Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

I have read all different responses to "what do you bring to the hospital" question' date=' but want to see if there are any post op sleevers that have some suggestions??

June 11 is coming fast and furious![/quote']

Today is our day!! Good luck to you dear!!

Just packed my lunch for work tomorrow. Beef broth and some jello. S*** just got real. Lol.

I've done great in the pre-op diet' date=' down over 22 lbs so here we go! Good luck to those for June 10 and for those of us June 11 people good luck and see you on the flip side.[/quote']

Congrats! I am the 11th also & go in @ 1:30 so I feel you on the afternoon surgeries. Can you say thirsty? Lol

Good luck!!! Ill be looking for your updates!!!!

Today is FINALLY MY DAY!!!! GOOD LUCK & God be with all my sleeve sisters and brothers today!! We got this y'all!!!

One thing I wish I had packed but didn't was listerine. My mouth was the so dry, and I was not able to eat/drink until after my X-ray to check for leaks. I felt much better after I got the nurse to Bring me some.

Good luck and prayers for quick healing and success for all surgeries today! 2 nd on pre op diet for me!

I had my sleeve on the 6th and just wanted to let those worried that I did really well. I stayed overnight because I use a CPAP but honestly the worst part of this whole thing was the first two days of my pre-op diet. I don't know if it is because I have had major abdominal surgery in the past but this whole thing has been soooo much easier than I anticipated!

I was so worried beforehand to the point that I was contemplating cancelling the morning of the surgery but am SO GLAD I DIDN'T. I had nausea immediately after surgery which they got under control very quickly and since then I have not had any.

I can get my 2 protein drinks down a day (60 g protein) and had a little thinned yogurt, thinned cream of rice but the best thing I have added to my diet was 1/2 cup of low fat cream of mushroom soup...that tasted like real food I also have been adding non-fat dry milk powder to everything it mixes with (i.e. soup, yogurt, cream of rice) to add more protein without adding bulk.

I also went up 6 pounds after the surgery but it is from the iv fluids they pump into you. That came off within a couple of days and now I am down 4.5 pounds from my surgery weight giving me a total of 18.5 including my pre-op diet. I had a little bit of gas but nothing like I am reading on here...so I feel very fortunate and blessed.

I am not going to lie though..,I am worried about the upcoming hair loss :/

Praying everyone else can have a quick recovery also...so glad I went through with my decision...

I'm June 28 also! I haven't seen too many with our date. I guess since its so late in the month

I'm with you on this... My date is also June 24th... Started my diet yesterday and have been starving... What type of diet are you on?!?

I hope everyone has speedy recovery. All I did yestrday after my surgery was sleep. I got up to go the bathroom and then back to bed. I did vomit up some bright blood but it was ok, per MD. I had the dry heaves and that is gone. I feel like I just did abunch of sit ups and really no other pain.. I am waking round the room but that is it I am eatting ice and drinking sip of water,
