Hey guys, waiting to go into surgery! Miracles and blessings!
[ATTACH]44124[/ATTACH]

I'm in Columbus, and just wondering if there are any sleevers, pre-op or post-op, doesn't matter, just looking for some hometown folks to link up with for friends!
I'm scheduled for my sleeve next week (May 8th).
Sound off guys, I need your support!

Hello Everyone! I've finally made it to the other side! I had my sleeve done this past Thursday, May 8th. I was a nervous wreck and worked myself up for not much. My biggest problem was coming out of the anesthesia (my norm), other than that I was feeling pretty good after surgery, of course meds helped. I had the gas pains really bad, and gas-x strips did little to help me, I just got up and walked around for brief periods to get it moving. My best friend has been my heating pad, nice and warm. Been sipping green tea, Water, water mixed w/protein shot, chicken broth that I prepared ahead of time, apple juice, white grapefruit juice; all 100% just no sugar added, and mixed 2oz juice and 2oz water. Also been chewing on ice chips from the icemaker at home, just crush it up, having a hard time figuring out when I'm full though, but for now, just sipping, walking, and feeling pretty darn good! Yay!

I know for me my Nut said that 100% apple and cranberry juice with no added sugar was fine during the first week or so after surgery since I won't be having any real Protein per se in the clear liquid phase. She said they want to get some calories in us :-) For me the juices leave when I can introduce Protein Shakes again. Besides, with the amount we can drink I can't believe I will be consuming too many calories to worry about.

Wow, this is making me feel good reading how you are doing so good after the surgery. Today is my birthday and my gift is coming on the 15th. I've been so busy that I didn't remember it until I saw the calendar today, I have been getting cards but still forgot. I don't even get my 40 grams of carbs a day so I will have a real skinny liver. The month is not over so good luck to the rest of may sleevers!

Congratulations !! Sounds like you are off to a great start

Congrats to you chickie!! I has problems coming out of anesthesia too!! I would not wake up (cause I hate being woke up anyways) and I became combative and it took 3 people to hold me down!!!

Way to go. You are doing all the right things - moving around, trying to get liquid in your body. Try and stay off the juice even if it's 100%. Remember to rest and get your Protein in and you'll see the weight come off. Enjoy the journey
