easy on the vegemite and you'll be good. for me this website has been my co-pilot and constant companion. take care!!!

damn leprechauns. hang in there buddy. I was just sleeved 4 days ago. each day gets better. I haven't tried any Soups or broths yet.... I have zero appetite. they will probably switch you over to oxycodone for home pain management.... I have had zero pain meds in the last 12 hours. feeling pretty good. keep us updated. welcome to the other side!

keep up the good work!!!

@@Bigboy76 I was just sleeved on the 10th. so far so good. just follow your plan. I am sure your doc will take good care of you. it will all be worth it in the end. keep us updated on your progress

good read and reference if I run into this problem. thanks

congrats!!! I was the 10th too. hope you are doing much better each and everyday. cheers!!!

congrats and great work.

all good to know. I turn a lot when I sleep so I have been sleeping on a chaise lounge until I feel healed...

took me a better part of the day today to get through this entire thread. I am so proud of all of you and seeing how far you have come has truly inspired me. I was sleeved on Sept 10th and I am just starting my journey. I hope to be able to add to this forum with my own before and after pics soon. keep up all the great work!!!

Sleeved on 10th. I am coming along just fine. I am glad I have all next week off. I totally forgot that my 7 year wedding anniversary is tomorrow!!! Time flies. my wonderful 30 week pregnant wife knows that we will not be going out on the town. anyway, I am off pain meds now. I was given 90 oxycodone! I have been sleeping in a chaise lounge chair that keeps my chest elevated at a good level. I tried taking a nap on my bed today, but I know I will toss and turn at night that could cause some pain. I have chosen to keep my surgery a secret so I am really banking on a good recovery all next week to get back to myself before I head back to work. congrats to all of you who have made it through surgery. I love hearing your stories. keep up all the great work.

@@Westfield27 agh.... TMI.... lol just kidding. I was sleeved on the 10th and I have yet to go number 2. I did a little googling and it seems fairly normal to go 5 days or so. when were you sleeved? hope all is well. EDIT: I just saw your ticker.... 9/11. think you are good.

@@livvsmum so proud of you and how far you have come. congrats!!!

glad to see you have turned the corner. I am off pain meds now (surgery sept 10). don't really care for the taste of Protein shakes right now, but I am doing my best to get my required grams in. keep it up, I hope there are no more trips for you to the dr.s office. take care

my 3 week pre-op diet was much more open. super low carb, high protien, low calorie. 24 hour before surgery was all liquids. I am 2 days post -op now trying to get all my liquids in is hard right now. set my timer to go off every 15 minutes. for what its worth my surgeon said my liver was small and squishy (her words) and that I was a breeze to operate on. best of luck to you.

@@Alex Brecher thanks!!!! i am 2 days post surgery and this site made it happen!!!!

@@JCP great work so far. hope is all we need sometimes to pull us through.

glad your recovery is going so well. happy for you!!!

I believe that is your incision where the removed your stomach. it is the one that is the most manipulated. but like stated above, call your surgeon if your pain is too bad.

That is freakin' awesome. I do a back flip for you, but I was sleeved 48 hours ago..... ouch. is onederland 100 pounds lost or weight that is into the 100's (ie 100-199). either way you are kicking some serious ass.

I was specifically instructed to NOT shave. let them handle that. the reason is for infections.

proud of you. keep up all the great work

looks like some of you are staying 2 nights in hospital. hope all is going well. last night was a pretty good nights rest for me. up twice for restroom and once for meds. hang in you guys

I was spet 10 too. hope you are recovering well. please update when you can.

48 hours since I went into the operating room. Just got to keep telling myself that everyday will get better. lots of gurgling in my stomach this morning. I am setting my timer on my phone to go off every 15 minutes. need to watch Fluid levels and try to get good amount of protien in today. slept on a chaise lounge last night. worked out good. just enough to prop me up a bit. I have not tried to lay completely flat, but I don't think that would be too comfortable.

anyone experiencing heartburn? i was prescribed some pepcid, don't feel it working. hope this crap is temporary.
