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.

Thanks ladies and freetobeme can you let me know what your doctor says? I don't go until Friday. Thanks again!

I'm having the worst pain on my right side. Feels like a pull or pinch. Anyone else have this problem?
