good to see your update! Today has been a good day for me as well. Hard to believe surgery was monday morning!

i drink carnation instant breakfast w no sugar added, my doc's office suggested it. i also like silk soy milk in vanilla and chocolate.

I was sleeved the same day as you! You are supposed to have bowel sounds, that's what the doctor's and nurses listen to in your abdomen. I had some loud growls this morning and i felt hungry i had 2oz of strained cream Soup and it stopped. I am praying for you to feel better soon.

I am a lpn (April 2011) and I start the RN bridge program in the winter. I plan to keep on until MSN!

full liquid sugar free diet: 24-32 oz nutritional beverage, 1/4 c cottage cheese, 3 oz light or greek yogurt w/o fruit, 3 oz of strained cream soup w/skim milk i am to rotate items every 3 hours and incorporate 24 oz of water or crystal light.

hey friends! Quick update. I arrived early to the hospital and to my surprise my surgery started early. I was in my room to see 1/2 of the noon news. I slept most of the day monday, I woke up every 3-4 hrs and would req pain meds then drift back off. I get this pressure like discomfort under my breast area that makes it hard to get comfortable. I was able to do i chips and sips of Water by late evening. This morning I woke up at 430 and was unable to go back to sleep until 6ish. I slept on and off most of the morning. I was discharged around 130 this afternoon. I took a nap once I got here, when I woke up i was on my stomach and in pain, i then threw up. Now I have these hiccups that are annoying and uncomfortable. I will admit that i am a bit cranky. Today i have eaten some vanilla pudding, crystal light, strained cream of chicken Soup, decaf unsweetened ice tea and some peach Jello no more than 3 oz of each thing and they have been spaced out. sucking on ice chips and sipping water to try and stay hydrated..........that's all for now my friends!

hey I'm @ Jewish monday for my sleeve w/ dr fegelman. Maybe we will see each other.

i have been on a post op diet for a month, lean cuisines and Protein shakes 5-6 small meals a day, I can eat up until midnight tonight then npo. I am doing carnation instant Breakfast (sugar free). I made a list but i called it the things i won't miss about being 100+ lbs. I am a federal employee and have been on furlough for a month so that is one plus i have no set time to be back to work. however my father is having open heart in a few weeks so i am praying all goes well and that i have no complications so i can help out with his recovery.

Monday is the day. I am excited, never before have I wanted to rush the weekend along! I have been reading allot of posts and watching you tube video. I have everything ready except my bag for the hospital. I heard some ppl say that a c section is worse in pain and recovery than vgs, i hope this is true because I had no issues with my c section or my tubal a few years ago. Just wanted to share what I am feeling! Thanks for listening.

So do we have 3 team members going in tomorrow?

August took its sweet time arriving! I don't think I will sleep much tonight, if I didn't have to take my son to preschool before I go to the hospital I would be extra early! Thank you to all who gave a kind word and that have sent out prayers and good vibes. My surgery is to start at 1055am update to follow!

This weekend has been longer than anyone I have ever known. What time are you sched for? I have to be @ the hosp 830 surg time 1055.

I will be sleeved on 8/1 also here in cincinnati ohio. I wish you the best and look forward to your progress!

830 arrival 1055 surgery time. I am also hoping for a 23 hour stay. don't get me to lying about wifi! I think that the hospital has it, if they do i will surly post updates if not i will be on when i get home and settled. my doc has no clear liquid requirement, I haven't had much of an appitie this week, its been so hot I have been drinking lots of Water and trying to drink my Protein drink. I'm so excited I have a sleeve sister!

I hope I'm a good usher!

Have you heard the c section thing also? I truly hope it's true, but even if it's not this will be worth it cause I hate not being able to be as active as I would like to with my son. Funny you say nervous.........I'm not nervous and I think it's because my daddy has to have bypass on 8/11 so I think I'm so focused on getting myself ready to be here for my family It hasn't set in. I hope I'm not a mess on monday morning!

yes or maybe just Sexxy!

thank you lady! I love good vibes!

I am so glad to read the responses, I go in on monday 8/1 and i am hoping that I have a smooth recovery

I get sleeved on monday 8/1, I'd love to hear how things are for you.
