I did fairly well for my first day, considering the huge headache I had. Took a benadryl for my allergies, went to bed early, and slept the hunger off.
I was okay this morning when I got up but I have a headache now. Guess I'll pop a couple of Tylenol for the headache.
I can't remember who it was that posted that motivational piece yesterday, but it kept me going. Thanks for that.

I had my sleeve on the 6th and just wanted to let those worried that I did really well. I stayed overnight because I use a CPAP but honestly the worst part of this whole thing was the first two days of my pre-op diet. I don't know if it is because I have had major abdominal surgery in the past but this whole thing has been soooo much easier than I anticipated!
I was so worried beforehand to the point that I was contemplating cancelling the morning of the surgery but am SO GLAD I DIDN'T. I had nausea immediately after surgery which they got under control very quickly and since then I have not had any.
I can get my 2 Protein Drinks down a day (60 g protein) and had a little thinned yogurt, thinned cream of rice but the best thing I have added to my diet was 1/2 cup of low fat cream of mushroom soup...that tasted like real food I also have been adding non-fat dry milk powder to everything it mixes with (i.e. Soup, yogurt, cream of rice) to add more Protein without adding bulk.
I also went up 6 pounds after the surgery but it is from the iv fluids they pump into you. That came off within a couple of days and now I am down 4.5 pounds from my surgery weight giving me a total of 18.5 including my pre-op diet. I had a little bit of gas but nothing like I am reading on here...so I feel very fortunate and blessed.
I am not going to lie though..,I am worried about the upcoming Hair loss :/
Praying everyone else can have a quick recovery also...so glad I went through with my decision...

Today is FINALLY MY DAY!!!! GOOD LUCK & God be with all my sleeve sisters and brothers today!! We got this y'all!!!

On day one of my pre-op diet -- 2 Protein shakes a day and 1 hearty Soup a day (whatever that means exactly)
no caffeine, no anything bubbly (ever again)
I can have sugar free Jello, popsicles, and pudding during the pre-op diet
I can also have sugar free drinks.
Then, 2 days before surgery -- Clear liquids only.
Since today is day 1 of my pre-op diet, I have a bad headache today -- I'll probably go home after work and just go to bed and sleep it off.
