Water, I bought vanilla soy milk and enjoy a few Dixie cups of that. I like using Dixie cups because it helps me calculate.

I purchased a whey protein from walmart that has 30g protein, 2g sugar, and 160 calories. I'm ordering better stuff online. What are you using?

This heating pad is amazing! I recommend everyone who is getting this operation to purchase one. Also, I mixed my protein together and made popsicles. Sooo good!!! I didn't feel like I was having to force drink. 2 Popsicles have 30g or protein.

Thanks! Walmart was ok, I went in for a heating pad. I'm home and tools some pain meds and about to take a nap. I haven't passed any gas. I have burped a lot.

I will, just need to walk a little. Im going to drive the scooter and get out when I need something. Going for a heating pad. Water is one of the only things that doesn't bother me.

Day 3 - I am going to be brave and go to walmart. I'm going to purchase a heating pad and a abdominal pad. I was able to drink 4 ounces of soy milk, diluted fruit juice and multiple Dixie cups of water. I don't know what the gargling sound everyone experiences is. I haven't felt that. To future sleevers: You can do this! It is very uncomfortable and sore on your left side. With pain meds and lots of walking everything is getting better.

I'm sending my husband to buy me some when he wakes up.

I'm ok, really sore. Trying to get my liquids in. Thats hard to do.

This is day 3 for me too. Gas pain is here. Awful I can't sleep either. What are you drinking?

Wow I was a little drugged when I wrote my last comment. All kinds of errors!!

I'm sleeved and home. It was a little rough the first day. I'm getting better everyday. In not sure how to get my protein in. I'm drinking about 4 oz and hour.

This I not an easy road, that's for sure. Day 2 and i feel a little better. Nausea comes and goes. Left side hurts really bad from he big incision. The has pain was the worst! I'm drinking water fine.

I'm sleeved!! I won't sugar coat it, when I woke up I was in major pain. Gas pain mostly. They have me on a pump an it was getting the job done. So, they have me liquid codeine. That worked miracles!

I'm leaving for the hospital! Very excited and nervous. I'm so ready for a change. Praying for everyone in surgery today!! I will post how I feel as soon as I can.

Thank you! I plan on being very active on here. I love seeing people's transformations

Me! Tomorrow 6/19

I started my period during the pre-op diet and on birth control. Just shows that Healthy eating makes your body change. I've also had to decrease my blood pressure meds to only once a day. Good luck!

Tomorrow at 7:30!! Getting excited but nervous. Im not sure it has hit me yet!!

I'm June 19th too!! YAY I'm nervous and hearing all these positive stories gives me hope. Praying for all the sleevers out there.

Thanks! I've lost 8 lbs in one week! I thinks that's awesome. Any recommendations on shakes you enjoy? I'm so sick of them!! I am drinking the EAS advantage ones. They are smooth and good. I'm the type of person that likes meat and not a sweet taste person. So it's hard for me. I think I'll enjoy the broths and soups. At least I hope so!!

Hi! I'm Morganne and I'm 27 years old. I am married and have a 3 yr old daughter. I come from a large family. 2 sisters and 1 bother, parents married for 36 years, 9 nieces/nephews, 6 brother, sister-in laws. I am a teacher and love children. I have two sweet dogs. In my free time, we eat! Go to the movies and eat out weekly. I'm ready for a life change. I want another baby. I struggled getting pregnant and had to have fertility. I have high blood pressure which began with my pregnancy. I'm hoping that with weight loss it will go away. I want to have the energy to run/walk a marathon or do a color run etc... Most of all, I want to set an example for my child. I can't wait for a second chance! It's like a rebirth. Lol Surgery date June 19, 2003 5'1 - 200 lbs Pre-op now - 192 Goal - 125 to 135

Sick of the pre-op diet. Surgery is on the 19th. I have multiple friends who have had this surgery and they all say the pre-op is the hardest. How are you guys feeling who just had the procedure?

I'm June 19th too!! Very nervous but ready for a new healthy life!!
