!!!

Well how r u feeling? I'm feeling better everyday. Its till hurts when I stand up, laugh or cough. My goal today is to get all of my protein and fluids in. It's been harder than I thought it would be. I'm down 7lbs pre op and 11 post op... Yaay!

I was sleeved on Nov 16th also. Came home after two days in the hospital. My JP drain was removed in the hospital before I left. The liquid diet has caught up with me and no worries about bowl movements here!! Also that time of the month has come early. On another post, someone talked about getting your TOM after surgery is normal and nature's way of making sure there is no pregnancy risk. I have been craving a hamburger....!! I am very sore in my stomach and my back. Keep telling myself that it will get better and sip and walk. -
Hey Kelli, hope you are home and feeling better everyday! I wanted to post to you on our actual rebirth day but I couldn't figure out how to post!! Silly I know....I am still fumbling around on this site!!
Well wishes sent your way!!!

Hi Stephanie! Happy "rebirthday"! I can't beleive it's actually here already. Good luck! Too bad we're not in the same area that would be nice. Well here we go sleeve sister, to the "loser bench". ~Kelli

I can't believe it's here! I am on liquids only for pre-op (no solids after lunchtime they said). I am so nervous although I know that I will be in good hands and have the most help and monitoring in the hospital. Wishing a speedy recovery to all who are scheduled soon! See you on the other side

Surgery Tomorrow
SimplyStephanie replied to cbchebert's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hey Fly Girl! I am scheduled for my sleeve tomorrow too! So I clicked on your profile wondering if we were in the same town/hospital (we're not) BUT I saw that we share the same birthday!!! Since we have the same birthday and "rebirthday", we definitely have to keep each other posted! Stephanie
