I was sleeved yesterday! I felt great earlier today at the hospital with minor gas pains & nausea but once home the nausea began to feel worse. Especially after eating. But popsicles & walking are helping me feel better. Thinking of mixing some unflavored Unjury Protein Powder to some crystal light & making popsicles to help get my Protein in these next few days. Glad to hear so many Fellow March Sleevers are doing so well!

Sleeve done on march 5, spent 2 days at forest park in Dallas ... Wonderful staff and beautiful facility. Now 4 days post op, having pain in the left upper abdomen , it was not as simple as I thought it would be.... Everyday better and better! Love this thread , I've learned a lot from you all.. Glad I'm on the other side , good luck to all ...!!!!

Bald is beautiful! I think men being bald is sexy!
Of course you DO know what they say about bald men don't you?
Men who are bald in the front are good thinkers
Men who are bald in the back are good lovers
Men who are bald in the front and back just think they are good lovers!

Actually feeling pretty good. Thank goodness and knock on wood, the gas has not been bad. Soon as I start to feel it, I just walk it off. I'm sore and uncomfortable but not in what I would call pain. Got to come home yesterday and that always helps. Worst thing is I'm fighting a sinus headache. Was able to get about 30 grams of Protein yesterday from the Isopure. sleeping is not fun though, I'm a side sleeper and that is not working for me right now.
I will sit back and and wait for week 2.

This is why some of us disagree. We are not embarrassed, ashamed, liars, vain, or bitchy.. Yet, because we make the choice to keep our business private we are called names? We don't say anything wrong on here, other than try to make others understand our feelings about being private... Sheesh!

And here we see bitchy at its peak

If i take to many sips i will feel it going down(ouch)... I stayed in the hospital 2 days and just getting home this morning congrats everyone were now on the losers bench

Hi Guys my surgery was March 4! I was knocked out until today lol Too much pain meds. The first day is tough but u can make it. Good luck to the rest of March sleevers

Would you stop please? I am only 2 days post-op and you made me laugh. In my little world right now, laughing, coughing and especially sneezing are forbidden! don't make me banish you from my little queendom!

You're right!
It is always nice when your pants are falling down too at least see your panties, and they are cute

I am going to tell you a big secret to feeling good and having confidence all the way through this WLS journey. We all have moments where our clothes don't fit right. Even when they are getting too big and loose, it can make us feel frumpy and awkward. Sooo...the secret to always feeling sexy...?
Panties! Buying new panties are just as important as having clothes that fit. Go through your drawers and throw out the granny panties, the Hanes her way with holes in them...and get yourself a little something sexy or functional...your choice. Just make sure you feel confident in them and they fit. Those who are girdling it up....that's cool. Just make sure they aren't stained up or falling apart.
I can wear baggy sweats and still feel like a Goddess with a little lace or ruffles! That is just a little tip from how I roll.

I am up early. I live in SD and have decied to drive to the border park my car, walk into TJ and catch a cab to Mi Doctor Hospital. Having surgery with Dr. Garcia. My best friend and my Mom were sleeved 2 years ago with Dr. Vamboonen. I was there for both. I chose Dr. Garcia because of all your comments and my experience as a guest for the other sleeves I went to on TJ. I will keep everyone posted. Right now im starving! Gonna get my babies off to school then I am on the road! food doesnt taste as good as it feels to be thin and I am ready to be on the loser bench with all of you.

So I bought some Isopure about 2 months ago in preparation of my surgery, and it has just been sitting there. Every time I opened the fridge it laughed at me, "Haha you wasted a lot of money on us!" So now that I am 8 days postop I decided to bite the bullet and try it. First out of the fridge was the pineapple Orange banana. From my readings on here, there is a very clear line when it comes to Isopure Zero...you love it, or you hate it. So here it goes. My mom laughed as I crinkled my face in anticipation of my first sip. I was expecting this horrible cough Syrup tasting concoction, but wait, it wasn't that bad. I went in for a second sip and yeah, I can do this. I can see where some people say it leaves a dryness in your mouth, but maybe that isn't so bad and it will help me sip more. I mixed it half and half with Orange G2 Gatorade and it really helped cut that dryness. I haven't tried the other flavors, so we will see how those work out.
On a side note, I keep losing track on how much fluids I'm getting in. I tried just remembering and that doesn't work. Then I tried writing it down and couldn't remember where I wrote it lol. So my uber genius and completely stupid solution was two paper cups, 8 pinto Beans, and a 1 cup measuring cup. Each time I measure out my cup, I move a bean over. I know...it's stupid, and I can't believe I just admitted it!

Noticed I can eat most anything just not alot. Crazy how little I need to feel full!! I am happy I can still eat whatever!! Just very careful. I am having a hard time to remember to eat when I am busy... Love the sleeve. Top reason I chose this over the bi-pass.

Well lunch consisted of 1/3 of a Popsicle lol that was all I could get down. I have been walking the halls well, though. I am simply not hungry. I know it will not be that way forever, but it's a nice start.

I did it! Sleeved this morning. So far so good!

BOOM!!!! And let the fireworks begin. Dang, getting sleeved tomorrow and can't even sit back with some popcorn and enjoy the show.
