Hi all,Hope everyone is doing ok. Had my surgery on Monday the 16th so I am three days out. Minimal pain and almost feel like myself. I was so prepared for pain but my tummy hasn't been very bad I have a a lot of severe headaches though. I am so happy I have been sleeved, I'm ready to start a new life! The hard part right now is getting in enough fluids, I get full so easily. And I am NOT hungry at all, I really wasn't sure that could happen for me. My hubby is baking for the household and it just doesn't look so good and any thing with any fat in it looks kinda gross to me right now. They are all skinny and so it is great for them, glad I don't feel tempted in the least. Everyone is very concerned if the food might bother me. TO those recovering i wish you smooth sailing and to those who are waiting, just know that it isn't too bad really and you will be here feeling the promise of a new, better, healthier and more active way of living!

JANUARY 17TH IS MY DATE WHAT'S YOURS

YEAH I KNOW IT'S CORNY:}

hi, I'm Willow, we have the same surgery date-April 18. I started my pre op diet a little early, 2-3 protien shakes a day w/ a small protien meal. And of course crystal light , sugar free Jello, popsicles, broth and I sometimes have a light yogurt. I,ve been doing this 1 mo and I got on the scale and am down 30 lbs as of today. Just keep at it your gonna get there, in my first 2 wks I dropped 18 lbs, of course everyone is different but I wanted to share and offer you some hope and support. Its such an emotional roller coaster at this juncture, I got a call from my cardiologist and they said my insurance wasn't going to cover my chemical stress test and it was so hard to stick to my diet that night as I sunk pretty low but I just told myself to wait it out and see if my doc could work it out with billing--well the option that i have is a treadmill stress test which scares me I am at 288, but I already started walking a few weeks back and I can stationary bike about 4 miles in twenty min. Sooooo, i,m hoping it will be ok, I go for the test on april 1. I just can't let myself think that I won't be able to do it and get my clearance. I,ve wanted this surgery for 5 years and finally made up my mind that it was going to happen this year last summer. I am so happy that I have found the this site with so many supportive ppl willing to stick together, good luck on your journey, keep in touch I'd love to hear how your experience is going....
