I can't believe that it's finally here! I have to get up at 5.45am tomorrow and my surgery is scheduled for 9am.

I feel nervous, excited, scared, anxious, happy so many emotions!! So ready to start this amazing and epic journey

I had mine today (June 6) and I'm so exited and glad it's over but I was very scared at first. Good luck on yours!!

Just remember the discomfort is temporary. You can do it! I pray for a successful surgery and easy recovery for you.

I had mine yesterday too. Right now it's 2:15 where I am and since I pretty much slept yesterday now I'm wide awake. Lol. Have you been up and walking and feeling good? I feel pretty good. How are you making out getting your liquids down? I'm not having any problems with it right now. I think what bothers me the most is my sore throat and dry mouth. I hope you're doing well.

I sent you a message because I couldn't figure out how to reply on here at that time

I have no sore throat but I did keep getting light headed when I walked and I don't start liquids until tomorrow because I have to do a leak test first

Okay, so woke up feeling alright in recovery. They gave me 2 anti-nausea drugs, pretty sure I kept drifting in and out of it cause I was there for like 3 hours.

When I came back to my room I vommitted a couple of times. Which was scary and weird. My surgeon said the vommitting is normal as long as it's not all the time. I felt to weird because I used to be able to feel this giant stomach contract and now I feel nothing lol.

Am really struggling to get Water in and keep it there but am still on a drip so should be okay.

Any suggestions for how to get fluids in and keep them there?? Oh and don't feel hungry at all which is awesome

I was sleeved June 7th as well! How are you doing now? I'm doing alright. I'm off the pain meds but still a little sore. Getting in enough Protein has been tough for me but I'm working on it.

[Jobey 177]

I'm good, still like you in a bit of pain but it's manageable. I stopped taking my pain drugs a couple of days ago. Only managing 30grms of Protein a day but doing really well with Water. Think I need to start doing some walking now that the pain's okay.
