6 months seems so long but once you're rolling in for your new sleeve you'll be thinking "wow I can't believe this day is here already!" Take the time to really start taking care of yourself:)

That's awesome! I can totally relate to all of the feeling because I had all of those feelings pre-op. Day of surgery will feel surreal. Day after is a little rough but totally do-able. And then every day after gets a little (some days a lot) better. Walk, walk, walk! The more you walk the faster you start to feel "normal". Well that's my two cents lol Good luck to you:)

I'm also 8 days out and have been trying different things too. Protein shakes have been hard to choke down so I started trying some soft foods (before my NUT's time) just to get my protein in and I've tolerated almost everything (except chicken as well). I have yet to have a full feeling, not sure I can actually feel my stomach. I don't do anything SF because it has the sugar alcohol in it and it does cause me stomach pains. I quick smoking, gave up my "occasional" glass of wine (or two), and can't eat...yes I'm really pleasant these days...hardly.
