There is a Rants and Raves forum. This thread has zero Post Operation Surgical Questions value.

Thanks for the update and information. I got sleeved Tuesday morning. Home last night. I didnt use the pain pump in hospital, just took the oral. Ive used it twice since home. Crazy thing the gas occurred today really bad and I had a hard time getting up to walk. Great job on 24 ounces in morning. I kind of cheated and bought 5 cases of Isopure Zero Carb protein so I can get fluids and protein in one shot.

I searched 2017 sleevers then looked for the month. It came up under pages tab.

I'm May 23rd surgery date/start liquid diet on 8th of May. I've got all my pre reqs classes/appointments done, except I have an anesthesia appointment next week. I'm not nervous about the surgery or anything leading up to the surgery, but am really concentrating on the life afterwards and being prepared for eating when surgery is complete. I'm hanging list on refridgerators and bulletin boards. Getting broth ideas and jello all ready. I bought a Nutra bullet blender for shakes, digital food scales, scales, and some protein shake mixes. I know taste changes after surgery, but I felt I had to have some on hand. Protein packs, vitamin patches, energy patches. It seems like a lot of preparation. I have to admit its a little nerve racking. I'll also admit that I've found myself distancing and preparing for a social life that doesn't revolve around food, restaurants and going out to eat. I've picked up hobbies like painting, art tours, motorcycle riding, and working out to fill my time. I'm single, so involving a loved one or family members will make my process easier I feel. I do feel that most people I have dated or hang out with that I need to distance myself because our relationships revolve around food, pubs, bars and restaurants. It may seem like I'm trying to just surround myself with people who will make me successful, rather than old habits and situations who will drag me down. I just had to see if anyone else feels this way and get it off my chest. I have a local support group and nurse that provide a lot of insight and ideas for post surgery life. I get a tremendous amount of information from this website which I am grateful for to everyone.

I had to go back and re accomplish mine. Dr gave me a sleep aide. Severe apnea is 30 or more episodes per hour. I had 62 average episodes per hour. The CPAP is awesome. Best rest ever. I use to sleep 12 and 15 hours a day. Now 4 hours and I can be rested the whole day. And no more naps. Awesome machine.

May 23rd is my date.
