  • Surgery scheduled tomorrow at 7 am. I've been fine until now. As I sit I'm the airport I feel tears welling up...I'm a bit overwhelmed with emotion. I'm extremely proud and happy for taking this step

  • I just got word today! Mine is scheduled for November 13th! Just a week & 1/2! When they called to schedule, I just started crying. She said the 13th was the only available day and asked if it w

    Yippee! I am done! Just had my barium swallow and it's all good! Seriously best perk so far is the fact I could only swallow 2 sips of the barium!! New life here I come!

I was sleeved on 11/19 and I am still having a heck of a time with fluids. I am lucky if I get 25 oz in a day! 1/2 of that is usually a protein shake so I am getting some protein but not near enough. My stomach just does not like drinking a ton! How is everyone else doing?

Because i was a revision Its taking me longer due to scar tissue.. Liquids for the most part are fine .. I get in probably 36 oz of liquid a day but I cant drink any protein .. it does not sit will with my stomach , I was revised on the 14th and still am not on mushy foods or pureed foods like most people. The closest I can eat and keep down are refried beans .. doc told me to just keep trying .

I was sleeved the 19th as well and am having the same problem! I get one protein shake a day and some fluids. I really need to work harder on it but I am just not hungry/thirsty and now that the vitamins and calcium are added to the mix I just don't see how I can do it! A little more each day is my goal. I feel like I would have to constantly be putting something in my mouth to reach the amounts we are supposed to be getting. I feel pretty good though and went back to work yesterday 11/26. I have a desk job and am not in any pain so I held up well. Although I did go to bed at 8pm last night because I was pretty tired. Lost 10.5 lbs since morning of surgery!

Im hitting a wall when it comes to energy too ! I have none !! Ugh

Surgery yesterday went well. No issues other than a few moments of nausea but they started diluting the pain med in my IV and that solved that! I never once used my morphine drip. Didn't need it at all

Just got approved to be discharged. So happy to be going home and getting started on the new me!

I hope everyone else is doing great!

Thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts and prayers. They were very much appreciated!

Take care everyone!

I just got sleeved yesterday afternoon. No appetite what so ever. I go home tomorrow. I was walking around about 2 hours after recovery. Very little gas and almost no pain and very little nasea. No dizziness. I didn't drink anything yesterday but i have drank 2 20 bottles of water with crystal light. I do feel how week my bod is though.

AAnd my discharge paperwork says liquid diet and if I don;t feel satisfied cream soups. It says if it will go threw a straw you can have it...funny though cause they won't even let you use a straw....but I get it....

1 week post op today and I am down 24lbs, I had part of a protein shake, water, and tonight I am dining on soup. I am glad to be on full liquids....

I'm tomorrow! Holla!

Hollaaaaa! Lol...look forward to welcoming you to the losers bench! Our prayers are with you!
