August 2013 Roll Call

[natynat22 95]

I get sleeved on the 14th. My biggest fear is the mental desire to eat things just bc I recall how good they taste. Have your desire or cravings for food vanished?

I have the Hosp preop today including the class, praying it all goes well.

Congrats on doing so well

I will tell you the head hunger never goes away. I just keep reminding myself that I did this for a reason and that the head hunger will only be temporary! It will get better! The shakes are the worst part but small sacrifices for large gains remember!

Done with the testing... Which was really nothing...EKG... Vitals... A million questions and labs...

yeh I had to do the liquid diet. Honestly it is not that bad! You will be fine! I was SO worked up for this surgery. I cried the entire time before my surgery....I cried to my nurse....I cried to the anesthesiologist....I cried to my surgeon....and honestly....I was up and walking 2 hours after surgery. I am sore yes....but not AT ALL like I thought it would be! The pre diet gets easier after a couple of days and the liquid diet after surgery is completely supported by the hospital staff so they make it super easy! You will do great! IN my thoughts1

Thanks for the encouragement! Glad it all went well wit you too.

Only a couple more days till my surgery!!!! Getting my bedroom together and prepped since I have no hospital stay. I'm encouraged to hear that people are up walking around the same day as surgery. Congratulations to all the 8/5 sleevers and Good Luck to the 8/6 sleevers ! Hugs xxx Jeanie

I'm 3 days post op today and I look and feel about 5 months pregnant from the tummy bloat! Anyone else experiencing this? I'm not sweating it, I'm sure it's totally normal after surgery, but wondered if something you did helped with the bloaties?

Yes I had this and it is finally going away at 5 days post op.....walking!!! farting and burping were the only things that helped!! Good luck!

Sleeved!!! Surgery went well. I stayed 2 nights in the hospital, planned on one but I was so nauseated they kept me a second night as I wasn't drinking enough to go home. For me the worst part was the pain meds and anesthesia. when I asked for them to stop with the morphine, I felt 100% better. The pain is not that bad, maybe a 6. Glad to be over that hump!!
