Yes, JerzyTomato74 I was very well prepared, I read lots of posts on this web sight, looked at utube videos, looked up recipes and food suggestion for the upcoming plans and went to the support group that my doc offers. Everything I read prepared me for the many possible outcomes that could happen but nothing could really prepare me for my own person experience. I too like every1 else feel a lil head hunger but a few sips of my Protein and I'm too full to think of eating anything else. I Can't think of anything I wished I had. I wore my outfit to the hospital that I was planning on going home in. Loose fitting stretch pants and a nice long roomy shirt and flip flops. I took some gas X strips as suggested but did not need until the next day home. Took my toothbrush, deodorant, iPad (didn't use), chapstick, robe/slippers...that's it, needed nothing else.

Hello fellow sleevers I was sleeved October 1st so today is postop day 6 for me. My surgery went really well and I was not required to have a drain. My biggest issue postop was nausea, that was the worst. I was discharged the next morning in the am. Since then I have been doing fairly good. I have been totally off all pain meds since Saturday. I've been feeling a lil bloated the last few days, which make it a lil more difficult to get my fluids in, but with the help of gasx I'm doing ok. I had my first postop appt. today and my surgeon said I look more like I'm 3weeks postop and he's very happy with my progress. I feel very blessed that thus far I've been managing well and I thank god and my friends and family for all the many prayers and support. I'm posting my early progress because I found that it was hard to find many people posting early progress reports, and this was an area that I was very interested in. Please post so pre op sleevers can see what to expect from all stages. Lateese92

Wow, Jen~79, Outpatient sounds nice. Good luck. I look forward 2 hearing from you.

Exactly 2 weeks out. Starting my 1000 cal pre op diet today :-)

Welcome chellatubbie, I know exactly how you feel.

Absolutely _2juicy_ I've been reading the first couple of weeks are the hardest. I'm guessing this will be the best time to have each other support. Thanks, I look forward to chatting with you all.. good luck and congrats to u ladies.

I no what u mean Melissayw816 I feel exactly the same way. I'm scheduled for the same day. I have been reading up on lots of blogs to try to help with my nervousness. I found the world according to egg face to be extremely helpful with great recipes and advice. I've been looking for a support buddy, seeing that our surgrey is on the same day I'd like to stay in contact and add u as a friend if that's ok with u.

Thank you so much willow13 for sharing your experience. I am scheduled for surgery on October 1st and I am excited, scared and all the other emotions that go along with pre op. Congratulations on ur success and continue 2 encourage others.

Good luck JenW~79 , I'm feeling the same way. Finally did all pre op appointments and as I get closer to the 1st the reality is really setting in. How long is your hospital stay post op?

Just got my date 2 days ago. October 1st.. very nervous, seems everyone is more excited than me. Want to make sure I'm making the right decision but I've been wanting it for so long, now I'm not sure if it's the right thing. I'm so over thinking this.
