  1. Was sleeved on the 11th and down 11lbs. Plus the 10lbs I lost during my preop. I haven't had any major problems. No nauseas ness or anything. Hope everyone is doing well. Good luck to all the upcoming sleevers
  2. I called my nurse. She said it probably has but if it continues through to tomorrow then to call them back.
  3. Ok so I'm paranoid. I'm having a sharp pain on my left side if I breathe in deep or belch. It just started this afternoon and I was sleeved on the 11th. Has anyone else experienced this?
  4. Sorry to ask this but I'm 5 days out and I'm curious as to how long before I should have a bowel movement. This scares me that I have not yet had one. Any body know?
  5. Sleeved yesterday, home today from the hospital. Was not as bad as I was expecting. The worst part was the first afternoon. They have me loritabs which does not work on me so it took them awhile to get sumn different. I'm home now and trying really hard to get my 48oz of liquids down. Hope everyone else doing well!!
  6. Being sleeved today...very nervous and excited. About to leave for the hospital
  7. Good luck everyone going in this morning to be sleeved. Hope you have a fast recovery
  8. Thank you everyone. This is one of the hardest decisions I've had to make but I know I can do it.
  9. Today's been very emotional for me. I'm on the verge of not having and the surgery and I'm scheduled for Tuesday. I've only lost 5lbs. The dietician said my liver was holding on to all the calories and fat it could. So now I'm scared that my liver will be in the way. I'm starving and feel like I'm gonna break. All I do at this point is cry. I'm honestly scared of dying or something going wrong.
  10. I cheated....head was killing me so I broke down and ate some cottage cheese...ugh. I have surgery on the 11th and I screwed up so close to date I hope it's gonna be ok.
  11. June 11th here in the Tulsa ok area. I'm very nervous, excited and scared. This preop diet is hard. I feel like I'm starving and I'm afraid I'm not getting enough to drink. I'd rather have nothing then the Breakfast essential packets mixed with Water and I'm burned out on broth already. Also wanted to say good luck to everyone having surgery this week
  12. Rough day today. Another day if this liquid diet and I'm starving but I can do this. Sugar free breakfast essentials mixed with water is not very good lol.
  13. Day 2 of liquids and I'm starving. This is sooo hard.
  14. June 11th here, Tulsa OK. Start my preop tuesday. Very excited, nervous and scared. Woild anyone want to be my sleeve buddy? I really need someone to help me through this and keep me pepped up during preop.
  15. Uugghhh surgery date changed to June 11th 2 days after I started my preop
  16. Thank you everyone for all the advice
  17. Thank you. I'm trying to stay positive. I know it's what's right for me. I've just gotta stay focused and remember how excited I was when I received my surgery date. I can't let the fear get the best of me. Thank you for replying, it's always calming to talk about it. Good luck to you
  18. June 4th here. Start preop tomorrow. It really just hot me tonight and now I'm in anxiety scared mode. I know this is normal for some people but I don't like it. I'm doing the "what if's". Is anybody else feeling this way?
