December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

[Mel1071 149]

I had to do two days clear liquid before the surgery and absolutely nothing to eat or drink after midnight.

[sandisleeve 563]

super excised, can't believe the 30th is almost here, have to be at the hospital at 5:30 Monday. Did anyone have institutions of not drinking or eating anything red the day before surgery?

- yes@red rule because it can appear suspiciously as blood during surgery so the med prof say ... They said no purple either for same reason

No food or drink after 10pm for our surgery here.

Please add me to 12/23.<br><br> The day of surgery and following day were awful. Chest pain, gas, groggy, loopy, lots of buyers remorse. Now 4 days post op and feeling pretty good.<br><br> Good luck to all of us.

RXG-I know what you mean about the temporary buyers remorse! I actually said to my nurse and PA that I had changed my mind. I was in too much pain and wanted my stomach back! Lol! Thankfully, they just smiled knowingly.

Hey everybody. Dec23rd Sleever here. Making my way through head hunger, nasty tasting Protein Shakes and salt cravings. Super excited to have it done and looking forward to the success to come once I can up my liquids n Protein. I can only get about 30oz and 30grms down right now. 2014 here I some. !!! Happy New Me!!! Lol.

Hi. Dec 23 sleever here as well. Totally get your craving for salty things. I am not interested in the broths at this point, yuck. But I did want some egg drop Soup. I was feeling good on Clear Liquids so asked the docs office for their blessing to progress to full liquids. Since my soft egg yolk (hey, I read it's a full liquid) fiasco yesterday (that was so satisfying...for a few hours before my tummy got sour) I decided to ask the doc before eating anything I am unsure of.

I asked them if I could have egg drop soup. They said yes and man, it is hitting the spot! It's salty, would that be of interest if the doc ok'ed it? When do you move through the next stages?

Btw, if you like chocolate I recommend the Myology Chocolate whey on Puritains Pride. Got it B1G1 and it tastes like chocolate milk when you mix it with milk. Love it before and after surgery. :-P Mmmm.

How are you feeling?

Hey there. Feeling good still getting tired easily. Where do you get the shake you are talking about? Sounds delish. Struggling a little with the intake but it get better everyday. Took GasX in the hospital as I saw hubby struggle through the pain n gas and stuff. Felt 100% better after surgery. Looking for a buddy through the next month and egg drop soup sounds to die for. I been cleared to eat what I can tolerate and to try small doss first. Had some cottage cheese last night w avocado. Only 2 - 4 super small spoonfuls but it's soo good and I HATED cottage cheese before. Lol thanks for your input and suggestions

[Nurse_B 270]

Please add me to 12/23.

The day of surgery and following day were awful. Chest pain, gas, groggy, loopy, lots of buyers remorse. Now 4 days post op and feeling pretty good.

Good luck to all of us.

Happy to hear you are feeling better!!

[meamo 42]

I'm questioning what have I done to myself...I can barely handle this pain on my chest whenever I drink water.. went to walgreens and bought some zentac...to see if it helps. I also noticed I was not mentally ready for this surgery (sleeved Dec 18th 2013) I want to eat.. and have tasted sweet potato, mash potatoes. ..but I feel terrible. I don't want any more Protein Shakes or broth. I don't know what to do. All I can do is pray...There is no turning back I know..I just want to feel better and eat what I want without pain..sorry don't mean discourage anyone I just don't know what else to do
