I'm sitting here eating yogurt and my stomach is gurgling like crazy! I mean it's like each swallow and a huge gurgle and rumble and then sometimes a burp. It's very odd. I had to laugh cause its like my stomach is either rejoicing or rebelling. lol

Make that sleeve quadruplets. I was told to expect a 10-12 pound weight gain after surgery. I'm very thankful that that didn't happen to me. I'm down 8 pounds so far, but I have a feeling that starting tomorrow it will slow down because I'm starting my full liquids.< /p>

I'm pretty nauseous this morning. I had my surgery on Wednesday. I'm trying to drink my Unjury broth but for some reason it's tasting horrible today. I'm not as swollen as I was, thankfully. Good luck to everybody!

Day 2 was my worst day. But today (day 3) I'm feeling so much better. Fluids are going down much easier. I'm down almost 20 pounds from my highest weight on 9/18/12. My husband told a friend of ours that he could tell I was losing before my surgery. The best position for me was propped up on my bed. I even slept slightly propped up. I'm ready for Monday when I can start yogurt and sugar free pudding!

I had surgery the same day. Today has been a little rough. I'm struggling to get all if my fluids in just because I cannot get rid of this gas bubble in my chest. I've walked and used gas-x strips. Oh well it will eventually go away I hope. My doctor told my husband that I would be more sore and down today, and he was right. Last night I did have the thought "what have I done to myself?!" But I know it was all worth it. I'm trying to take it day by day and not worry about the scale while I heal. I was very nauseous this morning and could only drink about half of my Unjury broth before I felt sick but I haven't been nauseous since then. Congrats, sleeve sister!!

I'm not sleeping too well. It's not cause I hurt though. Every time my husband turns, I wake up. Every time I want to turn, I wake up. Lol But I'm 3 days post up and I think I'm feeling much better. I'm hoping I do better on getting my Fluid in today.

I was told no BC 2 weeks before surgery, and I have to wait 30 days after surgery to start taking it again.

Awesome job OTR!! I'm glad you've taken control of your life! I with for a large OTR trucking company doing FMLA, ADA and employee relations stuff and I would love if more if our drivers would take control of their life!

I was just converted from the band to sleeve yesterday. I did not like my band. It ended up causing problems. I'd go get a fill and couldn't eat..go get an infill and gain weight. I never found that "sweet spot". I do not regret my decision at all. I would definitely choose the sleeve over the band.

My mouth is so dry from this ear patch. Otherwise I'm good. Very little gas pain and just sore. I'm glad everyone is doing well!

Hey guys! My surgery was at 8:00 this morning. I'm doing very well. I had some nausea when I woke up but they took care of that. I got up to walks bit ago and was still woozy so I did one short lap. The pain is not bad but I am using my morphine pump just to stay ahead of it I've only used 2 mg lol. I will check in again later!

Wow...you have an incredible outlook on life that I love. Keep up the good work!

I go for my surgery tomorrow! I'm excited, anxious, nervous, scared and many more emotions!

Looks like we are going to have to start an Octosleevers Losers bench thread on the post op side so we can all stay together throughout this process ...

We have the same surgery date! I'm anxious but so excited! We have made the right decision. Are you prescribed an anti-acid? If so, ask your dictate if you can take it the morning of surgery. I can with a small sip of Water. We are going to do great!!

Sounds like I might just stick with the full liquids and only add in boiled eggs, grits and potatoes. Pureeing meat doesn't sound good to me lol
