Hello all!

Glad to have found this forum. I've been flipping through the messages for encouragement as I prepare for my sleeving in two days. It's funny how the process seems sooooo long and yet now I almost can't believe it's already time!

Today and tomorrow I'm on clears, which I hadn't considered would be suffered through with my OLD stomach. Ah well. I think most of the hunger at this point is head hunger. I hit the growlies several hours ago, so I'm hoping the worst is behind me.

I've scheduled a 90 min. massage for tomorrow afternoon as a bit of pampering. Plus, I'm hoping my body will be more forgiving of the "trauma" I've inflicted upon it if I'm really nice to it first

Thanks to all of you who have shared your experiences, advice and encouragement here on this forum. Hopefully I'll soon be able to pay it forward with others! Having your posts to read through have definitely helped calm my nerves.

Good for you. you desrve it. I will take a page from your book and do the same thing. Good luck!

Thanks for the well wishes They were definitely needed - ugh!

Had to spend an extra day in the hospital as I could not keep the smallest sip of Water down. Had them stop my pain meds on Day Two and that seemed to do the trick.

Came home yesterday and am feeling pretty good. Learning how to work this new tummy!
