Hello Fellow Sleevers,

I was sleeved on the 7th, and am still in the hospital and I feel amazing already. Since I am still on the liquid diet, I was amazed that I became full after eating 3 spoons of Jello. In all honesty food is not on my mind at all.

I am happy to be in the losers bench!!

Im okay with the Water sip, sip, sip which makes me feel full.....yay....until you experience it for yourself, it is hard to explain! However, the gas is what has me floored. How do you pass it?

I am still in the hospital and have yet to try anything so far. I must admit I have seen some improvements since last night. The walking must be helping!

Walking is key to moving gas in the hospital. I also got some relief from doing what I did for my infant daughter: "burping" by patting the left side of my abdoment rhythmically and running my hand from ribs to hips to guide gas out of the large intestine. My nurses gave me a warmed blanket to help relieve muscles locked by morphine; that was heavenly. The best relief came from transitioning off morphine and down to codeine and then children's liquid ibuprofen. Once the narcotics were out, my gut work up and started processing the gas as it should. Hang in there! It gets better.

Finally drifted off about 1:30 but had to get up a couple of times to get rid of all the Water I pounded before midnight. On the way to the hospital now. Good luck all you 10th sleevers!

      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.

      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!!
