Pain is not to bad. Had pain meds at midnight and don’t feel I need them right now. Walked a total of 5 laps last night. Very happy about that. Staff here is just amazing!!! Today is going to be great!!! I can tell. Glad things are looking up for you :-) 2 Cjackson82 and ahnormandeau reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahnormandeau 47 Posted March 3, 2018 Just saw the doctor. She has moved me to stage 2. Said everything looks great. Blood count is a Little low so they will watch that. Definitely staying one more night. But that’s ok. Did 4 laps in the halls this morning.Pain has its moments. Only had Tylenol at midnight then didn’t ask for anything until 6:30 this morning. Gave me double hit. So that part is getting better as well. 1 Light&Fluffy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeeCTexas 13 Posted March 3, 2018 Hi all. I was a March 1st and the first two days were rough for me. The gas was bad but not awful. But the pain was rough. I really couldn’t do Water but watered down Gatorade worked much better. Ice pops were really helpful. At no point did I have narcotics - which was probably why the pain was bad. I’m on a mixture of Tylenol, gabapentin and some other type of pain neuro something or other. I thought I made a mistake yesterday but today I’m much more clear headed. Heating pad helped a ton too. Thanks for that suggestion. Hope all of you are doing well. 8 mandiejo, Apple203, ahnormandeau and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eventer826 35 Posted March 3, 2018 I'm starting to get a little nervous. It's all coming into focus. How LIFE CHANGING this is. I feel like I've been so cavalier up until now. Surgery is on Tuesday.

ahnormandeau 47 Posted March 3, 2018 Stage 2 full liquids? HW 241SW 238CW 224GW 130Sleeved 3/1/18Yes full liquids. They said they will try stage 3 tonight. Protein Shakes. I did just eat about 1/4 of chicken broth. So far belly has handled it ok. Nervous eating because not sure when to stop. Didn’t want to freak my belly out. Walking is going great. I’ve made 16 trips down the halls today. 2 ready4change88 and Light&Fluffy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready4change88 40 Posted March 3, 2018 Does anyone else get nervous when you read the posts from fellow sleevers that lost 15-20 in the beginning and then nothing else? Must admit it does make me a little nervous. It has got to be so devastating to Work so hard to get to this point and then you lose such a little amount of weight. I guess everybody is different I was sleeved 2/27 and as of today 3/3 I’ve already lost 8 pounds 2 ahnormandeau and Schwarz64 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cjackson82 39 Posted March 3, 2018 So confused and concerned when my surgeon told me he would only be removing 50% of my stomach!!! My surgery is today!? Help?Oh my! I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or bad. Did you request pictures? My surgeons office said they remove about 70%. How did things go for you? How are you feeling now?
