I was sleeved on 12/17 and so badly wanted some dressing. I stayed in on Christmas just to relax and to avoid all the different smells. I had my mom send me some dressing and cranberry so I could freeze it until I can have it when I'm able to eat regular food....I think it helps me just to look forward to eating it...

I get my staples remove tomorrow....do it hurt to get them remove?

When I was discharged from the hospital, I was told that I could remove the bandages and shower the next day...I use dial soap in the shower and have no problem with my incision except for the largest one itches sometime...other than that, they look great...ready for the staple to be removed though....

I was told to avoid straws also and sodas....

Hello all 12/17 sleevers....just got home this afternoon...would've been home earlier this morning but couldn't keep anything but water down on yesterday so they kept me a little longer today just to monitor me....was feeling kinda crappy but after taking the pain meds, I feel better....should be trying to get some sleep in but decided to post while I was better...will post more info tomorrow depends on how I feel....hope everyone is well and a speedy recovery...

Thank you Cathy....same to you....

Surgery in less than 24 hours.....nerves haven't kicked in yet....can't wait to loose some weight and see my actual knees..

10:15am for me so I'll really be hungry...

I'm on December 17 as well....good luck to all of you & congrats...

Congrats....keep us posted

I'm on day 11 and when I weighed in on Tuesday, I was down 8.4 pounds (actually). I'm on a protein diet with a shake for breakfast and lunch, one protein bar and one fruit a day, and then a senisble dinner. What I was doing if I got to hungry doing the day, I would alternate my meals and have the shake for dinner instead. Good luck to you on your surgery!!!1

Hi Jodi and welcome. I'm new also. I had my consultation at the beginning of the month and I had my EGD on Tuesday. Now I'm just awaiting my pyschological evaluation. My surgery is supposed to be sometime in December. After reading through a couple of the posts and seeing lots of before and after pics, I often ask myself why I didn't start this journey sooner. I enjoy reading the posts and everyday I get more and more excited. Good luck to you on your journey and whatever you decide to do.

Good luck....I just had mines done this past Tuesday....your throat will be a little sore afterwards..
