I had to share

Thanks guys! I did order some unflavored Protein to put in the things I can have. I'm not allowed cottage cheese yet. I can have yogurt and pudding. Canned or store broths just make me gag, but I have some homemade chicken broth that's going down easy. I really am pushing the fluids and walking and haven't felt the nausea since the last post! Yay! Hope it continues..

Give your doc a call, maybe switch to lactaid milk. I hear a lot of people turn lactose intolerant for a few months after surgery. I just got sleeved on Monday so I don't try my milk things until lunch so I can be sent home if that goes well.

Hi Everyone!
Today is my 1st day post op & I am officially sleeved! My surgeon said that everything went well during surgery...he actually used the word "perfect."
I passed my barium test, no leakages or blockages however my stomach is inflamed so until the inflammation subsides, he sent me home on liquids. My follow up post op appointment is on 5/29/13.
I welcome any tips, advice, suggestions from all of you wonderful individuals!
Thank you!

I'm not sleeved (scheduled 6/19), but it seems like it still very early in the process. Your stomach is stil very small and you need to have only quality foods go into it.
Of course, if you continue on this path, yes - the sleeve was a waste of time. You don't want to look back 2 years from now and be the same weight - you want to look back in 2 years and be like "yeah, it was tough. But I made it and I'm healthy now".
Good luck. I know you can do it!

I made it! I couldn't update yesterday, it was not a good day for me. I had terrible gas pains and nausea to boot. I could only walk 3 times yesterday due to the dizziness and dry heaving. Wow, that was a bad day and I'm glad it's behind me now! It does get better as each hour passes. Surgeon said everything went good. I think I will be getting off the oxygen and catheter today, that should help me feel more human again. I hope everybody else was a success and that they are feeling good! Good luck to the May 21st sleevers today! Sending prayers and good vibes your way!

Woohoo! Less than 24 hours now! Can't wait to be on the losers side and healing. I'm excited now, but by tonight I will probably be all nerves.

Getting sleeved shortly. Getting ready to head out the door and the nerves hit me and my emotions are through the roof! I will be fine, but it's a crazy ride.. Mini emotional breakdown in 3..2..1.. Lol

It's not terrible, but I almost threw up several times, I'm weak when it comes to certain flavors and textures lol... It's over quick though.

I'm also starting liquid diet on may 6th and surgery is the 20th. Myself and 2 other ladies have started texting each other for moral support. We are all the 20th. Just thought it would be helpful if we were overcome with anxiety or nerves. lol Message me if you're interested.
