Ello, also a fellow 6/15 er . Like you I have felt good from the beginning... Aside from the nausea right out of surgery. I have lost a total of 7lbs since surgery. I have read that some don't see loss right away because of swelling but I am not sure. Just remember although we have had the same procedure our journeys will be slightly different.

I found skinny syrups at Burlington coat factory and at Ross. But you can get torani at almost any grocery store. -

I am one day post op and they gave me sugar free pudding at the hospital along with cream of chicken soup. -
I'm still here. Can go home tonight they wanted to see if I could tolerate my food. They said I'm doing really well and they have advanced my diet. I've moved from liquids to cream of chicken soup and pudding. Yay! Never thought I would have cream soup this early.

How is everyone feeling today? I actually feel pretty good. I'm tired but the pain isn't to bad. Sip sip sip but I want to guzzle my mouth is so dry. Every time I take a drink of water it feels like my stomach is growling. They said I was doing good with the water so they let me have broth last night. And who else has green peee in... I know.... Gross.... Hope everyone else is doing well today!

One day post op and not feeling too horrible. No nausea since I first woke up and have only pressed the button for pain meds once and that was yesturday morning. Every time I sip water my stomach growls at me... So happy I finally made it to the losers bench.

I'm getting so nervous.... Less then two days left! I will be checking in at the hospital at six am surgery at seven. I've told a total of four people what Im doing. I live in a very small community so I am sure there will be alot of talk. Was debating on just making a public post on Facebook.... But I think I'll just let em guess. Good luck to the rest of you June 15th sleevers!

I'll be checking in at six too! Got to drive about an hour before I get to the hospital. Don't think I'll sleep well Sunday! Good luck to you!

mandaroo replied to perk4756's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do t think the cravings will go away... To many triggers. Everyone around me smokes. I've quit worse things in life so I think I'll be OK. I think I might get another pen just to have around just in case. The worst part of quiting for surgery is having to be on the dreaded pre op diet at the same time.
