Good luck! Hugs!!

OCTOBER 2011 SLEEVE ROSTER
The worst ones are when I get a visual plus sensation that I've fallen n wake up with weak legs freaked out. I'm guessing the vivid dreams and nightmares are coming from the pain meeds. Glad I'm not the only one either. I been feel like I move around and talk in the dreams too. THey are heavy and bizarre kinds.

OCTOBER 2011 SLEEVE ROSTER
I put in detail how I am on my "1st day of my journey" thread, but in short it was a hard day. Sharp tight side pains lower left side pains. Nausea. Attempted 1st protein drink n took all day to do about 8 sips of it. It fills u up super fast. Walked outside but overdid it in this hot weather. Very tired and weak. Weirdest dreams ever. Stopped taking some meds since found out tummy is not digesting them at all n told the nurse. Hair is starting to go a little more. But I thank goodness am supposedly on track. How r u doing minimommmy????? Thank you kindly for asking. Hugs

Pre Gastric Sleeve Op Liquid Diet: 13 Days To Go. Why Do I Have To Do It For So Long?
I did 2.5 wk preop liquid protein diet n on day of surgery no one even weighed me. Even when I asked. After surgery they said the liver was fine. I had a couple instances during that time where I had veggies and plain chicken even and jello.

Hair Loss Finish Line?
Ok I'm day four n I thought I had no hair loss but just now I was playing with my hair n about ten or so strands came out at once in hand :0( from underneath. I hope it does not progress. I think it's stress of surgery that's all (I hope).
