???? Calling all March Sleevers....let's support each other!????

It's taken me 2 days to drink a Vitamin Water Zero. On my pre-op diet, I was drinking like 4 of them a day.

I did manage to get almost an entire Protein shake in today.

Currently I've been nursing a sugar free Jello for like 45 minutes.

We've been snowed in the past 2 days, but tomorrow I need to get out of the house. I've been staying with my Mom and although I've been getting a lot of knitting done, I want to run some errands, take my cats to the vet and go to the post office.

I haven't had any pain, which I'm so grateful for. I am longing to get back to my own apartment and sleep in my own bed. I think I'll shoot for Saturday for that.

My surgery was March 2nd! First night n day was pretty discouraging as my BP n heart rate were out of control but by Wednesday I felt better n although my numbers had improved they were not good enough to send me home but this morning I was 100% no pain pills since early Tuesday morning as they made me nauseaous but as soon as I stopped taking them I was able to start drinking n sipping my broth n ate a full popcicle! I'm do glad to be home n so far so good on my sleeve! ❤️

I don't feel like eating or drinking anything. I have the worst Migraine. Trying to sip broth. Only able to get a half a cup of broth. But on the bright side I really have no pain. Painkillers were making me barf. So my dr told me to tough it out.

I am on day 4 and it seems to be going good for me. I have V8 juice, broth and swansons has some with different flavors. Muscel Milk are my favorite Protein shakes. The first day is the worst because I was so hungry but now I am doing really good. 4 down 10 to go, my surgery is the 17th. Good luck...

My surgery is just 3 days away. I am excited and scared. I know everything will be fine. I finish my 14 day pre opt diet on Saturday. Then I have to do liquids only for Sunday. Surgery is scheduled for 8 am so I have to be there at 6 am. Keep posting all these encouraging messages. They really help.

I'm new here but really excited. I am converting from Lapband to the sleeve. I had a terrible time with my band. It slipped and it has been without a fill for about 4 years. I received my call yesterday saying my insurance had approved my surgery. I started my 2 week preop diet yesterday and scheduled to have my surgery on March 18.

I start my preop diet next Wednesday. Not worries about it, I think I'll do well. I'm nervous for surgery on the 16th but I'm super excited.

I am avoiding telling people about my surgery because I have already had some comments from a family member and I don't want to hear it from others.

I told one friend last night (because we babysit her kids and will need her to make other arrangements). She is super skinny, has not struggled with weight loss. She said some things that bothered me. She said after all the money I'm spending that I shouldn't get back into eating junk food and not following my diet and said she supports anyone who makes this decision and sticks to eating healthy. This after I told her I have been on a diet for myself for the past month and have lost 17lbs.She has never seen me eat other than at gatherings on a rare occasion. I also never mentioned money.

I felt like I had to explain myself and tell her I would stick to my diet, which I am because there is no point in going through all this suffering and sacrificing to not. I am very motivated to what I want to do but this is why I don't want to tell other friends. Maybe I am being too sensitive but I just don't want to hear it. I kind of felt like she didn't think I could do it.

Had my surgery on Tuesday. Unfortunately it didn't go as planned and had to do emergency surgery a couple of hours later. Had four pints of blood and was finally released today. My experience has certanly made me second guess this surgery. I wish everyone much luck. I may have to go back to the hospital if I have any symptoms of low hemoglobin.

Oh my gosh! What went wrong? It's been a bit rough for me since Tuesday but nothing like you, I'm so sorry to hear that. Please keep us updated.

My issue is pain in my left shoulder. It's pretty painful. Makes me a little anxious wondering if it's a heart thing. How long does this last?
