  1. Hello cutee1985 I am on day four post op. I'm so glad you mentioned the pain with drinking because I've had that too. As far as wanting to drink too much I know what you mean. My dad went out and bought some small Dixie cups, similar to what they gave me in the hospital, and that seems to help me control my portion sizes. And I'm glad u mentioned the bm thing because I didn't go until today. I was also getting very nervous. But it sounds like I'm right on schedule. Looking forward to continuing the journey with you and everyone else on the site
  2. Way to go Erica. I had the procedure monday. I know what u mean about it being hard at bathe beginning. It's a big adjustment process. I'm hoping my results will be positive like yours
  3. Congratulations blissfulbeing
  4. Mlcambell24 the surgery went well. In addition to the surgery the doctor repaired a hernia. The nausea from the anastesia made things a little difficult last night but today is a good day so far.
  5. Thank you blissfulbeing. Besides a little bit of pain I'm doing great
  6. I am officially a sleever
  7. Ok got called in the back saw the doc who said I'm going to do well and I'm now hooked up to the IV
  8. At the hospital awaiting my sleeve. Very nervous thinking about backing out
  9. At the hospital now. Anxious as heck thinking I'm going to leave anxiety too strong
  10. Made it successfully through day two of the liquid diet. Surgery is in a few hours. Only problem is my throat is scratchy and my nose is starting to feel a little stuffy. Hopefully this is just an allergy that will clear by morning
  11. Thanks for the posts. I'm hoping the chills are just my body going through an adjustment. So far today I'm ok. Liquid diet consist of water with the flavoring clear chicken broth sugar free Popsicles and sugar free jello. Today is day two and I hope to be able to maintain it surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 10:15
  12. Today was day one of the all liquid diet. I feel sick and have been running to the rest room to empty out the fluids. I also feel very cold can't seem to warm myself up. Starting to think if this is worth it. Trying so hard not to eat solid food.
  13. @@blissfulbeing thank you for you're response. Yes let's stay in touch as we endure on our journey at the same time. Thanks so much to everyone for their posts and encouragement. I am now pumped up about the procedure and still wanting to move forward. Can't wait to share my experience with everyone. Let's all hope for a happy healthy and smaller new year (:
