dvons, I feel you, my band is unfilled as well and I am COUNTING the days until my surgery! I wish I could go to sleep and awake from anesthesia... lol

For starters:
Being able to play with my 8-yr old son more. He just came in the room and told me "your the best dad ever." All three of my kids are great but I've gotten better now since my wife and I have 3 (no more!) I just want to run and play with my baby. Take walks with him, take him to the zoo, hiking in caverns, and go to his school to pick him up without feeling self conscious about how I look. This is my #1 NSV

I've been struggling with my weight since the 3rd grade. Always up and down, I'm ready to be consistently down and normal. August will be my time...

Better today but yesterday was rough. I had never had surgery before in life. My family has helped to calm me and keep me on schedule with sipping and walking.

My surgery date is July 20th. Enjoying my sugar free Jello at the moment

My prayers are with you. I am only 3 days out, the first day I was so mad at myself for doing this to myself because I was in so much pain. But it is getting better everyday! Keep us posted on how you feel.

I'm having my surgery tomorrow 7/14 at 9am!

I picked up some WonTon broth from the local Chinese take out and let me tell you after 6 days of sweet, it is deliciously salty!!

Day 3 of liquid diet... seems to be easier today.... or I'm delusional. I'm already tired of sweet stuff. I do really like the no carb Isopure drinks fruity though they maybe. I haven't murdered anyone but I did get a bit cuss-wordy yesterday when a friend snapchatted me some home baked tasty rolls. cuss-wordy is a word right.....

2-week liquid diet started today. So far so good.

How do you feel?

I'm home, the first two days was rough I didn't think I was going to make it through it.I could not take any of the pain medication and everything I drink came right back up. but I spoke with my doctor and he said it was because of the swelling this is day 3 post op. All foods smell horrible. I have absolutely NO appetite. But, i feel so much better! for all the new sleever's hang in it does get better each day

That's the day after my birthday! I was sleeved the 6th, and my husband offered to stay the night with me both nights I was in the hospital. I had a great recovery, though, and declined. I wanted him to get a good night's sleep so he could take care of me, but he ended up sleeping about as poorly as I did the first night. They came in to check my vitals or give me another IV or refill my pain pump so frequently I barely slept. I was also really uncomfortable in the bed. My back was hurting and I couldn't shift my hips around due to the pain, and I couldn't really move my legs due to the air socks I had to sleep in. I slept better the second night, but I would have just made my husband more miserable if he had stayed with me. There wasn't anything he could have done to help, and I would have just been whiny.
The hospital provided me with a binder. I wore it the whole time I was in the hospital because it was holding my drain in place and it helped with the soreness. Once I came home, I wore it most of the first day (3rd day post-op), slept in it, wore it off and on the second day, slept in it, and haven't worn it since. I made a support band like expectant mothers and post-partum mothers wear out of an old tank top like this: http://diymaternity.com/pants-skirts/how-to-make-a-no-sew-belly-band/ I wear it folded down to support my jiggle while leaving my wounds mostly uncovered.

Yay just sent request to join thanks!
