Ccaramel27- that's so funny you mentioned wondering if you even had the sleeve. I felt the same way a few days ago. I thought since it didn't seem as hard as I expected, maybe it wasn't done. I know that seems crazy, but I've come to realize it is a tool. It is not so restrictive that you can't override it. I have had head hunger past few days and ate a few things I shouldn't ( bite of sweet potatoes, sf pudding) I met my NUT for first post- appointment and talked about the fact that I'm struggling with this. I guess I thought my desire for trigger foods would magically disappear, but the mental triggers are still there. Definitely going to work on this next few months.

I'm determined to be successful.

I am getting my sleeve Friday. YAY!!! I'm so anxious and excited and nervous all at the same time. I can't wait though. Just praying for no compilations and speedy recovery. Sooo close.

What is the bowel prep drink I keep reading about? I am scheduled for surgery on 2/24 and was never told that I would need to take something like that?

Not all surgeons require it. It's basically a cleanse of your intestines/colon/etc.

My surgeon said he's likes to do it because when working in the abdomen and so close to intestines during the surgery, he just likes knowing the intestines and everything are empty in the event they get nicked or cut or something.

At least it's their problem once you get the IV. They give you that dose of versed and you're out! You won't care after that. Lol!

Hahahahaha. True! My tummy has gurgled some, but nothing is happening. Heh.

Maybe since I pooped this morning, I just don't have much in me... And all I've had today is 2 gaterades and the 2 powerades with the Miralax. And I've been on liquids only, soooooo. Yeah.

Good luck SJ. I'm also from Michigan and got my sleeve on 2/11/14 in Niles, MI. I also didn't have much happen with the bowel drink.

Good to know! Both my friends that had this surgery in December said they had lots of poop! I was getting "worried" haha.

Niles isn't toooo far from here! How's the snow?! Hahaha. So sick of it.

Loved seeing the temps in the 40's today. Roads are still messy from the 6" we got yesterday. Can't wait until I can walk outside.

Same here. I can't wait until the huge snow piles are gone and I can really see if it's safe for me to go or not.

Yes. It's a noisy little newborn! Cooing and gurgling. But I haven't had any cramping or major discomfort. You're still in the hospital? Everything okay? Maybe my days are just running together. Lol.

Yes still in the hospital! My surgeon said he likes his patients to be in the hospital for 2 full nights :/ so ready to be home and get a decent amount of rest! But I guess it's better to be safe than sorry

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
