I agree with you. The only thing is I sleep early b/c I be hungry.

I was sleeved yesterday but this has been my first chance to post. I feel discomfort not pain, bit nauseated but they keep on top of that with meds. Managing to sip water, but first few times felt like a golf ball going down and a lot of resistance. Its getting easier, There are defo worse things you can go through- so far so good- keeping everything crossed my recovery continues like this.

Get well soon to everyone who's been sleeved the last few days.

We're doing this!!!!

#onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

ON MY WAY IN....AND IM FEELLN GOOD! Many blessings to everyone else going in today!

I'm alive and kicking! Surgery about 19 hours ago and I've already walked a few times and peed :-). The pain is starting to kick in, do not be a "hero", use the meds! No liquids so far, but I asked for a washcloth to keep my mouth hydrated and clean. Heating pad and lip-balm are lifesavers!

Going back to sleep. Thanks for the support octosleevers!

Im on day 6 of my liquid diet and my mouth is sooooooo dry. I drink 2-3 protein shakes a day. Chocolate peanut butter protein powder shake. I add bananas and peanut butter for extra protein. But know that the reason my mouth is dry is cause of water. I need to drink alot more. Cant wait til the liquid diet part of all this is over and i can eat actual food again. I think this is the hardest part. My surgery is the 10th and as it gets closer. I get more nervo us. It will be here before i know it.....

I so feel your symptoms..dry mouth and wanting to get back to real good. I'm on day 9 of 15!!

Liquid diet today....yeah for me! In tomorrow at 5:30am.....first on their menu for the day. It's ok tho. I think the butterflies are starting to flutter now.....smh. I'm just gonna stay calm today and relax. I've got a early start in the am' date=' I'm like 2 hrs away. But nevertheless, I'm gonna enjoy my liquids....lol[/quote']

Good vibes your way on your new journey as I pray god covers you this morning in surgery! Hoping for a speedy recovery for you and all of us scheduled on this thread!

I'm pretty nauseous this morning. I had my surgery on Wednesday. I'm trying to drink my Unjury broth but for some reason it's tasting horrible today. I'm not as swollen as I was, thankfully. Good luck to everybody!
