  1. Yes I was on clear liquids from the 7th, then when I went in for my post op check up I was advanced to full liquids until the 28th and then I start my pureed stage.
  2. Hi everyone, I was sleeved on April 7, first couple of days were rough. I Had my gall bladder removed and Hernia repair done at the same time. I am 8 days post op and feel fantastic. I advanced to full liquids today and quite happy, strained cream soup and yogurt never tasted so good ;p
  3. Weight at surgery was 286..this morning I weighed myself and I was 277. That is 9lbs in a week. I hope it continues to fall off nicely
  4. I was sleeved April 7 also and I can take in a lot of liquid too..I believe the liquid moves through your sleeve quickly and will not stretch it. I can get in 2 protein shakes, 2-3 16oz bottles of water, 2cups of broth, sugar free popsicles and tea.
  5. I was like that. I am now 6 days post op and I can get in 2-3 16oz bottles of water, 2 8oz cups of broth, 3 sugar free ice pops and 2-3 protein shakes. It takes me all day to get this in. I also get the pain and gurgling if I drink to fast.
  6. Glad your feeling better...it is so true everyday you do feel do much better
  7. I am feeling a lot better. Still sore, but good!
  8. Today is 4 days since my surgery and I feel really good. It was rough the first few days since I had the gallbladder removed, hiatel hernia repaired and the sleeve. I am able to drink water and protein shakes with less pain. I even went shopping for a hour today. It gets better everyday!
  9. I had my surgery on Monday too. Went back to the surgeon today tor a check up was running a 101 fever. Everything looks good..if my fever goes up again he wants me to go the ER
  10. Glad your feeling good. I didn't get out of recovery until midnight, I really needed that extra day.
  11. I had the sleeve, gallbladder removed and a Hermia repair all done on Monday April 7. I am not going to lie..I woke up from surgery in a lot of pain. I don't know if it is because I had all three done I stayed an extra night and feeling so much better today. The gas is a killer..I had it all in my belly!
  12. Surgery was a great success, I had my gallbladder out and a Hermia fixed. Had surgery on Monday and today I feel good. Was in quite a bit of pain yesterday.
  13. Just got my kids on the school bus and then started getting emotional. Keeping myself busy, cleaning the house and just put together a beef stew in the crock pot for their dinner later. Got my bag packed and will head out about 1:30. Best of luck to us all that are being sleeved today!
  14. I checked with the nurse at the hospital, she said it won't be a problem. Some people go dome don't ..lol
  15. 5am and it still did not kick in..getting nervous my surgery is scheduled for today
  16. So I drank this disgusting stuff at 3pm and had only liquids all day, it is suppose to decompress my bowels for surgery. It is 9:40 and so far nothing, I am hoping it works. The bottle says within 1/2 - 6 hours
  17. As soon ask I am able to I will let you guys know how it went.
  18. I am not sleeping very well, have been up since 5 this morning. I am sure I will be up the same time tomorrow.
  19. I am going in Monday afternoon, good luck everyone! !
  20. I am having all the same emotions. I am scheduled for Monday @ 2:15 in the afternoon, wish it was earlier in the day do I wouldn't have all morning to think about it.
  21. Thank you...I have been running around all day..grocery shopping, cleaning house, trying to get things in order before Monday.
  22. Got a call from my surgeons office this morning and they changed my surgery date from April 9 to April 7. OMG...it is this Monday!
  23. Good luck all, I got my approval in 3 days!
