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?

How are you doing?

I'm doing ok just gassy that's the worst part but it is what it is !

Congrats to all June sleevers!!!!

Getting sleeved today! Have to be at the hospital at 10' date=' surgery is at 1. Very nervous and excited. Good luck to everyone else that is being sleeved today!![/quote']

Surgery is delayed because the first pt took longer than expected. Been sitting here since 10, becoming more anxious! Ugh!

Things like that happen don't let it sidetrack you, stay calm and postive your time will be soon....sending prayers your way....

Bit sleeved on Monday. That was a rough night. Had dry heaves all night....kept going to the bathroom to pee but couldn't-----beers time I heaved----peed my pants! That was unexpected. Argh. Home now. Set my phone alarm for every two hours to make me get and walk. I feel better laying down than sitting up, but really not too bad! Trying to get liquids down but its hard.

memk - I asked the same question but then I bought a few different ones and tried them myself. I highly recommend that route. Unjury is off the Internet and I liked some of them but not all. I am a chocolate person so I settled on a Isolate chocolate that I got at Vitamin World. I add about 2 teaspoons of my favorite coffee creamer for a change of flavor. Everyone's taste buds vary so check them out for yourself before sinking a lot of money into one kind. I also found a fruit drink at Vitamin World that tastes like a Pina Colada without the rum. It is by CyroSport and is Whey Isolate. No milk base. It seems to be easier on my stomach post-surgery than the shakes.,..,.even the lactose free shakes.

I am sleeved!!! Got it done today, as well as hernia removal/fix, and gallbladder removal! 5 holes...don't know size, still taped up, in bed in hospital until Friday probably....but doing very well

Good to hear u doing well Brenda!!!

Good luck!

I had my surgery on monday and when I woke up I was in so much pain. I asked myself why did you do this?? Once my pain medicine started I stayed asleep most of the time but when I was awake I started throwing up. It was TERRIBLE. I guess my body was not liking the pain meds. I came home yesterday and the 2nd day was soo much better than the first. My bp was elevated last night which have me a headache and I'm soo ready to lose some weight so it will go down permanently. I know everyone's experience is different. I am finding it hard to get my protein in. I can't feel any of my incisions except the large one on my right side. It really does get better each day.

Don't force the protein for a couple of days. At this point drink anything that feels good. I liked Gatorade. By day 4 you will be good to go!
