Hello all! If interested, I started us a June 2013 Sleevers group so that we can all go through this process together! Hope you will all join and let's lift each other up.

Thanks,

Make that 5! I'm on the 18th too! Can't wait...super excited!

I was sleeved on the 5th as well. I am having trouble with trapped gas' date=' especially after each swallow! I am sipping and plugging my nose, trying not to take in air. Getting fluids in ok, but Isopure makes me throw up. Too sweet! My abdomen is still pretty sore, especially around the incisions.but it's not too bad. Sat not was my first night of a good sleep.[/quote']

I didn't tolerate isopure, I'm drinking the premier Protein shakes. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you. Doing ok. I can drink broth and Powerade just fine. Not allowed to do shakes until after the 12th. The trapped gas is the worst! Lol.

Swansons low sodium chicken broth. Only get it warm, not hot. If you can tolerate beef broth, get Swansons brand as well. I made the mistake is getting the Walmart brand and it was NASTY. The chicken broth is rather soothing on the abdominal pain.

It seems my sleeve likes warm foods more than cold ones. Thanks I will send my boyfriend to pick some up. In the hospital I had beef broth and it went down well.

Glad to hear all are doing well...my questions to all recently sleeved... is what are some of your methods of trying to get fluids in and how much at a time?....

I just sip, sip, sip. Constantly sipping. Mix it up between sweet flavors and savory broths. This way you don't get burned out on one thing.

Luckily I'm able to tolerate the isopure and Premier Protein. Water sits in my stomach like a brick. So I try to get down one bottle of plain water and then I add crystal light or something similar to water for the rest of the day

My surgery date is June 20. This week I met with my surgeon and I am good to go. No pre-op diet. My top weight was 311, today I am 280. I hope to get down to 160. I am 45yr old and have have overweight since about 10yrs old. I am so excited and scared to death at the same time. In all honesty, I am only afraid of failure. Afraid I will go through all this and work so hard just to find out the surgery doesn't work for me. This is as illogical fear. I'm glad to get it off my chest.

Hello all I'm a June sleever as well and only a few weeks from surgery . I'm having mixed emotions of surgery but can't wait to start on my new journey I've been looking forward to this day for a few years and am really nervous about the unknown but I will keep you all updated as the day gets closer and after ! I wish everyone luck and best wishes on your journey!
