I had surgery yesterday (3/27/12) I'm doing OK. In some pain. I managed 7 laps around nurses station. I've gotten so many compliments on how awesome I'm doing started in recovery room.

My biggest complaints are dry mouth & throat & peeing like crazy. The peeing wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to call nurse every time to unhook everything.

Oh & compression stockings suck. :-(

The pain has been bare able. I knew there would be pain so I guess I can deal cause I was prepared for that.

Congratulations to all of the new sleevers. I had my surgery on Dec 11, 2011 so just before Christmas. Everyone said to me "Are you nuts....it's Christmas and think of all that food that you will not be able to eat." Well I did think about all that food that I would miss but then I thought of all those holidays that I overate and had too many sweets and just one more bite. That is what got me to where I was in my life and I was not happy. I survived Christmas and New Years and I will survive Easter just like all of you will. It is just another day and another meal but it is also Easter will be the first day of the rest of your lives. Enjoy your family, drink your fluids and have some protein.

congrats I had mine on 4/4 and feelgood. not alot of.pain and was able to get 60 grams of protein in.. I like the premier shakes 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. almost got all the water in I have not eaten anything I guess the protein filled me up. when do you notice your first big weight loss?
