Tomorrow is our day. I feel great ready to be on the other side.

Hello friends,
Just checking in. Surgery tomorrow!!! Feeling pretty calm and prepared for the most part. Good luck and God speed to my 10/13 buddies. Check in when you can!

Chelle- looks like you are on top of things as usual !!
Kathy- Thanks for the compliment (Delta Dawn is super sweet) I've fooled another.LOL
Suturia- So nice to have another Sleeve Sister with the same surgery date.
Mona- I will message you so that we can get logistics worked out and perhaps meet in person
Jen, lindalue, & krimrod- We have a great support group here & I will support and help in any way that I can.
Susan M- We have connected through our pain which will hopefully make us stronger. I justlove you and you are gonna do fine!!
EVERYONE that has already been sleeved- Thank you all for the advice and calming words of experience and wisdom. You enable us to be as prepared as possible. I'm so glad that I found this place and have you all here!!!

I would say day of and day after are the worst. Day 2 post op you start to feel normal and restless. Today is day 3 and even though we're only a couple hours in to the day, I can already tell a difference from yesterday.
Think positive and a hospital support person is definitely a key!

I am up and walking and got home last night. Still sore but it's improving. The key is to keep walking. The thirst part was the worst part of day 1. Take your chap stick!! Ask for a sponge to run in your mouth. Y'all have got this!

Hey everyone !! If you find any great links to recipes, please let me know !! I have stuff to do (imagine that lol), and I haven't had time to really research like I want to.
Amy had the best saying ever..... WE GOT THIS
Leslie - My October 14th Sleeve Buddy ! I will absolutely add you to the list. Welcome !!! I personally think that the sleeve is so much better than the band. We will all make sure we make it successful for us ! Where in CT are you from ?…….. OMG I just read your post about your chiroasshole ! Sorry to be rude, but geez, what an idiot. I am SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU for standing up and tell him. Damn it, you are doing this for you. Screw everyone else and their opinions !!! This is YOUR life. Do not cry…. I’ll give you my phone# and you can call me . BIG BIG GIANT HUG !!!!

Curleycurvyfit - Welcome ! Can’t wait for you to get that surgery date. Keep us posted on the endoscopy and the psych Nervous ?

Delta Dawn - no problem on the list. If you come by something I should add, let me know. Awesome job staying organized with your notebook ! ….. ps… I love the “You must have a great chiropractor because you have a fine backbone”

Amy - thanks for telling us about the sponge. I keep hearing that’s the worse part. You doing okay?


Susan - eeeeeek… our time is near !! How you doing? Nervous, excited?

VSG - You are saving your life, and you’re doing this for you ! It’s normal to feel nervous, but as Amy said it.. “You got this” ! Love the seats at Verizon Center. Mine is either Horseback Riding, Zip Line, or Sky Diving.

Jessi (is it okay I call you that) - Awww, I love your first goal ! It’s funny you mention not caring about eating the food. I”ve been thinking about TG too., and your’e right ! It’s not important ! Imagine that ! We are starting to switch our minds and focusing on us and our bodies ! WTG ! I hoe you have the best TG Ever ! btw.. I’m a desert rat. Grew up in Phoenix

Meonthelist - Congrats on your sleeve ! Glad you checked in. Glad things are starting to get better !
So the tiredness is as bad as they say it is? What are able to accomplish? Or is it just hanging around the house watching TV and the computer? Also, in my book there’s a recipe for double milk, which is a cup of skim milk and a packet of powder milk, (double protein), cook some broccoli or carrots, blend them with them with the milk, and make a nice cream Soup. Strain any pieces out of it. Also Ms Dashes for different flavors Maybe that will help. I’ll look for more recipes ! Thanks again for the update !!! HUGS!

Swedy - Welcome. I’ll add you to the list !

Lisa - Thanks for sharing your information and being there !!!!

Linda - Congrats on your surgery date !!!!!! I’m the same !! I don’t have to do a pre op diet either. I kind of feel guilty I don’t. Do you feel that way ?

Brian - Check the list. I saw a couple !

llmccay1 - Congrats on your surgery date and welcome !! Love your enthusiasm

To those getting close to surgery please do not be nervous just be thrilled you are about to get a chance of becoming a new person. The goals your about to reach, are going to be something that really helps you to embrace life in a way you won't believe! Drink Protein drinks if you hungry in the days before surgery it really takes the edge off! Prayers and powerful thoughts coming your way! Surgery really was not bad at all, I did not use the pain medicine they offered or sent home and you can not even see where they did the surgery! Stay positive! You got this!!

Checking in....had my sleeve done yesterday morning. Had little nausea and pain has been bearable for the most part. Not sure if I'll go home today or tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone with upcoming surgeries this week!!!! You'll all be in my thoughts! Tomorrow is my post-op appt! I've been doing just fine so far... deff 100% better than I could have ever imagined.

I have been changed to the 7th of Oct!
Good luck everyone. I will try to post after my surgery on Tuesday.

im also tomorrow!!checkin at 5 45 am!!good luck!

My surgery is tomorrow the 6th. In Sonoma California

The closer Tuesday morning gets the more nervous I get! I know God is with me and without Him I would not be able to do this. I am confident in my surgeon but having never been in the hospital and this being my first procedure has my nerves on edge. Prayers going out for all of us!!
