I was sleeved on the 1st and am doing great! I was out patient. Went to the hotel 4 hours after surgery. Slept a lot that evening, but made myself walk to get the gas out. Saturday I only took 1 pain pill, but probably could have gotten away with just a Tylenol. Walked that day too. It was a harder day in that I couldn't get my protein shakes down and probably only 4 oz of water. Called my surgeon and he told me to try Popsicles and Powerade zero. Those were the ticket! Sugar free Popsicles work great! Sunday, I walked the mall and felt great! Today I drove my 4 hour drive home and it made my belly button a bit sore, but not bad. I got 30 oz of protein in along with about 20 oz of liquid. So, it's been easier every day! I also went to Denny's and had them strain their vegetable beef soup and just sipped on that and also their chicken soup on another day. That was heaven! I'm super happy and excited for my new life. Down 14 pounds since the beginning of my pre op diet. Yay! Good luck, you March Sleevers!

Good luck, sastexan! You will do great. Yesterday I walked the mall and felt good. Getting stronger every day and more able to get my protein shake down, which was t easy a couple days ago.

It's Sunday and I am out to lunch with my mom. Having chicken broth and it is sooooo good! Been living on power aide zero and popsies so this is a treat! Yum! No pain pills yet today. Yay!

I'm so sorry, skgirl27. I'm having a VERY hard time getting liquids down. Was ok in the morning, but its getting worse as day goes on. I'm so afraid I'm getting dehydrated. I throw up when I try to get it down. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi everyone, so, most of us on here are sleeved now! Yippee! I'm working to get my protein and water in, whichI can tell its going to be a big challenge. I don't want to overdue it and throw up, so I'm being hypersensitive about it and probably not doing enough. This is going to be a learning curve for sure! Other than that, I'm good. Belly is a little sore, but I can tolerate it with no meds, so that good. My shoulder pain is getting less, so that's good too! Just need to keep walking and drinking. Wishing you all the best!

This is it for most of us on this thread! I am at the hospital just waiting to be taken back. Wishing everyone a speedy and comfortable recovery!

I have to be at the hospital at 6:30am tomorrow. AHHHHH! I'm kinda freaking out!!!!

Just arrived at my hotel in Vegas. Going to see the surgeon and nutritionist in 45 minutes. Then I get a last meal! Can't wait! Starting to be nervous, but at the same time it doesn't seem real. On roller coaster of emotions! Good luck to all!!!

Wait. Your surgery is in the morning as in tomorrow morning? Good luck and keep us posted!

It has seems like a dream up until today. I'm really feeling the pressure today. But I am excited too. Mostly nervous about the healing process. Afraid of strictures or leak. Ive lost 10 lbs in the last 10 days. That keeps me going.

I know. Is this really happening for us? Seems like a dream! I leave tomorrow morning for Vegas and meet with the surgeon. Then it's last meal time. According to the nutritionist your liver doesn't have time to expand so quickly, so I get a last meal. Looking forward to that just as much as the surgery!

I'm only 45 minutes from San Diego. You are going to be very happy with the weather! Good luck on everything!

The hospital just called to go over all my paper work. Made it all that much more real! The count down begins!

It's in your profile. I couldnt figure out how to do it on the app. Had to use the actual web site. Once in your profile there will be a list on your left. Click on tickers and then go from there.

I don't have and stomach burns. Not sure what that is all about. 3 MORE DAYS, people!!! It's getting so close. Hard to wrap my head around it.

Glad to hear your leak test went well. I love your updates. You're feeling good?

What does keotis mean? And I hear ya on the terrible breath. When in the world will that get better? It's awful! I just need Friday to get here. I'm starting to freak out a little.

A huge thank you to everyone! You've helped me feel much better and I am, once again, excited for Friday to get here!

So, I'm starting to freak out. I'm reading all of these posts and everyone is talking about taking very small bites. I do know that I will be needing to do this, but will I EVER be able to take a normal size bite during a meal? And I really don't mean a big one. Just normal? Like 1 year down the line? I can't imagine taking less than pea size bites of my chicken for the rest of my life.

Whew! I feel better. Thanks.

good to know. Congrats on your big day! Keep the updates coming. I'm hanging on your every word, as my surgery is Friday. Hang in there.
