Lucrezia Borgia

It's done! Still feeling groggy. The first 12 hours or so felt pretty miserable ; back bad abdominal pain, but not unbearable. The painkiller button is a good thing! Some nausea and my BP was up, but it's coming down now. Can't believe I did it! !!

Got the call a few hours ago...APPROVED! ????

Hi Rachel, my name's Janis (not Lucrezia, lol) Well, I'm supposed to be doing an all liquid diet, but have really been struggling...made it about 85%. I've managed to lose 25 lbs in the past few months, though and I'm doing just liquid this weekend. I'm excited and a little nervous, too. We're going to do great!!

Yay!! We will have a new Special Birthday-9/16????

Had my last consult with surgeon this morning....looks like we're go for launch on Tues!

thank you , I was so bummed about the time n a bit hungry, I literally couldn't think!! Lol great idea, my house can certainly use it ????

Good Luck! You'll do great. Let us know how everything went...I'm up next Tues!

my suggestion or should i say what I would do is sleep the day away and if I can turn up the music and clean what you can, make sure everything is ready for when you go back home.

I did it. I am sleeved. Woke up from surgery at 0930 today. Some bad pain at first. I was up walking before noon. Getting fair amount of liquids in. Twisting and reaching hurt the most. Everyone is happy with my progress. Excited for the future.

I feel your pain...I'm hanging on, but really struggling with this liquids only for 2 weeks. Especially hard for me at night. I want to nibble on anything (and I'm currently without a man...lol)

Hey WTE, I had the same idea....it's kind of crazy how many different sizes I have! I'm scheduled for the 16th ~ nervous but excited. So far doing ok with the liquid diet. ????

Hey September sleevers!! I'm not schedule until the 26th however, this Sunday I'm cleaning out my closet right now separating all the clothes that I NEVER want to wear again 16-20 and the ones that I haven't worn in years 8-12! Also I purchased a pair of size 6 jeans (my personal goal for my 4"11 small frame) from a store that's going out of business clearance rack $10.00.... I really want to part with shoes too but um.... I'll wait I have shoe sizes ranging from 6-8!!! And that's including half sizes!! I'm excited for EVERY newbie here on these forums!

I had my sleeve done on Tuesday. I lost 20 lbs. on the two week diet, before hand. Recovery isn't too bad. I only had nausea when they gave me the disgusting stuff to drink to check for leaks. I came home the next day. They had an onQ hooked up in my belly for pain. That was a new one on me. It helped the pain quite a bit for the incisions. I took it out last night and the pain is very tolerable. My big kicker is that they gave me nausea meds, that give you a headache and pain meds that you have to take with food and make you nauseous. duhhh. Needless to say no pain meds or nausea medication. I have had a whopping headache for the past 3 days. But I crushed up some Tylenol with Water and that has helped. So My stats so far are SW 277. Surgery weight 257 this morning 253. I was expecting it to be higher due to the swelling. So I am pleased. I'm hanging on to this bull and riding it for all it's worth.
