Good Luck! I was sleeved in Boston on 11/6. The pain wasn't nearly as bad as I thought and I haven't been sick once. I'm one week post op and looking forward to the mushy/soft food stage in one week. My energy is pretty good but not 100%. FYI, TMI...start drinking fiber and stool softeners as soon as your out of the hospital. You'll appreciate it when nature eventually calls.

Thanks. Everything worked itself out last night, thanks to a barrage of Metamucil, Miralax, and Colace.

I'm one week post op today and am hungry. The Protein shakes help but I'd love some eggs or tuna/chicken salad. I know my stomach is still healing and won't tolerate it but I can feel my hunger coming back. I have unjury chicken Soup powder to help satisfy savory cravings. Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks

Hi, I was sleeved Wednesday (11/6) morning and haven't had a movement since. I think I might feel one in the works, possibly. What has been others experience? Thanks

Thanks Cubbie.

Anyone having surgery in Boston at the Brigham?

Hey everyone. I'm glad I found this app/site. I'm optimistically freakin' nervous. I love food! Don't we all? Hoping that I will be up to soft foods come Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, a Thanksgiving dinner would be my death row meal if I'm ever there (I hope not!). We'll get through the pre-op together. Look up OneLifetoSleeve on YouTube. I don't know this guy but he's been helpful and inspiring with his video blog. Take care!

Since we are talking about penises, I'm nervous if/when I need to have a catheter put in because my guy is surrounded by fat. He's a grower, not a shower. I'm sure the nurses are professional but that's a big self conscious thing I have. Do they put a catheter in at all?

Great question! My date is 11/6 and I've been thinking the same.
