Postoperative day 4 here. I'm not hungry and I don't have any craving but I'm having a hard time telling when I should stop. I don't want to over do it. I have had no complications. I've had 1 1/2 muscle milk, a bottle water, and 1/4 cup coffee. Hope that is ok. I know I'm not getting my daily requirements but I don't want anything else. No problems taking my vitamins.

Great question!

I'll stay on my liquids today bc I def don't want to be cancelled, CODE BROWN, or CODE BLUE! I'm very anxious/nervous and just trying to sleep the day away so that I'm not nervous or hungry. I am not a good patient. I would appreciate any positive advise and your sincere prayers for my surgery team, my husband, & I please. Today has not been easy.

Thanks everyone for your honesty.

No bowel prep but I have been on liquids for 2 wks! Blah!

Question: I'm getting sleeved in the morning and I really would like to eat some REAL food today! Just one good meal!! I can't have anything after 7 anyway. Anybody done this and would it hurt anything? TIA!!

I'm in AR too and I absolutely LOVE my garden!! It is the way I relieve my stress from working with the public everyday. I live to till! Crazy I know. Anyway, I'm getting sleeved Monday and I look forward to getting some of this weight off so I can really enjoy my garden!!

One more question......what about hair loss? My hair is already baby thin and I can't really afford to lose any hair!!! I'm just few days out before surgery on Monday but I have started biotin. I tried to take fish oil too but it is giving my crazy reflux. I read that biotin doesn't stop hair loss but I don't know what else to do.

Hi sleevers, I'm new to the site. Surgery on July 22. I'm 26, 5'2", 243# and I'm worried about how my skin will do with weight loss and my boobs. Will anybody in their 20's be willing to share their experience? Thanks
