Home From Hospital!
I got home and I am really sore but I haven't has any nausea at all. So that's exciting!! It's kind of surreal that Im really here with a gastric sleeve. I've waited e very long time for this. Did anybody else just go through the surgery? I keep sipping on water and broth but I am scared I will over do it so I am taking TINY sips. Any help with that would be great. What else are you guys including on your liquid diet?

Advice Please?
I am on day 5 of my liquid diet and surgery is in 2 days. I just am not feeling like myself at all and I am wondering if this is normal. Like I am NOT pleasant to be around right now and I am being mean to people I love lol! It's not funny at all because I am quite upset about it. I don't know I'd I am stressed out or ify body is freaking out from no food or what. Anybody else go through this?

Binge Eating?
I'm so glad you posted this. I have always been a binge eater and I'm scared that the surgery may not be able to change that. I sure hope it does! I feel that for me the hardest part will be the pre op diet.

Surgery Is Set For May 1St! Im So Excited I Cant See Straight!
I weigh 260 and I am 5'3. Getting my sleeve done is honestly all I can think about!! I guess my fear is that the surgery won't change my appetite. My dr said that I won't be as hungry. I am self pay so I just want this to be a successful procedure. Any input from somebody would be great. .
