cushy 117 Posted April 7, 2014 My appt. for 4/15 to get my surgery date has been moved up to 4/9, I can't believe that after waiting so many months and having major delays I will finally get a surgery date in 2 days. YIPPY!!!!! I'm so excited and nervous and ready to start my pre- op 2 week liquid diet, I look forward to knowing that I will never be this size again. I will be truly committed to my sleeve.

Jessiegirl30 149 Posted April 7, 2014 To be honest the first 2 days after surgery was tough I wanted to sleep all the time the nurses were forcing me to drink a lot of Water (which hurt) I was not in to much pain thankfully but yesterday was a breakthrough I felt so much better I came home from hospital and had a very small amount of puréed food today is the same lots of people on here have told me to walk as much as I can to get rid of the extra gas build up you get after surgery so I will do that also I find warm liquid like teas or Soup go down much easier than cold drinks I am not hungry at all which is good also rest as much as you can after surgery even in 4 days I have learnt this . Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
