Hello! Do happen to have any pantsuits? Matching jacket/slacks or decorative dress jackets?
I have to wear a suit everyday for work...I don't want to buy new while I'm in between sizes
Thanks so much!

I am blessed too. Surgery was Monday 5pm. Tuesday was a rough day. Discharged Wednesday. At work Thursday and Friday for a couple hours. Swallowing is good. Following the script. So so blessed. I was very anxious going in to surgery. The stories of complications scared me.

I was sleeved at 5:30 last night. Scheduled at 1 but a patient ahead of me had a complication. I have had a rough morning. No vomiting but hard to get Water down. broth. Is easier. Doc said my stomach is a little more swollen than most so it is hard to get liquid down. Because my heart rate is low they will keep me another night. Thanks for the prayers. You guys are awesome. Praying for the future sleevers!!

Feb 3rd in St. Pete/Largo. Scared, excited, praying for a smooth recovery. Praying for all you Feb. Soon to be losers. Ok. Let's get pumped up. Our new life is about to begin.!!!!!

Good luck to all the Feb. Sleevers. Counting down and the days are whizzing by. I had my final weigh in Wednesday. Drum roll. I made my goal weight. Lost 15 pounds since 12/27/13!!!! Originally only had 10 to lose but I had a real good New Years Eve and gained 5 lbs. But now I love my Cookies and cream flavored protien shakes. I bought a wok and I live for my 4oz of organic chicken grilled with with spinach and garlic. 5 more days till a new life. Praying for all the Feb. Sleevers. Keep in touch.

+1 on too much stocking up. You may end up throwing a bunch away, not only because your tastes change, but also because you will only be on shakes for a short time after surgery and you will not be able to just chug it down, so you may end up with a ton of powder you can't use.
I am a week out of surgery. What I did was find the powder and/or ready to drink shakes I like and keep a weeks worth. I use Amazon.com and if you have their prime service it is free two-day shipping. I just keep ordering a week or two of stuff until I don't need it anymore.
Keep crystal light or your favorite clear liquid with you at all times, and just remember to drink periodically. Getting enough Water is tough so you have to have it with you to remind yourself.
The pillow is a good idea on the ride home from the hospital but you will be surprised how quickly the pain subsides and you won't need it.
Make sure you are walking every day. That is so important after surgery.
To avoid vomiting - sip your drinks VERY slowly and only small sips. If you feel pressure in your chest you may have drank too quickly so wait a few before continuing, unless you have already drank quite a bit, in which case you are done.

BryBro so glad you are doing well. I know you were relieved to open your eyes and see a hospital room. Keep us posted on your progress.

I am another one with 2-3 surgery. There are a lot of us. Just finished week one of pre- op diet. At my required surgery weight. My weigh in is Thursday.
Praying for everyone. Looking forward to reading the post surgery notes!!!

My surgery will be on 2-3-14. I must lose 12 pounds by 1-28-14 or they will reschedule my surgery. My scale is barely moving. Started the Wild Rose detox kit today. Dr. Oz recommended it. Feeling the pressure!!
