Sleeved on Feb 1st.. Surgery went great... Doc says liver was perfect... After recovery they put me in a room ( didn't notify my family) and left me for an hour. I was in so much pain it was in my back...once I got pain medicine they had to alternate with two different kinds b/c they i went so long without meds.. They had to get it under control... Finally I was told that I was not in the hospital records so they could not give me pain medicine right away.. But the good news is I'm home...feel much better just a little sore..

Congrats on getting your sleeve. I'm glad everything went okay :-)

So I am on my week long liquid diet before surgery. Would it be so bad if I had a chunk of prime rib during the Super Bowl?

Sent from my iPhone using VST

So, I went to the Super Bowl party, served 40+ pounds of prime rib and sirloin and potatoes ham etc. I have to admit that I had a couple of small pieces of prime rib and that is it. I know I shouldn't have had any,, but considering I would normally have had pounds of meat, I am pretty proud of myself. Wednesday will not come soon enough!

Yes, I understand! The Protein is curbing my hunger, but I feel like I'm missing something. My life has revolved around food for so long, now what?

Hi! New to this site :) I am being sleeved February 25th in Missouri through the hospital where I work as a nurse. Excited and nervous :) My son was sleeved December 17,2012 and is down 90 lbs. He lost 30 lbs prior to surgery but 60 in the past 6-7 weeks. Good luck to everyone!

What part of Missouri?

Totally understand. I'm generally a chocoholic but lately I just want a big plate of enchiladas with red sauce and sour cream. I about ripped my poor husbands head off for setting his bag of chips next to me during the game so that he could go get more queso. I bet he doesn't do that again! And I've got 17 more days of this. Seriously, how many more shakes can I put down before I find myself plowing my car thru the plate glass window of the closest all you can eat buffet down the street!

I just posted this in the main forum. We're all preops in here, but I'm sharing it anyway.

Well, I'm officially on my two-day clear liquid only diet as of two hours ago. I can actually only have Water from now until tomorrow afternoon because I have to get some labs done at my cardiologist. On the one hand, I was not terribly excited about that, but on the other, the clear Protein Shake will look like a feast by the time I get to it. I can't believe this is it. I have this slight panicky feeling that's trying to tell me that the dinner I had tonight was my last enjoyable meal ever. I know that's not the case, and even if it was the case, I'd still know I had to do this surgery. I feel the freak out creeping up on me a little at a time as I get closer to walking into that hospital Wednesday morning. All I can do is take one breath at a time, and one step at a time, and just do this. Okay, as I write this, I'm really feeling how terrified I am. I need some words, please. Some people to tell me how worth it this was to them, and how much better they felt in the weeks and months after surgery.

Hi, good luck! I'm a week sooner on the 11th. One week from today. Yikes. If you have any questions let me know. I'm home Thursday but late. So I could answer on Friday the 15th.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
