Yay! For you!

I started driving day 7! No pain meds on board. I thought about the air bag and I. Am short so I just alittle further back ! (lol) The hospital would not let me drive myself home! too sore! Iv pains not a good idea:) Good luck !

My surgery was 8/6, today I almost went out and mowed the lawn! Lol what a difference a day makes . All external incisions healed except for one stubborn one! I set my phone every 2 hours, I am either eating or drinking. Part of my beginning issues was I would fall asleep and lose track of time. Journaling is helping too.

Sleep well! Will pray that all goes well! See you on the other side. Remember :small sips of water very important! Sugar free Popsicles helped in the beginning too!

Although, still a little tired, can't sleep! I am encouraged by the many success stories. No regrets!

Good luck to all of y'all tomorrow!!

Good luck! Once you are taking liquids, remember 2oz every 15 min, !

Good for you! I tell myself that everyday since surgery! I like best is the no hunger!

Thanks for the encouragement ,I put myself on a schedule : wake up :hydrate 8oz Water then have my protien shake an hour later.(it takes an hour to drink 2 oz every 15 minutes) lol.......then 16 oz water until an hour before lunch......usually thickened Soup with Protein 4-6oz ......wait an hour another waterbottle ......then dinner more of the same then last before bed herbal tea.....2 days this schedule has worked.......

8/6 was my surgery. I am only weighing on Fridays , more dramatic , lol Starting to get used to 3 meals and 4 bottles of water per day! Pain is gone, just tired alot. I have a giant bruise on the left side of my belly still full liquids !

Woot woot! Some of the surgical swelling down! Started protien sips and full liquid today !

Post op day 3 , had to go back to hospital ! Dehydration , it sneaks up on ya' ! Iv fluids pain and nausea meds! Should be home in short order.

God be with all us sleevers tomorrow ! Prayers for all!
