Yes! Everything else is going great. I just have a little soreness. Thank God the gas started coming out this morning. I was belching and everything. Lol I am so thankful I'm able to get my liquids in so far. I'm doing 4oz every hour. How's it going for you so far?

Hi guys!!! IM ALIVE . Surgery went very well. Your prayers really helped so thank you. I don't have any gas pain, I did have a hernia repair, but overall I am great and I AM SLEEVED!! For all of you that have surgery coming up you can do this!! Thanks again to all of you that have supported me throughout my journey that is the only way I could have gotten through this, and if course prayers!!!

Had surgery yesterday. It was a success. I was very sore, nauseous, and a little gassy. I walked a couple of times. That made me feel better each time. I also took in my Water and Protein. Not bad at all. My sleeve didn't like cold Water or Protein.< /p>
Today, I feel much better. Just sore in one spot. I will definitely do more walking today. Overall, I feel pretty good.

"You people" with no liquid diets are making me want to slit my wrists haha *coughs up Protein Shake and drowns in it*

Right here in bed at Mi Doctor Hospital in TJ Mexico. 2 hours Til surgery. Ready to be on the other side...

Mug/coffee warmer. I bought some tiny dishes that fit on it so my food doesn't get cold.

Big Sleeve... made me laugh on that one!!

Deep breath! You will do great. This will all be over before you know it. By Christmas we will be eating again and be pounds lighter. Any discomfort is only temporary and our healthy new life style will be permanant! Start thinking about that summer vacation - and shorts!!!

My surgeon will remove the stomach through the lower left incision. It will be slightly larger than the others and I was told to expect it to be alittle more tender.

My surgery is on the 11th of Nov. I will be at the "mushy" stage by Thanksgiving. My NUT said that since I should eat 5 meals a day, they could all be Thanksgiving. One meal could be a little mashed potatoes and gravy, another sweet potatoes, another a little of the center of a pumpkin pie, etc.

Heard people say to take a small hard pillow to place between the seatbelt and your tummy on the ride home.

I have heard many ppl also suggest ear plugs, lip balm and an extension cord if you have possible need for one. :-) Good luck!

Hi Sharonhale461 I hope your pre-surgery diet and then the surgery go very well. I empathize about the knees. You are going to feel a lot better as you lose weight! the major reason why I had wls was to get relief for my aching knees. MD said that I needed knee replacements on both, but I was convinced that the pain might have SOMETHING to do with the fact that I was carrying around 120 extra pounds (that is like 25 bags of sugar, or four huge bags of dog food, or five boxes of kitty litter). now that I have lost most of the weight, I don't have much knee pain. As you lose the weight, you may find yourself feeling better even without the knee surgery.

November 11th in Seattle. Start pre-diet on 28th.
