Anyone is northeast Arkansas getting a gastric sleeve or had one recently?

I had my sleeve on 3-24-14 the morphine was horrible but they switched it and by the day I went home I felt better. My left side is extremely sore and tender which in turns makes my back hurt. This is the worst part is being sore! I'm on liquids till Monday which is fine. I'm unsure if I'm hungry, full or in pain which I know sounds crazy! I drank two sips of protein drink and was in the bathroom shortly following in fiery pain from my bottom. Today was my first day back at work and in exhausted trying to get my fluids in is hard I have had 14oz of water and a few bites of soup. I don't want to over do it that Is what worries me.

I've never actually posted in a forum before but my surgeon and his staff told me to download this app as a source of support throughout the experience. I'm 25 years old and recently married. I work as a therapist in a psych hospital. My dad, mom and sister have all had the sleeve in the past 6 months and have had amazing results. I decided to have the surgery prior to having children because I want to be happy with myself first and be in shape. I'm scheduled for surgery March 24th. I start my two week liquid diet in the morning. I didn't know till a little while ago that it's suppose to be sugar free and in freaking out a little because I didn't know so I feel more unprepared then I was to begin with. If any one has tips on getting through the two week pre-op diet that would be great. I'm a huge caffeine drinker especially soda so any tips on how to decrease that craving would be great. Thanks
