I was sleeved on the 21st too!

The final day I thought to myself should I really do this? I remembered all my ailment. Told my anesthesiologists. He said it be weird if you didn't think that about an elective surgery. The. He when on to say at first when they started to do these sleeves he was skeptical til his his brother had it and it basically saved his life, the. This little older lady came in who was the chaplain and she prayed with me. She told she was a sleeve candidate and it saved her life. I knew than I made the right choice. I want my quality of life back.

I like the prepaid premier shake from Costco 18 for $ 23 and jar of unjury powder is about 23 dollars they even have chicken soup flavor you can drink warm. Unjury has a chocolate splendor I mix with almond milk/ cashew ( milk messes up my sinuses) and it's like a delicious hazelnut drink. I like the familia and strawberry too. I'll be getting some unflovored later to make my own smoothies in a couple weeks with fresh fruit

I agree gas is the worst part because pain medicine doesn't work on it all! Didn't get much sleep in hospital either.

Thanks Liz. I'm already home. Had bad chest pain from gas but walking and blowing in the little tube helped. Stitches a little tender but not to bad. I lost 22 pounds prior to surgery. Shocked the heck out of I though maybe 10 pounds. Still on liquid Sadie for two more weeks, but can add fat free no sugar added pudding and yogurt. Can have some V-8 too. Glad to have some new choice before the mush stage. Spell check I meant Yvette

I'm scheduled for surgery Monday December 21st. Finally used to liquid diet. Clear liquids tomorrow. Excited, nervous and a tad scared. Down about 16 pounds in 2 weeks. I admit I had two bites of food but spit and rinsed really well.my clothes are already loose. Instead of thinking, no food for the holidays I'm thinking way what a great gift I'm getting for Christmas!!! Great tool for the rest of my life!
