Woohoo! You look gorgeous. Congrats.

I'm feeling so much better and I'm able to drink so much more. I'm feeling so much better and I have more energy. It will get so much better.

Just found out I don't have to return to work until 04/29/13!!! Woohoo. Doing a happy dance...I mean ow I'm still sore and recovering...errrr....ah screw it I'm jigging! Lmbo. Woohoo.

Sess if u feel weak and unable to drink call your doctor. Also one thing my doc told me was check your tongue. If it looks white or pale you are most likely dehydrated. Your tongue should be pink. If so, go to the doc immediately and get IV fluids. Additionally DON'T drive yourself because its too dangerous. Have someone drive you.

Thank you thank you thank you. I was able to finish 2 protein shakes yesterday a 16 oz bottled water, 12 oz of tea and 8 oz of grape juice. Plus I had some broth and jello. This is a huge first for me! I think the dehydration had me so weak I could barely do much more. I feel so much better this morning.

I'm 5 days post op and bored outta my mind. I'm tired of being at home alone. I think I'm going to try and go to the mall or movies or something. How soon were you able to drive post op? I'm no longer on any pain meds. Just taking Tylenol.

Awesome feedback. I'm going to to bust outta this joint soon enough.

Thx for the great ideas.

So I got sleeved on Thursday afternoon. Thursday and Friday were the absolute pits. Excruciating gas pain and soreness in the abdomen. I wasn't able to walk much due to pain and lightheadedness. Today I'm feeling much better and I'm able to do my breathing exercises and walking. I can't believe I actually did. Here's to a new future.

Wow. I feel like a glutton. Perhaps I was high on pain meds but i thought teh nutritionist told me 1oz every 10 minutes. I have been aiming for that and come damn ner close. I am not sure I better check with my surgeon. If that's wrong then no wonder I am feeling so full all the time/

And the countdown begins!!!! I'm only 2 days away from surgery. I am so beyond ready for the next steps and what's to come. I know it's not without a price of pain and hard work but I'm in this with my game face on. I feel like I'm starting a new life. I've made some awesome friends on this site and been inspired by countless individuals. I can't wait to have a story of my own to share. I'm down 6 pounds and feeling like I can conquer the world!

I'm feeling so much better today. The first two days post op were horrendous pain. I was very pleased with the wonderful treatment I received from the staff at the hospital. I never wanted for anything. After I was able to pass gas and go #2 I felt so much better. The ride home in my hubby's Tahoe was the worst. I say find the smoothest ride you can get. Other than that just poop and toot as much as possible so you can feel better quicker. Lmbo.

I'm so pumped. First two days sucked majorly but I'm awake today and walking around, releasing my trapped gas. So on a whim I decided to weigh myself. I'm not sure how accurate it is bc it's not my scale from home but at any rate I'm down approximately 17 pounds!!!! Give or take a few bc it's a different scale. Either way I'll take it. And that's with all this air in me. I can only imagine what it's like in a few weeks once the air is gone. I'm beyond happy!!!! Woohoo!

Well that weight loss includes preop diet. Again im at a different scale then I usually weigh at. I'm just glad to see it go down some. I'm curious what my first post op appt says. Either way the pain is worth it

Well the pain is subsiding now that I can get some gas out. I'm off the strong pain meds bc I found it makes it easier to go to bathroom on Tylenol. I'm walking more and sitting up more. Still have gas pains and I'm struggling to keep the liquids in. No vomiting just hard to swallow and stay awake. I took a shower today and I feel much better. Each day gets easier and I'm praying by the end of the week illness able consume all my fluids.

Well I am all checked in just waiting on a room. I am so pumped and ready to go. I feel like wonder woman with all these wrist bands. I just hope they knock me out soon because my husband keeps eating like a tick. He is ridiculous.

Thank u so much.

Thanks all. I'm finally starting to feel a lil normal. The pain isn't overwhelming anymore. First two days were the absolute worst. Now it just feels like I did a ton of crunches.

Thank you all appreciate your support.

Thank you all. Having a hard time with all this trapped air in me. So painful.

Thanks all.

Well the cat's outta the bag. I've updated my facebook with surgical plans. Add me to the group please.

Yay!!! You're on your way.
