Getting my sleeve tomorrow!!! Seems so weird to say that because I've been researching this for two years and finally the day has come!!!!

Do they give you shakes in the hospital or shall I bring my own stuff?

My experience was they give you ice chips while on the IV, but once that was removed I got a tray of food with broth Jello and apple juice. I had to ask the floor nurse for the shakes.

I would recommend you bring baby wipes, chapstick, your phone and charger, and maybe something to read.. You won't be drinking and shakes while in the hospital. They gave me ice chips whenever I wanted & my few meals a day (if I could handle them) those were pudding/gravy/cream of wheat cups. Try to walk as much as you can in the hospital! Also, if you feel nauseous it might be the morphine. Thats what was making me vomit.. BEST OF LUCK!!!!

I'm 9 days post op. The day after surgery, in the hospital, I had some kind of carnation Protein Shake and vanilla pudding. I'm not sure I remember much else other than Water and pain meds. The chap stick is really helpful. While your in the hospital, they should be providing your "meals".

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
