I'm showered and packed and getting ready to leave for the hospital.

Please keep me in your prayers that all goes well for a smooth surgery and recovery.

My nerves are all over the place this morning and I couldn't sleep last night.

Praying for you!

Hoping all goes well, my friend. It's your new birthday! CELEBRATE!

Congrats!! Wishing you the very best!

Hugs! You're in Gods hands and you'll do great!

Good luck today! You will do great! Please update when you feel up to it!!!

Thanks gals! I'm home and I'm feeling pretty well. I have 5 incisions, 1 hurts and i can barely tell the other 4 are there.

So far I have minimum gas pain, but I do have some.

It's a long road ahead, but as soon as the acute pain goes away I know I'll feel better.

You are going to do great! Congratulations!

Congrats on joining the ranks of the sleeved! I can't wait to be there too! Take it easy and keep us updated as you are able. So glad everything went well for you and you aren't having too much pain!

Congrats!!! Glad to hear you are doing well. I will be joining you on the bench this Thursday!

You will do fine! Just do what your dctor says! Congrats!

Congrats we are very close in dates. Hope you are feeling better.

I will say the hardest thing for me today is getting my Water in. I think by the time i finish this bottle I've got going on, I'll have had close to 40 oz.

I'm giving myself a little leeway today, but I know I'll have to figure it out tomorrow.

I also feel like I'll never get in enough fluid and protein.

It's a full time job. I am able to get down one shake a day and chicken broth goes down easily. I haven't started back on all my vitamins yet have you? Do you swallow any? Can I chew my chewables well at this point?

No, I'm gonna start my vitamins when I can do full liquids. I'm still on Clear Liquids for a couple more days and since those aren't clear, I'm not going to risk it. I'm taking my PPI and Reglan and liquid Lortab as prescribed, but other than that, it's been broth, Water, sf popsicles, Isopure artic punch and a little bit of sf Jello. Sleevy McSleeverson isn't rejecting any of it (knock on wood) and I'd like to keep it that way.
