Thank you guys. That makes complete sense. And congrats dreamsleever... New wardrobe in your near future and a pamper day?

Yesterday I was okayed for the full liquid part of the post op diet. I know what to eat, how to eat it, and when to stop. But don't know how often I'm supposed to eat. If I wait till I'm hungry I'll never eat. Getting my liquids in, just not sure when to eat.

Congratulations honey. I was sleeved last week and am a Mississippi girl as well. Keep us updated on how everything is going :-)

Thanks guys. I needed encouragement. Just felt like it was in vain for a moment. Still mourning food slightly and being on clear fluids made me want that burger (thanks to tv) and knew I couldn't. Moment of weakness. Thank again.

I got sleeved 4-18. My weight when I got sleeved was 258. When I left the hospital I was 267 from all the fluids and junk. Leaving the hospital I am only on clear liquids (ie. Broth, sf popsicles, water, crystal light). I today am 253. Is that right? Only 5 pounds? Really?

I am one day out of my surgery and I must admit it was so much easier than I thought it would be. I didn't get a morphine pump like some, but didn't need it. Was drinking clear liquids by night fall and getting the same for breakfast. I would do this all over again.

My insurance is great. I lucked out and for the whole thing I paid $1000 out of pocket. $700 to the doctor, and $300 to the hospital. But that is the max out of pocket expence that I would have with ANY situation.

Good morning all. My name is Star and I joined the site a couple of days ago. I have been quietly soaking in all the information that I can for my journey ahead. On Wednesday, 4/18, I will be sleeved. I am so nervous, but a lot of the posts on here have helped ease my nerves... Just a tiny bit lol. I am 29 and have been big my WHOLE life. So to think with the help of this tool I am about to receive, I will be able to finally get my body closer to where I want it. I think we have all felt that we are thin people trapped in a large body at least at one point or another. So I just wanted to thank you all for posting your knowledge and experiences so that people like me (scared out of my brain) can get a better understanding as to what might happen to someone who is about to go through it. Thank you again. Kisses, *Star*
