I was also sleeved on 01/04 and have no trouble with 11oz Protein Shake. After the 3rd day preop I was meeting my Water goals. I guess it's a blessing and a curse because I don't have any trouble getting anything down and seldomly fill full. I have to keep reminding my self Portion Control.

Yeah I was like that till Sunday, then Monday I could tell that something seemed to be different but I continued to keep drinking just a few sips at a time. A little while ago I was like I'm going to see so I got a Protein shake and drank it and was able to get the whole thing down and nothing come back up and there was no pain.

Thanks everybody! I had to spend an extra night in the hospital because I couldn't get my nausea/puking under control. Other than that and some occasional irritating gas pains, everything else is going good. I'm getting in many laps at the hospital and really no pain at all on surgery sites.

@"liafonttant". How are you feeling?

I had my sleeve surgery yesterday evening. I think I'm going to have to stay another night due to the severe nausea. Besides that I'm able to get up and down and also as much as I want. I anticipate the rest of the healing recovery to go smoothly once this nausea/retching goes away.

I am schedule to have my sleeve around 2:30. I'm quite emotional because I am here by myself. My husband is at work and the kids get out of school around that time so it made sense for him to tend to them since I will be spending the night. My dad dropped me off at the hospital but because I choose to only tell my husband about the surgery, he didn't stay. So much going on in my head right now and tears watering my eyes. Praying for all those going through surgery today. I don't question my decision about not telling anyone. The emotions are for the unknown that I will face in a couple of hours and moving forward.

I'm on EST, so it's 4:30am here and I have to be at the hospital at 12:30 today. I feel the same way. I can't sleep. What couple of hours that I did get in, I was having crazy dreams. Good Luck to you and speedy recovery.

Good luck to you too! And I guess if you're not sleeping now you definitely will be later today/ or at least you'll be knocked out.

I'm a few days post op and can't sleep myself cause I'm caught up reading about sleeve related things!

Getting excited and a little nervous, mainly because I'm a single mom and don't want to be away from my baby. But it's for the best. My surgery is scheduled for the 4th at 9:30 am. I've been binge watching My 600 pound life in anticipation.

My surgery is scheduled for the 4th. Getting a little nervous/anxious as my weight keeps fluctuating n the last couple of days. I've called my doctor, but of course the office is closed today. I'm afraid they will post-pone my surgery if i'm only 5lbs down.

Best of luck! I hope that wouldn't be a deal breaker for you.

4th here. I'm ready. I did better on the pre op diet than I ever thought I could. Was hit with big NYE party, slapped in the face with reality of how much food plays into my social life. I did fine though. Even sang karaoke for the first time in my life. Good luck everybody!

Hi everyone, I am new as well and scheduled for January 11, 2017. My concern is the days prior to the procedure. My doctor said I should start the liquid diet one week prior to the procedures, but I do not see anyone else mentioning this? Is this standard?

All of the January "sleevers" like myself tomorrow is the last holiday we can eat up, so enjoy. I will!

I wish! I've been on a 2 week liver shrink diet since Wednesday. Enjoy yourself!

Just curious @"mollymckim", are there restrictions on how soon after surgery that you can fly? I am having my sleeve surgery on Jan. 4th, do you have to do a pre op diet @"Cocoon2Butterfly ?

Hi Broove. I had a kidney transplant in June 2014. I lost kidney function due to an autoimmune disorder. I was on dialysis for 2.5 years. The last 9 months I switched from hemodialysis to peritoneal dialysis. That is when my weight gain started. My transplant doctor is the one that put me on the road to bariatric surgery. I am having surgery in January. I can't speak to life after sleeve yet but I have been down the dialysis road. Best of luck.

Good luck and speedy recovery to you @becky1178. I would love to know how everything is going. @@wyominggirl I quit caffeine cold turkey. I usually had 2 cups of coffee in the morning and maybe a glass of sweet tea sometime during the day. If anything was going to trip me up, it was going to be the coffee because I don't drink it black. Also, good luck and speedy recovery to you and I would love to know how everything is going.
