I had surgery the 15th and I'm doing about the same as you.. I really don't know what to do! I just feel so full all the time.

I'm getting sleeved on June 15th and I was just wondering if any one else is as well? Or around June 15th? I started my preop diet today, I'm doing well with it so far... I think because I'm SO excited that this is actually happening! We will see how I feel next week haha. Does everyone have a similar preop diet or is it different with each surgeon?

Is that all you could drink? I'm really scared I'm not progressing how fast I should. I can only handle about 20 oz of Fluid a day.

I'm having a really hard time getting 64 oz of Water down... anyone else? Also, are you guys introducing Protein in yet? If so, how? Just shakes?

I only told a hand full of people. I didn't want to hear negative things from any one. My mom had the surgery last year so she is all about it! I hope your family comes around quickly!

Yep, most of my pain is on the right. They said that that incision is deeper in the muscle than the others. It's the biggest incision too.... I think it's where they pull out the part of your stomach that they removed. Ohh that make sense! I'm trying to wean myself off the pain medicine but with that incision hurting so much, I don't think it'd going to happen... Has anyone talked to anyone about how long the pain will still be there? I've heard 3-4 weeks... tell me it has been shorter with others!?!

My right side is in quite a bit of pain as well! Does any one know why??

I'm so glad everyone is doing well! Mine didn't go do well the night of surgery was awful, I just slept and they pushed morphine. Last was better, not too awful but I was still in quite a bit of pain. They decided to keep me another night just to make sure I would be ok to go home. This morning hasn't been bad,I've gotten up and walked skipped my pain meds and no I'm just trying to drink little sips but get a good amount down. Has any one had to throw up, yet? If I take a too big of drink,is like instant. My surgeon said not to throw up but holy cow is been tough!!!!

Today is the day everyone!!! Good luck!

I'm glad there are so many people with the same/ close to date as mine! I'm excited to share our experiences!

Oh my goodness! Not really! I'm hoping this 10 days flies by!

Holy smokes! Hook me up with that surgeon! Haha kidding. I wonder why we are all so different!

What does your preop diet consist of? Mine is pretty much Protein drinks, yogurt, turkey/chicken and green veggies.
