You are my inspiration, this has bought tears to my eyes!! I'm so proud & happy for you, keep up the good work... you look amazing

Has anyone (women) had the experience of sex being very painful? I want to bring this to my doctors attention

I had dr sabir sleeve me on 10/9 at providence in Southfield...he was great and I'm doing great with no problems...no vomiting no nausea, leak test went well and i believe I've last about 23 pounds

I actually go through the same thing...I'm so weird i try to hold my stomach while getting up from a lying down thinking that i won't get that feeling.

I actually started Monday night at around 6pm and had to be at the hospital for surgery Tuesday at 7am...talk about pissed!! They made me what their undies and their pad but when i got out of surgery i had a catheter in...go figure.....but i put in my pad and panties afterwards cause...sorry if this is tmi...i couldn't get a tampon in, i guess i was swollen in that area.

I'm also allowed instant mashed potatoes, cream of wheat and oatmeal on my full liquids and I'm only one week out and it's going pretty good, i just wanted to add some eggs.

congratulations...We were sleeved on the day...however my doctor doesn't let me have eggs or tuna till two weeks out. What else do you eat and how does it go down?

I've been eating oatmeal on my second phase of the diet, i notice oatmeal doesn't make me full at all. I'm only one week out and i don't know if the oatmeal is just going straight through the sleeve and that's why I'm not getting full.

On phase 2 of the diet, how many hours do you spread your meals apart?

I'm in the hospital bed, i have two i.v.'s and I'm ready....talk too you soon..

Well a little ober 24 hours and i feel a lot better than what i did yesterday. I didn't feel like talking or texting anyone, i had my mom and a friend come by and i was so drained and in pain that talking made me hurt. I also had a hernia where my esophagus and stomach met so my doctor noticed that during surgery and stitched it up, that also added a lot to my pain. Today I'm doing much better, I'm walking, talking and also just had my lunch..cherry sugar free jello and chicken broth..yummy. thanks everyone for the well wishes i really appreciate it!! Oh one more thing when i first arrived yesterday i weighed 248 today i weighed 257.. one week ago before i started my preop diet i weighed 259...

My surgery is in the morning also...i have to be there at 7: 00am surgery scheduled for 9am...good luck to everyone!!!

My surgery is tomorrow morning at 7: 15am..i have to be at the hospital at 5: 15am, so anxious.

Thank you everyone for your support, I'm looking foward to the new me!! This just got real.

Hello there...congrats on your surgery, I'm having mine at the same hospital and but the same Dr on October 9th....how are things going for you?

That's exactly what I wanted to know!!! Thanks

I'm only going off what my doctor said....things that slide right through the sleeve.

A slider food is anything that can slide right through you sleeve and your not full...ex. ice cream, milk shakes chocolate, anything that melts.

Which one worked best for you?

Thank you so much for your responses, I have to begin my one week pre-op diet next week and I don't like milky like products at all so I'm trying to get everyone's opinion...

Yes it was very informative, it lasted two hours..the pre op diet is only for one week

My doctor called and asked if I'll be willing to move my date from October 16th to October 9th!!!! I said yes with the biggest smile on my face...
