Hey cprince1975, we have the same date and doctor. What time is your surgery?

Hey! How are you doin? Been wondering abt you

I was sleeved on the 16th by Dr. Maliapur at Huntsville hospital. Yesterday was by far the worst day yet. I can't seem to get this gas to leave my body and I've tried everything! Hope you all are doing well!

Def be up and moving. I'm up walking a lot too, not much gas pain at all. Just if I oversip liquid. Gas x dissolvable strips are awesome too! Hope you feel better soon!

I got sleeved on tuesday 12/17 n just got home. Still very bloated n sore. My upper back is hurting I guess cause of hospital bed. I am doing clear liquids till Monday. R u guys taking any liquid pain medicine? I was feeling depressed n sad today just want to feel better soon.

I took my liquid pain med the day I came home and the next day. I vomited a lot and needed it after that. But I haven't needed any since very early yesterday morning. I've felt so tired and sluggish until I had some Powerade zero. It's been my absolute life saver! Got out of the house today and have felt better. Hope you feel better soon!

Im doing good. I'm still trying to get down 64 ozs a day. I actually started full liquids before I left the hospital on Tuesday. Wednesday he let me start puree food. Im down 13 pounds since surgery but I can't tell where I'm losing it at.

Awesome! I'm starting full liquids on Saturday. I've found this Powerade zero has been my life saver. Feel soooo much better since drinking that. Are you feeling tired?

How abt you? Any problems?

I'm doin fine now, just feel tired.

When are you starting full liquids?

Today I've had Jello, popscicle and water! No vomiting, no temp so far. I've been up in shower and moving. Better day all way around!

Had low grade temp, vomited every time I tried anything, Water or Jello, but today I've actually kept jello down. No temp since abt 1 this morning.

I'm having problems with vomiting and pain. As soon as Water or anything hit tongue, vomiting starts. Was like this all day yesterday. Hoping for better day today. Got in 30 ml Jello this morning. Almost time to start water again. Determined to try

Ok my first day had some pain and vomiting. Yesterday was feeling great, eating so was discharged. Vomited every time I put ANYTHING in my mouth all night. Trying again today. Any suggestions?

Ok. Vomiting tonight. Just goin to bed

I'm better today. Was nauseated and hurting yesterday. I'm home. Eating some Soup broth.

So tomorrow is the big day and I know I'm ready but damn I wish this anxiety I have would take off! Not gonna lie, I did throw a going away party for my stomach last night. I wasn't on any pre op diet but today I'm instructed to drink liquids only, up till midnight and then nothing after that. So who else will be getting sleeved on the 18th? Besides chap stick, is there anything else that I need to remember to bring? I'll be all alone in this as my husband will be left caring for my daughter and I have chosen not to tell anyone else about the surgery. My husband will come visit me sometime after I get out of surgery. Would it be safe for me to bring my phone to the surgery? I don't want it to get stolen but how else can I call my husband once I'm awake?

You can put your cell in ur pants pocket inside ur belonging bag. They will keep ur items safe until moving to your new room. My lotion has been my friend. I was sooo dry from not eating or drinking, yes had I've fluids but not the same. My first day was a little rough. Good luck!

Up, showered, dressed, and eating my Popsicle! As soon as doc gets here, it's home for me. Feel AMAZING this morning. Very excited for a new, healthier me

Thanks

How are you feeling?"

Surgery was this morning. Just made my seventh lap in hallway! All in all wasn't terrible. Had some nausea and took nurse a while to get my med to me so a lot of dry heaving but other than that just tired!

Will be signing in at hospital in less than 12 hrs! Am surprisingly calm. Ready for this new chapter in my life!

Good luck tomorrow, hopefully I won't be far behind.

Did you ever get date? And thanks

Yes in not watching tv or if I do I walk out during commercials. I didn't know they have different kinds of broth like that I'm getting excited. I'm not as nervous as I was a few days ago. Have you had gas pains before? I haven't but everyone that I talk to say you can get them all over your body and it's painful.

I haven't had the gas pain but I've had patients who have. That's the part I'm dreading. I've already packed my gas x strips. Def take some of those. They are the bomb!! Lol. I'm now choking down mag citrate. YUCK. But I added sf fruit punch Water flavor packet to cherry med and is ALMOST tolerable.

Nurse too! I'm taking 6 weeks

Oh they called me the other day and told me to come in at 730 instead of 830...

I have broth, Jello, sf Popsicles, and sprite. Also got sf Powerade. Wishing I'd bought tortilla Soup broth.... I'm still on for 0830. I am feeling some melatonin early tonight so I can sleep. I'm starting to be hungry too but I think it's cause there's a food commercial on every 5 seconds lol

They gave me pills to take. I didnt have to do the mag citrate. ..but the meds are nasty too

That's awesome! I'm doin ok with liquid diet today. Very excited about tomorrow! How's it goin for you?

Clear liquids.... It's been an interesting morning. Been experimenting with broth today! Lol. The cook in me

Ugh! And the very expensive med is in a cheap bottle!! Had in my bag and some leaked out!! Deep cleansing breath.....

Trust me no one will be bothered by this. I work L&D so I used to this but my surgery friends call us at times for pads and things. It's all business to them.

I have severe PCOS and this is what my surgeon recommend for me. We discussed my fears and goals. At the end this is what we both decided was good for me. Research success rates. I'm on this site per suggestion of my doc. He said best place to research is a forum. Internet is going to be biased. Good luck
