Hi everyone, I'm Donna. Im looking forward to making some sleeve buddies!

Time is moving along fast since my sleeve surgery on Monday. I'm feeling so much better than I ever expected to feel this soon after surgery. I did struggle with some nausea and ended up in hospital longer than I anticipated. I weighed this morning and learned I've lost 11 pounds already. Amazing!

I am scheduled for sept 3rd. So excited. Been changing my diet for the past two weeks so pre op diet didn't shock my system so drastically . I started eating slowly and stopped drinking beverages during meals. I have to say not drinking Water or Vitamin water zero was harder than I expected. Thank god I stopped drinking pop a year ago. I am officially suppose to start preop on tues but have just decided to start a day early for ease of my routine for work. I've already lost seven pounds pre- pre op. it's been great to hear everyone's experiences. Good luck all

Hi! I had my surgery on 8/12 too! I've lost 8.6 lbs from my pre-surgery morning weight.

I had some complications after surgery (mainly an unknown allergy to morphine that caused me to heave through 7 different anti-nausea meds). The heaving caused my sleeve to swell and be VERY angry for a couple of days. I then had limited intake because anything more than 1/4oz would hurt going in.

But I'm doing MUCH better today!

I too had a few struggles. I ended up in hospital for five days but it was minor. I just couldn't get my liquids in without having to spit up which was foamy. I felt like I had a wall in my chest preventing anything from going down. I guess it was a combination of gas and nausea. It cleared up and I've felt great ever since.

I found gasX extra strength works awesome for me, has definitely help lower the pressure in my intestines and made restroom use easier too.
