Getting sleeved on Monday!

I am scheduled for sleeping on Monday! I cannot believe how fast time has gone by! I am very excited yet nervous at the same time. Can anyone share things they are or were nervous about?

    Sleeved 4/29/13 update...so I'm now 4 days post op. Recovering has been challenging, yesterday was the first day that I felt like I'm getting better. Those gas pains were trapped for the first 2days,

I'm not hungry either but I find myself fantasizing about food anyways. Really looking forward to the soft foods stage.

Other than that I'm feeling fantastic, lots of energy, healed fast with little discomfort :)

I don't know what I really expected but I am surprised how difficult it is too drink and stay hydrated. There is discomfort when I drink feels like something is squeezing my insides. Another surprise is that I'm never hungry' date=' which I guess is good. I need to find a new love lol[/quote']

I feel the same way!. I was also sleeved on 4/29. I have no idea why I felt so prepared lol- now I'm finally feeling a little better but recovery was odd for me too. I'm terrified of becoming dehydrated( but it's so hard to drink that much!) I've lost 15lbs so far- cant wait to start going to the gym I wanna work on not having that much skin!

It may sound weird but I had a dream the other day w food. So weird. I too can not wait for soft food diet(4 more days!!) tuna, chilli, scrambled egg I want it!! Haha

Hey everyone....in the ER with dehydration been here all day. Went for my post op visit and was sent here. I'm feeling a lil better but kinda worried about going home. It is very hard for me to get these liquids in, my stomach keeps hurting and squeezing.....hope to feel normal soon

Oh no! My Dr said the same thing when I went for post op yesterday but just told me to drink water. It is very hard to stay hydrated.

If I set my water down I don't drink so I'm just walking around with a water bottle now everywhere I go, even if I'm using the restroom lol and just consciously telling myself drink drink drink!!!

I'm so sorry for you're troubles Nikki, hope you're feeling better and out of there soon. Thinking of you!

Thank you. I'm home now feeling a lot better. I'm going to be forcing my self to drink from now on. Don't want to end up in the ER again. They tested for leaks and eveything came up fine. So just had bags and bags of fluids. So now I just need to say hydrated :-)
