Rather than keeping the old January (2011) thread resurrected, I thought it was about time to start a 2012 thread.

I'm scheduled for January 23, 2012, and just got my official insurance approval yesterday.

I am absolutely PUMPED about this surgery. I can't wait... I'm anticipating crazy nerves as it draws nearer, but for now, I'll ride the wave of excitement, thank you very much.

My doctor's office suggested and I have also seen on someone's post here that if you are having trouble getting your protein in post-op then try the protein shots. I know they have fruit punch and grape flavor at Walmart. They have very high protein. The fruit flavor has 20 something and the grape that I saw has 40 something grams.

I have four more days until my new journey begins. Boy, I can't wait for everyone in the January 2012 Sleevers forum to be finished with surgery next week and get to be together on the loser's bench!

I'm three full days out from surgery and kind of starting to feel human again. Comparing how I feel today to how I felt yesterday is like night and day! If you're just coming out of your surgery, hang in there. You'll start coming around in no time.

I totally get you Tenshi, I do not deal good with pain and it was a disaster.

Well It is my 4 th day out today had a little bump on the road, but have now refocused on the thing I need for me to successful. I haven't lost any weight now, hope that's normal. I am sipping water throughout the day and having the isopure protein and kefrin yogurt. So far today: two ounces of protein, two of yogurt and four of water. Little steps I guess.

It is definitely all about the baby steps, 4mykids. I went from barely being able to sit up without discomfort to walking the borders of my local superstore yesterday. I guess it all depends on how quickly your body wants to repair itself, too. I've always been a rather quick healer, so I'm very lucky there. Even if it takes you an extra week to get there, you will.

Hi Everyone,

I had my surgery on the 14th and it was an incredible experience. I went to Mexicalia and Dr. Aceaves was the dr. who performed the surgery. I feel great and am down 15 lbs. so far. I hope all that are waiting for their date have a great experience like I did. Being new to the forum could someone tell me how to get a tracker on my profile?

Yesterday, 4 days post op, I was sooo bored with clear liquids. I tried an Unjury chicken broth. It is really good, tastes like Lipton cup-a-soup, started drinking it faster than I should, OWWW! got halfway through, and could drink no more.

Note to self...LITTLE sips!
