Thanks for all the kind words. My abs hhrry like hell where he cut through the muscle.
Just.did.my.first. 2 laps in a row. Leak test went ok so now had first food. Definitely dont have much of an appetite.
Gas still hurts a bit feel better than yesterday though.
Wishing next week would hurry up and get here. Can't wait to get home and get clearance to go swimming, then I'm really gonna start rocking.

My wife gave the dog her left over genos pizza bites...while I sit n sip on Protein concoctions....and while I couldn't eat it if I wanted...a part of me wanted to get on the floor and fight her for it lol....anything pizza really..major head issue...
But I am not hungry at all..and while the want or desire is there...I know that its all in my mind...

Good 2 know...id wait at least to month two...think I'm going to find or create a meatball or casserole that tastes like the best parts of pizza without all the carbs when I get back to real food.

Well, the time has finally come. It is July and tomorrow at least 18 of us (I think) will be getting sleeved! viva la July 2nd! lol.
I saw a similar thread for June and thought this would be a good idea for support while in the hospital recovering.
I will be going in, in 28 hours to be exact. Then my life changes forever....I wish everyone the best of luck especially my independence day siblings all 28 or so of us being sleeved the first 4 days of July.
Good luck safe journeys if going to Mexico and I will see you on the losers bench where we will all be winners!

Going home in an hour kinda nervous, still afraid of complications showing up.
I have like no desire at all to eat or drink, getting 64 oz is really tough.
Definitely think this sleeve is gonna keep me in losers land, if my appetite stays like this.

Welcome to the forum being part of this group has been as much a life changer as the surgery.
I had mine on Monday 7/2/12, and still recovering, when they rolled me into surgery I started praying like none other and I was literally trembling in the or... But in retrospect it wasn't as bad as I imagined.
I kept thinking of all the things that could go wrong even though I'm as likely to get in a car crash as have complications.
Don't lose your nerve you can do this I'm a big wimp and I made it lol.
Good luck!

Wow 18 people on July 2nd that's a LOT. 26 sleevers will be sleeved before the 4th of July -- how awesome is that? So many people getting their 'independence day'.....freaks the crap out of me how close this is though.... lol

Good luck beth, will keep you in prayers you will do awesome.

Patricks wife here he is still groggy from anethesia but asked me to post an update. He is doing well surgery went well and so far he has gotten out of bed and had a small glass of Water. Pain is managed and all is going well.

With all this gas floating in my abdomen you have no idea how good some flatulence feels lol.
Wonder if I couldve made soda with it since it's mostly co2 lol.
Anyone else enjoy farting post op?

Doesn't hurt as bad as I thought it would.

At the hospital now and am on full liquids, they sent up a really good cream of potato Soup. They liquified it for me and tasted just like mashed potatoes and gravy.
Cream of chicken and rice soup liquified taste just like chicken dumplings. Mmm.

Well since being sleeved monday morning I've lost about 20 pounds, I think it was from the saline solution iv plus having catheter, lost a lot of Water weight. But have been walking some and only eating 100 or 200 calories a day. Plus how ever much half a stomach weighs lol.
I was 645 monday, now scale says 619.
