I'm set up for February 4th. Seems like forever away. People keep telling me, "oh don't worry". It bugs me cause I'm not worried. What seems to keep popping in my head is, am I doing the right thing.

I would like to here what others are thinking, going through.

My Doctors plan is two days preop clear liquid, not 10 like I've been reading on here. Anyone else similar?

Thanks,

Kimo

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. I made it to the losers bench! I'm sleeved! Surgery went well...lost 14 lbs on pre OP diet which was the Atkins induction diet. I'm still in hospital until tomorrow hopefully...pain meds and nurses are awesome...the breathing spirometor(sp) is a big help. Still pretty nauseous when I get up to walk but it helps Sooooooooo much with the gas pains which have been the worse....looking forward to talking to my surgeon this morning and will keep u all posted...only have been able to eat ice chips so far and honestly that's all I have wanted....love u all and good luck to the remaining Feb sleevers...we have seats open on the loosers bench!

Glad it went well!! Best wishes for a speedy recovery

Checking in on my Feb. 20th sleevers. I was supposed to be one of you but mine got delayed till early March.

Are y'all home? Doing ok?

Was sleeved on Feb 19th. Was discharged yesterday. Sipping crystal light every five minutes. Incisions feel ok. Can't sleep on my stomach but I got about four hours sleep. Feel everything that passes through stomach. No nausea or vomit. Sound normal?

I don't know if it's normal or not but sure hoping I feel the same way!

Congrats!

I'm not sleeved yet. Surgery on 2/26. Congrats! I hope my experience is similar to yours.

I've been cutting back my coffee, down to one small cup in the morning. Today I'm starting going caffeine-free. Is it time for a nap?

I'm 18 days post op. had a regular cup of coffee and it was marvelous! Having trouble tolerating soft foods though and figuring out when I had enough until its too late. then i get that awfully uncomfortable feeling between my shoulder blades that I ate too much or too fast. I wish I could just stay on liquids. It was so much easier for me!! I just need to S-L-O-W down!!!

I too have had issues knowing is enough. So I just stick with 1-2 tablespoon and that's it that way I dont over do it

I quit Diet Coke about a month ago. It was so hard and the headaches were terrible but now I'm fine and rarely find that I want one. Best of luck to you!

I had extreme neasuea the first 20 hours....none since

I don't know if it's normal or not but sure hoping I feel the same way!

Congrats!

I know that I was extremely nauseous but all it turned out to be was gas coming up, but seriously it felt exactly like I was going to throw up and then it would just be a burp!

Hi everyone, this is my first post- I'm getting sleeved Monday (the 25th) I'm nervous and excited - it'll be at st Agnes in Baltimore, is anyone else going(or gone) there?

nausea is the worst, not looking forward to that, ugh
