September 2013 sleevers..Requesting sleeve buddies :)

Hi everyone! I'm a few weeks from my gastric sleeve surgery. My date is Sept 10th..(fingers crossed) I have been doing a lot of research as for what I need to buy for my liquid diet and ideas to make my shakes taste better. I already have my list for what Im bringing to the hospital. I feel like I'm missing something. Any ideas? Ive yet to buy my multi vitamins and my calcium chews. My next appt I will need to buy my shakes and begin my liquid diet. I would love to have some friends who are taking the same journey as me..someone who can relate..thanks in advance!!xoxo

  • JodiAnn, my surgery is one week away and I'm having those same feelings on and off. I have been on pre-surgery diet for a week now and lost 6 lbs. so I feel I wish I could just do it on my own. Then

Ah! I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight! I have to be at the hospital at 10 tomorrow.

I only slept about 3 hours before my surgery. You'll sleep there. How did it go?

Omg, I'm getting sleeved tomorrow! This is really happening!!! Good luck to everyone else who is on the 27th or after :-)!

I'm on the 28th! 9am I have to be there. Not drinking water is gonna suck. I'm going to give it all I got and then surrender to this process. I know it's the right thing to do. I want my energy and life back.

I hope all is well!

You will do great! Come join me on the losers bench! Lol my surgery went very well and I feel fairly good

Hi guys! My surgery went very well! No complications at all. I'm still in the hospital, I got up last night to walk, I must say, it wasn't easy. I feel that the surgery went a lot better than the recovery. I'm in so much pain when i take a deep breath or when I try to get up! Ouch! And I've been getting pretty nauseous. I haven't been allowed any liquid yet apart from ice, which doesn't really help the nausea. Whatever little movement I make, I get nauseous. How are you doing CoraLD77?

Oh and one more thing, I'm starving! Maybe it's because I haven't had anything yet in over 24hr hours, but i feel almost like my stomach is intact and asking for food! :-S

My surgery went really well, I've been up walking lots and I'm not overly sore except for a bit of gas. Definitely not hungry! I've had lots of ice and a few sips of water. No nausea here at all.

I had my sleeve yesterday at 10am in Piedras Negras, Coahuila Mexico with dr Alverez. I had very little pain on left side and no gas pains yet. Knock on wood!! It almost seems so surreal.... Surely it can't be this easy.

Hang in there it will get better.

Thanks so much. Glad you are doing well.

Thanks. Today, I actually feel worse than I did yesterday. I was told that it's because I may still have had some anesthesia wearing off slowly yesterday. I might stay in the hospital a day or 2 more than anticipated... I just hate the nausea, it's one of the worst... :-(

Can't they give you something for the nausea?
