My surgery is scheduled for this Wednesday the 9th! Up until today, I have been pretty calm. But now I'm suddenly terrified. So anxious about the pain, the nausea, possible complications, everything negative! Mostly I am only scared of the recovery. I feel like I can stick to the eating plan and do what I need to do to be successful....as long as I don't have complications and be in so much pain and nauseas. Any advice? :(

Hi there!

Good luck on your upcoming sleeve. I just had mine done in Dallas on 12/31/12. I had many of the same concerns' date=' but just know you be okay.

I was able to get up and walk the halls with no problems at all - not too much pain. I threw up twice in the hospital but it was due to the pain meds they gave me - I had to take something different. I haven't thrown up since I've been home. Just be sure to get up and walk it off when you feel nausia and / or gas pains come on.

You will be told to sip sip sip the fluids and be like, well, hello, I can only take one sip and I'm done. That's normal. I am 6 days out from surgery and so much better already. I am drinking Protein shakes now and could have never imagined it in the beginning. chicken bouillon cubes are my favorite.

Anyway - just take it one day at a time and if things don't go exactly as you thought they would - it's okay. It's a temporary situation and it will get better.

Good luck.[/quote']
