Any May 2014 sleevers?

[Divadee35 47]

I stayed over night, I came home yesterday! I have to force myself to sip! I'm sipping broth, I ate Jello, and crystal light! I start tomorrow on shakes...my tummy feel real heavy! I guess it's the fluids from the I'V!

Do you feel nauseated? Are you taking pain meds?

[Divadee35 47]

I don't feel nauseated, my tummy feel heavy with fluids!

[Divadee35 47]

Yes, I'm taking liquid hydrocordone

Only one nite in the hospital -wow - I hope I am that lucky !

Are you taking any Vitamins yet ?? Or do you have to wait a few days ? What kind are you going to be taking ( I am going shopping this weekend- but not sure what to pick up)

[Divadee35 47]

So while I was in the hospital, a Walgreens rep visited me, and get this filled my prescription and bought it back to my room! I got the liquid pain reliever, and also a liquid Vitamin that's compounded with everything! I thought that was cool! You can inquire to see if your hospital does that!

The support is definitely needed, I had my surgery on May 7, and this forum got me through! It taught me about patience, understanding, what to expect, and this is day 2, and everything I have read up on has really helped me! You can private message me, if you have any questions!

Today is the last day of my full liquid diet and I start 1 week of Clear liquids prior to surgery on the 14th. I go for all of my preop testing tomorrow morning so I'm excited to be getting close. I lost 8.8 lbs since last Wednesday by gained a couple back today so that was extremely discouraging. But I'm sure ups and downs are going to happen!

Joybell, you are such a pretty young woman, you will be so happy when its done, I just wish I could have done this 30 years ago, it wouldn't have been mostly for health then. How are you doing with your liquid diet, have you tried making popsicles with your Clear Liquids, the Isopure clear is high in Protein and makes pretty good popsicles. I'll be thinking of you on your day just before mine.

Thanks! It had gotten so much easier. Anytime I have hunger pains I just grab a bottle of Water and it goes away! 4 days to go.

Thank you! Surgery was a breeze, only problem was coming out of anesthesia (norm for me), my biggest complaint: GAS PAINS! Ugghhh!

I agree I feel like I'm a big gas bubble. When will this stop?

I'm scheduled for May 8th. Nerves are all over the place! Been on pre op diet since April 25th, and have lost 7lbs, trying to make it to Thursday,just get lightheaded at times, drinking Vitamin Water zero for electrolytes. "I really can't believe I'm doing this", which from what I've read, goes through most everyone's mind. I pray for all of us who take this bold step! Sending positive thoughts your way!

Hi, sooo yesterday was your day. Welcome to the loser's bench. How did it go & how are you doing today?

My surgery was a success! I came out of anesthesia (finally), and started taking ice chips, and started walking around. I did have a hard time sleeping the night of my surgery, due to meds, gas pains (the worst), and I think just the activity of the day. I got home yesterday (Friday), and today I feel pretty good, just not sure how much is too much to drink, been on sf popsicles, green tea, chicken broth, white grape juice mixed with half Water, and my trusty heating pad. The gas-x strips don't help much, so I'm gonna ask my doc about Phazyme. Other than that, I'm moving slow but steady, no real complaints, I was told to focus more on staying hydrated than the Protein, that comes next week with my full liquid diet!
