So glad to hear your surgery went well! Mine did too. I was sleeved 12/29 and came home on New Years Eve. Pain is not a huge deal but the gas pain and the tenderness of my abdomen when walking, sitting, standing, is really uncomfortable. I have a huge bruise on my right side also and that's pretty sore. Having said that, I am having no issues getting in and keeping down Water, Jello, broth and a bit of premier Protein so I can't complain there. The only thing really bugging me is when I move and my stomach moves - OW. Can't wait to post and hear more as time goes by!

Ah! Exciting! I'll be thinking of you and checking back for updates. Mine is less than 24 hours now. Sometime around 10 tomorrow. :/ I'm just a nervous wreck but you guys are ALL helping <3 Best wishes to you.

Hi! I am right there with you! My name is Stacey and I'm 38 years old. My surgery is Tuesday, December 29th. I am so nervous about the phase during and immediately after surgery and the weeks following that I keep forgetting the big picture. I am 5'1 and started at 245. I'm down to 211 right now. I am SO nervous that even though I've followed the 7 day liquid/shake diet that for some reason my liver will not have shrunk and he wont be able to do it. I'm also terrified of complications afterwards, leaks, etc. I think I need to just calm down and let go and stay strong. This is what I keep telling myself but inside I'm awful jittery. I can't wait to hear how you do and SO look forward to following the progress of people will similar dates Good luck tomorrow! I"ll be thinking of you for sure! Also, I am doing before pics - DEFINITELY Stacey
