Now 11 days post op and I feel amazing! If anyone on this thread hasn't gotten their sleeve yet or are on the fence about it... DO IT! I am so happy with the results so far!

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!!!!

Your going to do great, what a wonderful Christmas gift and start to the new year coming up, stay blessed and keep us posted.

Thank you friends, much appreciated! Great tips Adam!

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".
