Hey Sleevers

Just got home from the best surgical Centers i've ever had to stay at. Forest Park Medical Center in Dallas. Was sleeved on Monday, no pain just tired from not sleeping. I plan on getting lots of rest for the next few days.

Surgery was a breeze.... my Dr. was very happy with my pre-diet results. Said liver was so small he hardly noticed it.

He warned me not to weight but I did it any way.... been on nothing but IV drip and Water for last couple days and I weight 8 lbs more than I did when I checked in. That too shall pass along with lots of gas and pee.

My Dr. (Dr. Gregory Barnes) in Dallas managed my pain really well. I'm not hungry but I do need to get down some of the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Soup for Protein.

Don't think i would feel like flying today.... not sure how you guys that travel to Mexico do it. It's not pain but just over all tiredness.

Met several really great people at the Surgical Center (Hey Kelly, what up?) also had awesome nurses.

not sure what details people want to know... just ask and i will try to address your question.

Thanks for all your support!

Thanks for the shout out! (I hope that doesn't count towards my 15 minutes of fame though)- hee hee

I can ditto just about everything you've posted here. I've had a great experience and hope that others reading will be as social too and meet new friends in the hallways as we did. I am very much looking forward to staying connected with you ~ I think you're AWESOME!

Hey, it's my new SMF (Sleeve Mate Forever).

I think we had as much fun in a hospital as possible allowed. I'm doing great this morning. When I first wake up I feel like I did an ab class at LA fitness in the middle of the night but once i get moving all is good.

this was the first morning that I did the whole shower, make-up, hair dry and straighten etc etc... and it feels good to look like a human again.

Well for me it's been back to taking care of my boys. I made dinner for my husband last night (steak and salad) and have been doing minor non-strenuous house work (like dishes and folding laundry) and making school lunches etc.

I will probably go back to work Monday or Tuesday.

I'm looking forward to getting of the clear liquid diet. I need more Protein and I can't do the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth. It is nasty and doesn't taste like any real broth i've every had. I'm not much on the powdery taste. I like reg. Protein shakes and look forward to my first one on monday morning. i've been drinking the V8 juice lite mixed with the Isopure fruit punch protein. I'm just a Water girl and would prefer water but i know i need some calories. I do miss my morning diet Dr. Pepper.

Glad to see you on board.....
