I'm off to the hospital in the next hour or so--arrival time for surgery is 10 a.m.! Wish me luck--I'm so nervous I can barely see straight--I'm so eager to be on the sleeved side!

I'll try to post as soon as I'm coherent and able to check in with you guys! :wub:

Congrats and good luck!

I wish it was me.... I've got another month to go. Best wishes for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

Hope all went smoothly!!! Best wishes!

I hope it went well. I was sleeved on July 1st, I am home and feeling pretty good. Excited to start my new life!

It went off without a hitch--now my only issues seem to be getting all my fluids in, and finding a way to tame the terrible tummy growls/twists that happen every time I take a sip.

Other than that, I would say I'm at about 85% of my usual energy levels.

Congratulations. I'm glad to hear everything went ok. I hope my surgery goes as smooth as yours.

I'm sure it will, Linda!

I am glad it went well. I am having the same troubles with my stomach. Takes me forever to get my meds in. Today I have to get 64oz in.

My postop diet is the following:

weeks 1-3 liquids(clear the first week then full the next two weeks)

week 4 pureed

week 5 soft diet

It is going ok since I don't feel hunger but I am always thirsty. I do not like Jello and the broth makes me nauseous. So I am very limited here with options. I am counting the hours until Monday when I have my postop appointment and can start full liquids.

What is your postop diet?

My surgeon had me spend the day of surgery on IV fluids only (nothing by mouth).

The next day, I was allowed water at breakfast, and clear liquids at lunch.

At dinner on day 2 I was allowed full liquids, and after breakfast on day 3 I was discharged.

I'm assigned to full liquids for the next two weeks; then I'll graduate to mushy/pureed foods.
