Torriluv87 300 Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) First I want to say happy surgery day to all the sleevers going in today! Good luck and here's to a safe outcome and recovery. Mine happens tomorrow. Is this really happening? I feel like the rug is going to be pulled out any minute now. It still doesn't feel real. It probably won't till I'm in recovery lol. I'm struggling with hunger and what I should pack. This is my first surgery and im getting kind of nervous. Not just about the actual surgery but losing my friend food. My life changing in what feels like an instant. Anyone having surgery tomorrow? I know it's for the best but I just never thought It would effect me like this. Anyone have any words of wisdom or encouragement? I feel like im going to miss something. Edited October 4, 2016 by Torriluv87 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think of it as losing your love of food, look at it as in making better choices. You will be great!! Wish you all the best for tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southbound 159 Posted October 4, 2016 @@Torriluv87 you will do great! Mine was quick too. No food funerals. Bam...two week diet and surgery. But I think it's been better that way. Cold turkey is usually the best way for me to quit something. I sitting in the waiting room now about to head in. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Jesus loves you!!!

Jess31581 24 Posted October 4, 2016 Hi guys!! So I got sleeved at about 8 am. I've been sleeping off and on most of the day - this is my first time looking at my phone. Not being hungry is the strangest feeling! The gas pain is tolerable - hasn't headed to my shoulder yet so it's all in my abdomen. For any ladies that have had babies - to me this feels like mild contractions that are just always there...ooh! Or bad period cramps. Thank you all for being my support I hope everyone else done today is feeling good and everyone yesterday. Everyone else: you guys got this! Our futures are limitless. Love to you all.

Travelher 915 Posted October 4, 2016 Ha jess. My surgery was this am too and that is exactly how I described it. Worried about sleeping tonight because I just got a roomie and he is attached to a lot of noisy beeping equipment Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
