You look wonderful!! Congrats. You actually didn't even look heavy in your before pic!

I had the same thing!! Nothing to do with food. Just weird and seemed to last the whole night! They stopped prob about 3 weeks post op

Sorry this is a bit off topic but what are you ladies taking for menstrual cramps??

Good luck to you! You get sleeved on my birthday! I was sleeved June 3. I am not much help because I am having a really hard time getting protein in! In the beginning you won't be eating much at all! Liquids only. After a few days I was able to drink protein drinks and I have been adding protein powder to my jello. Still no where close to where I need to be. I talked to the nurse yesterday and she recommended isopure but everyone keeps saying they are nasty!

Caitlin, I felt like I was writing this! Thank you!! I was sleeved June 3rd. First few days were rough and I am still not getting in enough Protein but am trying. Some days are better than others. Today I actually broke down and started crying. First time I was questioning myself. I also appreciated everyone's response! Even though I plan to make better choices in my future, I want to be able to have pizza or a sandwich! I would be satified with 1 slice every once in a while! I guess my emotions have just been all over the place! I have my first check up post op tomorrow. I have not stepped on a scale! Thanks again to everyone! Karen

Awesome!! I know exactly what you mean about the towels!! You look great!

I was sleeved June 3rd. I had serious pains with gas but today feeling better and hopeful! I feel. Sorry for those that are hiccuping. Every time in the hospital I did the breathing thing I got them. It was so painful. Thinking of you all!!

Wow! 3 nights in the hospital? My dr asked if I wanted another night but wanted to be home. Not like they were doing anything else besides bothering me so often. Just feeling a bit defeated today. I felt the same yesterday so assumed today would be a little better. I think I need to read some happy posts! I am usually good at tolerating pain. It was better to be sleeping the first few days!!

Today I am not feeling happy. Back pain is terrible. I have been trying to walk in the house but it is pouring outside. I know it will get better. Just got to get over this beginning!

That's awesome! I am so happy for you. Even in your writing I can tell how happy you are! Enjoy the attention and don't settle!

I was sleeved Monday too! Today was the first day I was able to get a protein shake in. I know I hve to do better but it is so hard to drink more than 2 tiny sips! Glad I am not alone. I haven't even added the protein powder since I have barely eaten! Is anyone having pains in their back/shoulder/neck? This is killing me!

Hi all. I live in central NJ also but went to Dr. Mehta. I was just sleeved on Monday! Good luck to all!

Glad to hear! Just had my surgery yesterday and i am so uncomfortable.

I am also worried I wasn't on any pre diet! I asked the surgeon and hospital. They just said nothing since the night before. I have been reading this forum the last few hours and been reading bad things!! People are starving and sorry!! Where are you getting it done Monday?

OMG! Monday is the day!! I was excited now I have such anxiety!! I keep trying to convince myself this is the best thing for me but scared I will be sorry! No going back!! Can't tell you how many last meals I have had!!

I had my pre admission last Friday and the EGD yesterday. I was told my date 2 weeks ago for June 3

My birthday too! My surgery is June 3rd!!

Hi all! I go on June 3!! I have another appointment tomorrow with the surgeon. I have pre admission testing on Friday and next Tuesday is my EGD. Everything is coming up so fast!! I hadn't been told about a 2 week liquid diet and I am less than that away!!

I hope you start to feel better! Thank you for sharing your honest story to warn the rest of us to stick with what the doctor says! I have my surgery on June 3 and will remember this!

I live in Somerset and am going to Dr. Mehta in New Brunswick. I was disappointed to hear my surgery will be at Raritan Bay in Old Bridge. My surgery date is June 3 and lots of appts coming. Good luck to all!

I was just told yesterday that I have been approved. My date might be June 4th!!! I am excited but now nervous too!

Hi, I was hoping someone would have responded to your post. I already have had my consultation with Dr. Mehta. He was really nice and willing to work with me. Although I am going through insurance. I had told him before he explains too much to me if I can't afford it I can not get it done. The woman in his office that works with the insurance was a patient of his and she looks great!! I know not much help but I am hoping we can get someone else to respond! Good luck! Karen
