1 week from today we will all be sleeved!!! I plan to take my phone and post as soon as I can after surgery. Would love to hear from each of you as well. Found some Protein Powder today that I like and can mix it with Water. Hoping I can get the stuff down after surgery!!! Have been reading a lot of the post surgery posts and sounds like folks hit a stall in week 3 if they aren't getting enough protein/calories down. Just want to do this already!!! :)

Mizzougirl, good luck on surgery I had mine on may 20 I am feeling good Protein shakes have been hard to get down and they tasted fine before. I just grabbed some Protein Shots. Only 3 ounces and 26 grams of Protein. Where in missouri do u live?

I'm traveling the journey with you. This time next week I would have been sleeved too. I have been thinking about the surgery quite a bit. Im working hard at being positive and excited. I spent today learning how to sip in little quantities. Its awkward but I am going to keep working at it. I start the liquid diet in the morning.

If you all can try to relax and envision your new healthy you. Take deep breaths and enjoy your journey.

Kailisa, glad you're joining us! One more week and we are all going to have our stories to tell. That's great that you are teaching yourself to sip. I think that's a little hard to do, but post surgery we will all be doing that for sure! I love your positive attitude! I've been on my liquid diet for one week ( I have a 2 week total preop) and it gets easier after the first few days. I took a lot of acetaminophen those first three days to help with the headaches :-)

MizzouGirl, I got the Protein Shots at Walmart they are body fortress which was on my list of Protein sources from my surgeon. They are fruit punch flavor. I don't see alot of Missouri sleevers here it would be great to keep in touch.

Wags,

I was sleeved on May 20. I got to the hospital at 5:30 am. Went to surgery at 7 am. Total time in surgery was about 45 minutes. I was in my room at about 10 am. I set a goal to be up and walking at noon. I took my first walk at 12:30. I had alot of nausea from anesthesia, but received medication for it Zofran then Phenergan. I walked a total of 5 times day of surgery. I was discharged at 2 pm on May 21. I have been feeling really good. Just a little sore. Went back to sleeping in my own bed right away using a pillow to splint my stomach( I am a side sleeper). I have not had a big problem getting in my fluids. The Protein shakes I liked on preop diet did not sit well with my stomach(made me a little nauseated) so I went and got the Protein Shots.< /p>

Good Luck May 31st sleevers!

Last day of regular food for me - pre-op diet starts tomorrow.

Day 10 of my Pre-op. Really hard day. Stuck to my plan so far but it was SO hard! Went to the Royals/Cardinals game. So much food, food smells, etc. I'm not hungry at all, but I just wanted to EAT!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
