I was also sleeved Aug 6th....I've been drinking decaf hot plain tea, Powerade zero, broth, and some premier Protein chocolate drink and I am able to eat sugar free popsicles.

I also had terrible nausea and finally got a patch that goes behind my ear and it made all the difference in the world. i am on clear liquids for 3 weeks as well, i am not really hungry though. I've been getting in 30-35 oz of liquids. each day is better.

Hi everyone. Its my 2nd full day home and im feeling much better. I was in pain yesterday, i had severe nausea and dry heaved and even threw up my liquid pain medicine. I called the doctor and got a nausea patch and oh my gosh im like a different person today. Yesterday i cried like 5 times and was so uncomfortable. Today i am able to walk around more get up by my self easilier and i have drank so far 18 oz of powerade zero and my protein drink and had one sugar free popsicle. What people say is true u feel a little better everyday. But i can relate to everyone who had a difficult first few days. I still have some pains here and there and feel very sore. I have been taking gas x strips and tums to settle my stomach.

Hey everybody! I have been sleeved for 48 hours now and am not feeling so great. Very nauseaus, a good amount of pain and very uncomfortable. Am I alone in this? Seems like everyone else is having such an easy time and good recovery.

I'm sleeved, I've been sleeping almost all day. I've had lots of dry heaving which hurts pike a b***h. Lots of abdominal pain. Not horrible though no regrets..

From 4-6:30 am, I woke up every 30 min....I guess I am anxious about this morning. I am ready and just need to pack my toothbrush and I'm off to the hospital. Check back in later....

Yay!!!!! Good luck to us all!

i have the exact same times tomorrow for my surgery! Im nervous but excited and ready. I cant believe i will have a different life and relationship with food starting tomorrow....woohoo

Glad you are having a pretty good day! Haha about tooting, congrats!

Love this!!

Wow, congrats, sounds like you are doing good...

Can you take the Calcium with your Multivitamin??

Hey Everyone- What kind of chewable calcium are you going to take? What kind of chewable multivitamin are you going to take? What kind of Vitamin D are you going to take if you need to take it? Thanks, just shopping around, need to finalize these before Monday's surgery!!!

IT'S AUGUST!!!

Hi, I was out of town all weekend....so many posts to catch up on... Patty 31 Va 318, 300, 170 I'm married to my soul mate, have a almost 3 year old, teach kindergarten. **this weekend I told my mother in law, brother and sister in law that I was having this surgery in a week, it surprisingly went well and they all were supportive. Now I need to decide if I'm telling my sister and best friend. Still on liquid diet, but ate some awesome watermelon yesterday...

Wow, its great to hear from other sleevers in the area. I'm also on Aug 6th, at fair oaks. I can't believe it is only a week away....I'm nervous and excited. I agree the sleeve is a tool and I'm ready for the life style change for me and my whole family. We should keeping in touch on how things go. I do plan on attending support groups at fairoaks. Good luck to you all

I am so excited I have only one more nut appointment on monday, then my 6 mths are done and my stuff is being sent in to insurance wow it was always a distant thing (the end) but now its here... Sweet!

I had to stop my birth control a month before and can't take it for a month after to help prevent blood clots. Sorry hubby but I am not getting pregnant and messing up this surgery.

I use it to marinate chicken. I usually do the yogurt with hot sauce, refridge it for at least 30-60 min, and grill or bake. The chicken stays very tender and tastes great. You can probably add any flavor/spice you want to the yogurt instead of hot sauce...

I can't wait to try this and the post with the homemade sauce....yum

Haha!!

So I spent the day at the hospital for my preop stuff. 7 am: chest cray, gallbladder ultrasound, blood work, urine work, ekg. 9-12: nutrition class at hospital. 1:15: nurse interview. 2-4: nutrition class at my surgeons office. It was a long day, but I learned a lot. It is also my 4th day of liquids and I am feeling cramps in my stomach, but over all ok. TMI: my BM's are weird. All my test result came out normal, so I am ready! QOTD: I would totally get together next summer with our group.
