I am scheduled to be sleeved on March 3rd. My pre-op diet starts next week. I have so many emotions going through my head right now...excitement, nerves, anticipation, worry...it's unreal! I know at 5'4 and 228 pounds, that it's time to take this weight off for good! I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried about complications but for the most part, I am a very healthy person and I do try to think positive. I try to think about what it will be like to shop for clothes that will look great on me. Sometimes though, I look at my 3 daughters and worry about "What if something goes wrong?". I'm worried about going from full eating to a liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery. I'm not so worried about after because I've been reading that afterwards, you really don't even want anything. Any other March 2014 sleevers?

Jerziegirl: Have been thinking of you today and praying all went well and that the days to come you will have smooth transitions. Keep in touch!

I had my sleeve today and I feel so much better than I thought I would. I'm still a little sore and I just had a wave of nausea but otherwise, feeling good!

Hello All,

I was sleeved on March 3rd and was finally discharged from the hospital today, March 6. I had to stay an extra day because I couldn't keep any liquids down. I got discharged this afternoon and so far I am doing alright. Still sore and a little nervous about what I should eat because I don't want to get sick again. My doctor encouraged me to focus on drinking 64 oz of fluids a day to prevent dehydration but the manual that she gave me stated that there's no way I can consume that amount at the beginning; so I'm confused. Has this happened to anyone else?
