Sleeve countdown!

Are you getting your fluids down OK?

[Okie_RN 27]

Umm not really lol!! But I'm getting better each day. I got Premier Protein so I could get the Protein requirements with fewer shakes. They have 30 g each and I can get almost two down now and I get a bottle of Water. I had some post op issues so I got some of my Fluid from popsicles too. But I don't think I have hit the "suggested amount" yet. It's getting easier though.

That's what I'm worried about is getting enough liquids and Protein

[Okie_RN 27]

It's hard.. But I am sure we will all succeed!

7wks post op and things get easier each and every day! Once you have the surgery you simply need to allow your tummy time to heal. I still have issues with liquid and Protein intake. But tomorrow is a new day and I'll try again tomorrow hugs of support!

Four days till surgery ... Kind of freaking out a bit!!

[Stephie76 6]

Don't freak out ShineShine! I'm trying NOT to freak! :/

There is no freaking out! Yes that first 24 hours is a bit uncomfortable and you are only human - you will doubt yourself until you are in the OR and under the good sleepy stuff.

I have to be honest - the hardest part for me was the gosh darn gas bubble and the moronic fool in the next room who was having a party with his family. I do believe that when I finally was able to expel some of the gas bubble I may have scared them into leaving.

The surgery was by far the best decision I have made in the past 20 years and I am so happy to say that my primary care doctor was so supportive of my decision. She is my champion. I have more energy - my children are benefitting from the healthier eating and my husband is having the surgery on the 8th of January. I am so happy you are making this choice for yourself. I am a firm believer in this surgery and I have finally lost the baby weight (15 years later but hey, who's counting).

Stephie and ShineShine - ask me anything you want any time - I am an open book and I have no issues sharing and congrats on making this decision

Very nervous though. Almost to where I've had 2nd thoughts. Did anyone else feel that way?

Every single day. Sometimes I still wonder if I did the right thing. Lol I know I did, you just sometimes have those thoughts.
