I was sleeved on 9/9 too. Those first few days truly were awful. I read on someone's post that liquids go down much better if you are sitting up. I tried it and find it really works. Anytime I am laying and sipping, I get that weird painful lump in my chest.
My surgery is tomorrow, September 9. I'm so excited, I have a lot of nervous energy so I'm cleaning everything. I am also very hungry so I keep looking at the clock wishing it could move a little faster.
My surgery is September 9. I noticed several of you mentioned a pre-surgery laxative. Nobody has mentioned one to me.... Is that weird. Seems like it would be necessary.
OMG! I just had a mouthgasm. Now I can't wait till Monday to start my Protein shakes. I might even skip the Cheesecake Factory and make the Key Lime Pie Protein shake instead. Yummy!
Yes. Two weeks of Protein shakes an a small meal. While I realize that one day I will be able to eat a little cheesecake again, I know it will never be like it is now. So while I don't intend to get a huge meal and totally pig out, I'm going to enjoy every big ole mouthfull of delicious creamy cheesecake.
So yesterday I found out I will be sleeved on September 9. Which means I only have 5 more days to eat a favorite food. I am planning to drive an hour to the nearest cheesecake factory on Saturday to get a slice of cheesecake. Did anyone else have a food that they just had to have before starting their new life?
Finally, finally, finally got my surgery date today. It's september 9. I have been jumping up and down with excitement all day. Yeah September Sleevers!
