CONGRATULATIONS! Lifting you up in prayers while you get through the next couple of days (which I hear are the worst)!!!

Stay connected, anxious to hear how you are doing. I am 1 week post op tomorrow. Everyday is a little better. A little tired & soar, but no need for pain meeds since last Sat. My tummy is VERY full & bloated, to be expected. Hang in there!

I'm so happy for you....

Don't forget to do a lot of walking, every time you need to go potty walk around as much as you can. That will help with the gas and the left shoulder pain.. Trust Me

My date is March 15th with Dr Almanza!!!

Hey, y'all! Just wanted to share that I was sleeved yesterday, everything went perfectly! I had a little difficulty waking up from the anesthesia, but other than that its been great!

I'm having some pain on my left side only and some gas trapped in the same side. I'm about to go home! I've also only had one bout of nausea today! I feel really good! Much better than I thought! Gl to all our sleevers still to be sleeved this week!

Glad to hear you are doing ok!!

Ok, I spoke too soon. I didn't take my zophran as soon as I got home and when I took my liquid lortab....I threw up everything in my little tummy along with a lot of mucus (I've had post-nasal drip all week). It was horrible. I threw up again about 30 min ago....so, I'll be taking my zophran on a VERY regular basis and I think I may skip the lortab all together.....It's too sweet or something....when it hits my tummy, it just comes straight back up. ICK. Praying things are better over the next few days. I have had the thought "what have I done to myself!" cross my mind over the last 12 hours!! I just keep telling myself, IT WILL GET BETTER!!!

Congrats on your sleeve! I was sleeved on 3/9 myself. Other than having a hard time coming out of the anesthesa (which is normal for me) I've been really lucky. No nausea as of yet! No problems taking my Lortab either. Mostly I've lots of gas. I'm excited about my new life and the new healthier me that shall emerge!

Hi just had mine on march 7th with Dr Leiva. So glad to have found y'all!!

Tomorrow is my big day! I will post when I get home. I have a 3 day stay at the hosp! Good luck to all my other friends going in tomorrow!! Can't wait to hear how everyone does!

To my fellow March 16th sleevers---Squishy, pcos_chick, sunnyd, foxgirl74 and a TRUE PYT---here's to a successful surgery tomorrow and a speedy recovery.

Hi, March Sleevers!!! Just wanted to update! I'm doing MUCH better! I'm 8 days post-op and things are much easier! I'm not in as much pain, I have over done things 2x and that has set me back a bit, but I'm ok with that! Getting out of the house was worth the pain! LOL! I lost 8.2 lbs my first week for a total of 25.8! WooHoo!!! I'm still struggling to get in 64oz of water....but I'm making it my goal for today!! I'm also getting in 70g of protein easily! I'm using the Nectar Chocolate Truffle protein powder...I LOVE it! Tastes just like choc milk without a funky protein aftertaste! Wonderful!

Anyway! Praying for all of us recovering and for everyone yet to be sleeved! We're all headed toward health!! YAY!

I am on the LOSERS BENCH!! Woo Hoo!! I came home today. I was off pain meds the morning after surgery. I threw up a few times. The first time was after the Upper GI. Another time, I took sips but a bunch real quick. No time between them. Glad to be home, just trying to get rid of these miserable gas pains. How long does this last??

Dana, I love your You Tube videos! I have been following faithfully. It is nice since I am a week behind you and you kinda show me what is coming next!

Good luck to everyone!!

Hi guys....I guess I should update too. I am 6 days post op (surgery was pushed back to 11th). I'm doing great. I have no pain. The dr prescribed Tylenol w/ codiene (sp) but never even needed it. Each day gets better and better. I am struggling to get the 80gr of protein in. I do about 60 with the Muscle Milk Light (sucks that I can't use the straw). I can get about 48 oz of fluids in. I have a 3 year old who weighs 27lbs...and not picking her up is a bit of a struggle (in and out of the car seat, the bathtub, if she falls asleep in the car, etc). I have developed this white fur on my tongue which is disgusting. But a tongue scraper has helped. Full liquids begin tomorrow and mushies next Friday (oh how I can't wait)!!! I will make my official weigh-in days on Friday. So I will post my weight tomorrow.

Toodles!!

I'm "Marching" along right behind ya'll. Hope everyone who has had it is doing great and those who haven't have an uneventful experience.

Where do you get the Nectar? Just curious.
