Sleeve Nov 4, 2014. I am still in the hospital as I type this very moment. Wow I can only say wow. I have been truly blessed. The surgery went very well and I have had basically no pain! I expected to hurt but I haven't at this point. Mild discomfort but more like soreness than true pain. I walked the night of surgery then over 1/2 mile just in the halls today. Was on ice chips only until leak check this morning then moved onto one oz of juice or clear liquid. Nurse told me I have been the best sleeve patient she has had and I didn't even act or look like I had just had major surgery.-Dr made second round this evening and said I was doing well and tomorrow we would try sipping liquid as desired and if it goes well I would go home tomorrow. I find myself unable to sleep because I am so excited for what awaits me in the future. 1st I was approved for surgery..next started a new job.. Then in Sept transfer to new location. A week after my transfer they offered me a promotion. The new position will have me walking 3 to 6 miles a day just at work and maybe more. Now that ive got the sleeve I can only take one day at a time and watch my new life unfold before me. I am blessed beyond measure and thankful!

Thanks for the replies I'm a bit frustrated myself as I find that I have stuck to the liquid plan and seem to have gained four pounds in less than one week. How can This be? Now all I really want is to break form and go out to eat. Feeling sad

My mother is set to have sleeve May 20. To show her support and practice I'm doing the two week liquid diet with her. I plan to have sleeve in Aug or sept. We only started today. Oh my I'm not a cry baby however I am STARVING. The Protein drink was awful. So I'm concerned with doing this for two plus weeks. Seeking suggestions. Thanks you
