I’m going in for the sleeve at 9a on Monday as well! We’ll do great!

I had surgery December 11th I was sleeved so I’m about six days post opp and I don’t feel discouraged if anything I’m just excited to get going and be in the swing of things. It’s totally okay with being nervous before your surgery trust me I was but the end results are gonna be so worth.

Hey there! So I’m 3 days post op today. I started liquids yesterday and it went right thru me! Terrible diarrhea. I don’t know if I drank it too fast and that was a dumping reaction or why it happened. I felt no restriction when I was drinking. I’m anxious to talk to the Dr today. The Nurses here don’t speak English so I was unable to ask them.

i should be released today, go to my hotel in San Diego, then fly home tomorrow. The pain is bearable, but they are removing the bandages and drain this morning so I think I’ll feel better. My glucose is low, so they just brought me a big cup of apple juice. Yummy!!

im going to try to ease off the pain meds because I can’t stay awake. All in all, the last three days have been rough, but not unbearable. I just keep looking forward knowing these next few weeks are a very small sacrifice compared to my new healthy body!!

So now it is 5 days post op, and I'm finally home! The plane ride was horrible, and I didn't drink enough so was dehydrated by the time I got home, but it is so nice to be home! I found out it was the whey in Isopure and the sugar in the juice that was giving me dumping syndrome! I've put a call into my Dr. to see what I need to do for Protein until I can go to full liquids in four days.

Beware of the sugar!!!

Other than that, I walked a lot today, have had little pain, no nausea, and no dumping, so things are definitely improving. Also, I haven't napped today, so I think I'm getting back on schedule.

Nerves are seriously setting in! Tomorrow morning is GAMETIME. I know I'll be fine, just really nervous.
