    Anybody feel like they are nesting (like before you have a kid)? Yesterday I woke up early, washed bedding, washed & folded 5 loads of laundry, vacuumed, laid new carpet, moved furniture, assemb

Thanks for the ideas. I'm getting sleeved on Friday the 19. Did you take anything (beverage wise) with you to the hospital?

Thank you! And I will :)

What I have been doing being on Clear liquids only had surgery Thursday the 11 th is Isopure 1 scoop in 8 oz Water 3x per day. Gives me 75 grams Protein and water mixed. It does take me aan hour or more to finish sipping one. Once 3 then I do broth and water. I have No desire for anything and feel full all the time. Gassy yes both ends I am afraid.

I picked up a case of the isopure drinks today. I'm so set!

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow!!!! yikes

Sweet! Happy Sleeve Day to you! Keep us posted on your recovery.

Mine was the 9th too!! How are you feeling?? I'm up & about but I wish I was more healed than I am.

My surgery is July 22nd. I have been on the preop diet for a week and it SUCKS! The worst part is still having to go out with my wife, friend's, and family, all of whom can eat normally. It is torture to just have to sit there while they eat everything that you used to enjoy eating. I am kind of scared, but I am also excited. I am ready to be sleeved, so I don't feel so terribly hungry all of the time.

I have been walking around the house as for treadmill hope you are not pushing it. I plan to do more as time goes on still very sore. I have to force myself to drink isopure Protein Water to get fluids and protein in. As for my diabetes my blood sugars are running higher not helping in the energy department and I am told rainbow coverage. Meaning I take a dose as needed.

surgery can make your blood sugar go up. my fasting BGL in preop was 84. perfect. my BGL a day later was 204. still hadnt eaten anything. its stress on the body. it should go away.

Hey! Mine was the 9th too - I am feeling awesome, I posted on page 16 bout it - super long, so I wont write it again lol. Recently I noticed yellow bruising on my incision sites, which means they are healing well, thank goodness! I know that the worst is over, and the best is coming. Pain is like a 2, but I tried driving and it wasnt too bad, defininitely doable! I am still on the full liquids for 1 more wk, but Ive been experimenting with small amts of rice, bread (HUGE mistake, dont eat bread so soon!!), and pudding, and so far so good! I know we will be alright jotate! How are you feeling? How is your pain level? Have you tried driving yet??

Happy Sleeve Day to all July 16, sleevers!

Keep us posted when you can. All the best to you!

I'm doing pretty good myself. My incisions look much smaller & the bruising is yellowing. I see my surgeon on Wed so I'm excited to see what he says about my progression. I think I've "cheated" a bit with food, though. I've had cream of wheat & mashed potatoes!! God they were delicious!! Lol I felt fine, though. I still need to be on liquids for one more week ????. No constipation- I'm actually really regular without taking fiber. I've stopped taking my pain medicine, only a little of the nausea meds when I need them. I feel full of energy & find myself pacing a lot. Weird. I'd also say my pain level is 1-2....depends on the day. Keep me posted & keep up the good work....we'll get there soon ????
