Good luck on your surgery too!

You're very welcome. A little sleep can do wonders. LOL! Good luck on your surgery and please keep us posted after.

Welcome to the pre-op diet. You are likely not getting sick. It's because most sugar free protein drinks cause a laxative effect and you're eating veggies too. You're doing a good job of flushing your digestive tract. That is probably making you feel a little sick along with being nervous about surgery. Don't worry.

About two weeks for me. Since it was a laparoscopic surgery the weight lifting restrictions were very short. They advised me not to go overboard right away, but that was more a concern for me passing out than harming something.

It seems that you are the exception to the rule. It would be cool to know why some are so cold and some are not. I am sitting at work with a heating pad on my lap. Guess you can tell which group I'm in. LOL!

I remember dreaming about food too. I'm pretty sure I was chewing on my pillow a couple times.

I went through the same thing. I would have wrestled a bear for something solid and tasty.

I'm a month out and my stomach still makes a lot of noise. Mostly when I'm laying down though.

I would think that as long as they are clean and stay by your feet it wouldn't be a problem. I'd be scared to let them up near my stomach though. It would probably be painful if they accidentally kicked or scratched you on or near an incision spot.

Same here, about 24 hours after surgery.

Good luck with your surgery. It'll be over before you know it.

For almost five years. I actually had two of them. I had an erosion with the first and it had to be removed less than a year after it was put in and then the second one I had to have a port revision after 2 years and then it slipped and it had to be removed. So, I opted to get the sleeve when they removed the band. I'd have to say I did not have very good luck with lapband. While it was working it was good, but I guess that wan't meant to be for me in the long run.

That's cool. Mine was supposed to be about 2 hours and 15 minutes. It ended up lasting a little over 4 hours. The surgeon had trouble with scars from the lapband he had to take out. I was kind of in sucks-to-be-me-ville for a while. I'm glad that's over with.

That was a quick turn-around. I'm glad the program I went through plans for two nights. I don't think I would have been anywhere near ready after just one day. How long was your surgery?

Not sure who you were asking, but I'll answer anyway. I was in the hospital for two days - surgery on a Thursday and went home Saturday.

Yeah, moms are not allowed to get sick or slow down for any reason. The earth would absolutey stand still!

Wow, you're off and running already. Be careful not to overdo it. I know for the first 2-3 weeks after my surgery I got tired really easily. Just make sure you're getting enough rest so that your body can heal.

I was sleeved December 13th. Today was my one month checkup . It's cool that you were able to get up and around. I think it actually makes you feel a lot better.

So, how is your first weekend after sleeving?

Very cool.

How are you feeling today?
