Hi All I am a Nov 13th sleevester and am happy to report that I am feeling a whole lot better! I almost feel normal? The gas rumbling and crampy stomach pains are few and far between and much less intense when they do show up. Hallelujah I am farting and my husband hasn't even complained. Still no bm so I am trying some MOM. My doc check in is Tuesday the 20th and I have a few questions for him. I feel like I have something in my throat. Not really annoying but kind of a maybe I have a trapped burp feeling. I have been drinking with no problems and have never had any nausea. I tried one of the syntrax shake mixes for breakfast and I like it. The fruit taste is a refreshing change from the milky shakes. I too having been living on the cx noodle soup broth. Hate to waste the noodles but oh well. Cup of soup creamy chicken that you mix with hot water is great too. The only real pain I have is near my belly button of the right side where I have a big incision and nasty bruise. I will be glad to be able to sleep on my side soon. Looking forward to Thanksgiving, the day I start pureed foods. I am goinna have squash, mashed potatoes and a smidge of pumpkin pie (no crust). All my doubts of last week are gone. I weighed myself this am and have lost a total of 20 pounds since starting preop. I think I am gonna make it!!
