Hello April, I sent you a friend request. Please add me to the FB page.

Sounds great Susie, thanks for sharing. I can't wait to try this in a few weeks.

Thank you Smoggy I will try it that way. I've actually been sleeping most of the day due to the pain meds but every time I wake up I try to walk and do the breathing exercises. I need to try and stay wake longer so that I can get in all my liquids.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I was able to drink 4 8oz cups of water, all of my beef broth and a tiny bit of the jello. Do you think thats too much? Im scared that I will be able to eat too much food when all the swelling goes down.

I actually don’t have any gas which I thought was strange. Most of my incisions do hurt with the exception of the one my stomach was extracted from. So I have pain in a large part of my right side. Then when I started drinking water yesterday every single sip I take I can feel it going all the way down and once it gets to my stomach I get a really bad cramp. I was release from the hospital yesterday at 4 but the nurses didn’t have me walking very much. I took 2 laps Monday night and then yesterday no one came to ask me to walk but my husband got me up and walking 3 times before we left the hospital. I hope this pain goes away soon, it is really uncomfortable.

Hey Patrick, I was wondering if you are having pain when you drink water. Everytime I swallow it is very painful and was wodering if everyone else if feeling the samething.

Hey guys the surgery went great yesterday but i have had a lot of pain mainly on my right side incisions. I will be going for my swallow test and hopefully that goes well and i can start on liquids. Sent from my DROIDX using VST

Thank you Smoggy, I wish you and all of the July 2nd sleevers the best of luck as well. God will be watching all of us. I am so ready, lets do this!!!!

I know exactly how you feel. My surgery is this monday and I am extremely scared and excited. I haven't been able to sleep for the past 4 days...I keep thinking they will change my date at the last minute. I am waiting for the doctor's office to call as we speak to give me the time I need to be at the hospital. wish me luck!!!

Smoggy, I feel the same way. I cant believe that next monday I will finally be sleeved. I am so anxious and can hardly stay still. I spend all day cleaning my already clean house just to keep myself occupied...lol

mylifeinpink, that sounds delicious. You guys have put my mind at ease knowing that I will be able to have limes again after surgery. I was really worried about it since they have a lot of acid.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how they tolerate acidic foods after being sleeved, specifically limes. Since I was a kid I have loved limes and put fresh lime juice on just about anything. My surgery is a little over a week away and Im having anxiety about not being able to tolerate one of my favorite things in the world. Help!!!

Hello Everyone, I was just approved on Monday by Cigna so my July 2nd date is a go. Im so nervous and excited at the same time and dont know what to do with myself. Im going for my final blood work in a few hours and that will be the last thing I need to do before surgery in two weeks. I officially start my pre-op diet on Monday though I started having 2 Protein shakes for Breakfast and lunch and a light dinner since Memorial day and have lost 7 pounds so far. Unfortunately I have some swelling in my hip preventing me from working out but I dont let get me down and will continue to do what I can before my surgery. Can you also add me to the list for July 2nd. I love all the support on this group.

I would have them resend it. the same thing happened to me, they kept telling me they were missing clinical documents. I had my insurance navigator send the documents 5 times as i called cigna constantly to ask about the status of my approval. after 2 weeks I finally got my approval today and I am scheduled for July 2nd.

when I had my pre-op blood work my doctor said my vitamin D levels were the lowest he has ever seen in his career. He prescribed vitamin D 50,000 mcg once a week. I also felt very energetic the first 2 weeks or so but then I felt normal. I kinda miss that little burst of energy monday mornings as I tend to always be tired.
