Congrats my is tomorrow as well going in for 8:30am and surgery at 10:30am your sleeve sister yaay I'm so nervous and excited

I'm excited and nervous at the same time! I truly believe if this wasn't meant to happen I would have had hiccups with all the preop testing. But it has been smooth sailing! Ahhhh! It's really here!!

Good for you guys on the 21st! I'm sure that you are so excited! Wishing you all a speedy recovery!

Its my day too -- in the hospital - first IV line running down -- Its finally here - See u on the other side folks,by the time I get done,here in India, you will be waking up for the day ahead !!!

Good luck!!!

I'm here! I feel fantastic!!!!!

30hrs aftr surgery - extreme gas discomfort - got antibiotic injection for that. Rest all good - walking alot , getting IV continuously. Leak test tomm & then some water comes my way

2 day update, came home the day after surgery, I think I pushed it a little bit! Was really sore this morning but pushed myself into drinking some liquid and did just fine!! I've been in the bathroom constantly so I must be losing the 10 pounds of Water weight I gained from the IV'S. My shower felt wonderful!!!

How is everyone else doing?

Sleeved on the 21st have indigestion having a hard time w my liquids how much are you drinking cause I'm only drink 6oz and 3oz of Jello a day I think I'm scared from all the vomiting I did in the hospital for two day I'm down 10 pounds since yesterday I'm still so very sore it hurts when I swallow

Oh! I didn't have any indigestion! Geez, sounds terrible! I'm not getting in all my liquids but I'm not sweating it since I know I will gradually have to get them all in!

I was sleeved on 1/21/2013 as well. First night went really smoothly with the IV full of pain med. I felt great. I walked a lot. Soreness but no real pain. The next day I was told I was going to be released. I got off the morphine at 9AM. Things dragged and my pain levels increased over time. Then I was told that I may have a leak. Pain seemed more intense at that point. I took percocets and felt better. My Dr came in and told me that my gastric scan looked fine and I had no leak. He said the radiologist didn't know what he was looking at. Everything felt better immediately. I was released on Wednesday at 4PM and have been taking 2 percocets every day just to keep ahead of pain... but there isn't too much pain. The worst is a pain in my right shoulder from gas but it is bearable. RIght now I'm sitting on a couch with my 6 year old and he is bouncing non-stop. That doesn't feel great He can't help himself.

Diet has been ok so far. I felt dehydrated this morning and have tried to drink a lot. Crystal Light goes down much easier than Water. I've had 40oz today and 16oz of Protein shake w/ milk. I also had a cream of vegetable Soup that was a tasty change from the usual.

My belly always feels stuffed from all the liquid. I suppose this is normal due to swelling and the volume of liquid.

I haven't weighted myself yet. I just bought a Withings scale that will be delivered tomorrow. I'm psyched to start this new phase of my life. I want a life that doesn't revolve around food, weight, and diets.

No regrets so far. I made this choice. I own it.

How are you able to get that much liquids in

I don't know. I always have my crystal light next to me and am sipping frequently. I tried hard today because my calves have been crampy, which is a sign of dehydration. I hope I'm not over stuffing my sleeve. Calories wise, I've had 587 today with 81 grams I protein... Not inducing my Percocet laced sugar free chocolate pudding.

Day 4- My World feels good !!! Back home yesterday, haven't weighed myself (I dont have a scale) , no pain as such but i cant lie down flat, have been sleeping in inclined position since surgery.

Diet wise - its only Clear Liquids till 10th Feb, though the doc said i can chew stuff and throw it away & gargle my mouth after some time if i have the urge to bite into something
