I'm sleeved! my surgery was around 10:30am PST. I'm slow out of anesthesia and waking up is never fun. It wan't painful, I just felt uncomfortable with the oxygen mask.

I arrived in my room a little before 2pm and my friend came to the room then. My first nurse was sleeved 8 months ago so we chatted some but I was very tired and starting to fall asleep on them so they let me sleep.< /p>

I felt really good when I woke up and they tried to get me up. Nausea hit me really hard so I didn't walk then but I did jet up later and walked down the hall.

dinner was chicken broth, watered down apple juice, Jello and a Popsicle. Broth worked, apple juice was ok not great and jello & Popsicle were a no go! can't do sweet.

I don't have any gas pain yet and very little pain. The nausea is the only thing bothering me so far.

Weird thing, I weighed 11lbs less today than I weighed on Thursday. Must just be water-weight.

Wooooooohoooo! Congrats on your surgery!!!!!!

I'm so happy you are doing well! I didn't have any gas problems, but my nausea was super bad. I had to stay in the hospital longer than expected, but they did everything possible to help me manage. You are very fortunate to have a nurse who has been through the procedure. I think he/she will be the greatest ally during you're stay! Take care and keep us posted!

Congratulations on being an official "sleever"! I too had tremendous problems with nausea. They were able to give me something to help control it, thank goodness. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Still doing well! They drew blood this morning and took out the catheter. I was up walking in the middle of the night. I seem to be burping quite a bit. I was able to swallow my thyroid pill this morning and they are going to transition me to oral pain meds. I think I forgot to mention they fixed a hiatal hernia while they were inside.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
