Wednesday is fast approching, getting a little more nervouse each passing second....How is everyone else doing?

Surgery was one week ago today! I am now starting soft foods and doing great! I gained about 8lbs from iv fluids in the hospital, but it was back off in 2 days. After that I started dropping about 3 lbs per day!!

Surgery date changed to Thursday January 30. I hope everyone going well. Good luck steph. How did surgery go???

I was sleeved today...or i'll now say yesterday...at 10am. The surgery went great!!! The pain is and always was pretty manageable, my throat is just a tad bit raw, I had one small episode of vomiting, and the staff at the hospital has made me very comfortable. But here in Jersey, the time is now 2:54am...why am I still awake? Because my roommate has decided to wait until 12:30 am to complain non - stop about everything, and now says the pain in his leg is totally unbearable. I understand that pain is pain...I really do...But even after medications were given and everything, I think he's just cursing and swearing and speaking at the top of his lungs just to hear himself speak...No rest for the weary tonight.

BryBro so glad you are doing well. I know you were relieved to open your eyes and see a hospital room. Keep us posted on your progress.

Surgery is at noon today and it's 3:50 am and I am wide awake!! I am hungry from being on liquid diet and my nerves are out of wack. I keep thinking of how badly I want this and that is my motivation. I fear that I will vomit. And/or that the nausea will be unbearable. The Dr said he has 5 different nausea Meds to give me but I worry they won't work. Good luck to all of my fellow Sleevers today!!!!
