      I'm so excited for you! I'm still about 2-3 months out from mine, and I'm so very excited. I can only imagine how excited you must be now! Good luck to you, and keep us posted about how it goes!

    I'm nov 12th too! I'm having a hard time trying to avoid the "last meal" syndrome. Do you have to do a pre op diet?

    Hey folks...I'm sleeved! Everything went well yesterday. Very little pain and no nausea, just really sleepy. I'm going for my barium swallow test soon. I hope it goes well so I can finally drink something. So far my recovery has been remarkably smooth. I hope it is/was for everyone here!

    Hey KansasFan - I am on Protein drinks for two weeks. All clear liquids would be very hard.

    For those of you who had surgery this week - how did it go?

    Hi Everyone! Yesterday was a little rough for me, trying to get liquids in and all. Paranoid about dyhyrdration. Doing much better today got a lot more liquids down and I can even lay on my stomach for short periods of time (with only a little discomfort). Oh and I don't need the pain meds.

    Gabby,

    Sounds like you're doing really well considering the huge surgery you just had a couple of days ago! I hope I'm off pain meds 4 days after! But I'm sure you still feel a little rough. Good luck for continued comfort and success! Can't wait to hear more as time goes on!

    How is everyone. I am starving! That's my only complaint. Can't wait to start some normal foods Thursday. I hope this is just head hunger.
