I finally have my surgery date (8/14) and I am beyond excited. Looking for some sleeve buddies to go through this process with. I have been making changes already and so far so good. I have increased my activity level and stopped drinking Diet Dr Pepper, which was a huge change for me. What is everyone else doing to prepare? Does anyone who is post op have any helpful tips for things to have on hand after surgery?

Hey Rbert' date=' glad to know you are feeling great. I am so nervous about the gas pains everyone complains about...[/quote']

I had gas pain on the same night of my sleeve and the next day but today I feel great. I had 3 evolve protein shakes, 1 orange jello, lots of water and I feel good. I know I was on Anti nausea medication and still on liquid pain killer but walking also helped me a lot. Being home helped ease my mind as well

congrats

Thank you

Hello from the other side! I'm sleeved without any problems. My stomach is pretty sore (feels like I've done a thousand crunches!) but over all I am doing well. I've been walking to help with the gas pain, which has done me a world of good. I'm counting down the seven hours until I can have some ice chips, then I will be a happy camper!

I am sleeved!! I'm 3 days out and I feel like I have a fever. I check my temperature like every second and its below 100. Anyone have this issue?

Have you taken a shower yet? I felt like that until I did. Nausea?

As gross as it sounds but I am scared. I was sleeved on Monday and its Thursday!! I know gross. But really scared. I have been using baby wipes. I am so ready. Good thing I'm home.

No nausea.

I had my Sleeve done this Monday Aug 12th. I was in a little pain after and better the next day. Today I am back home and feeling great. I have been sipping water and Evolve Protein Shakes. So excited to begin this journey.

I'm on the 19th as well. Good luck. How's the pre-op going? I am not doing that great...lost 3lbs...

Went to my primary care Dr and lost 7 lbs so far on my pre-op liquid diet.. hoping to lose at least a total of 10 before my surgery on Monday! Fingers crossed!

I know that it's kind of late in the day but I want to wish all the 8-15 sleevers good luck! Hope that you all have smooth surgeries and speedy recoveries!

I'm also the 26th! I started my pre-op on Tuesday. I'm on all liquid (no sugar, calories, carbonation) except a 4oz lean protein and 1/2C starch-free veggie for my dinners. It's pretty rough. Can't wait for the 26th!!!
