    I got sleeved 3 days ago. I had all the panic attacks and a good one about an hour before surgery. I thought about canceling too because this was my third scheduled date but I thought of the year long

    I'm not sure what sorts of ideas you are looking for, but I'll take a stab at it.... First of all, CUT THE CARBS. Don't eat crackers with your tuna, they are useless nutrition-wise, will make you c

Wow....3days post op w/ sleeve and still in hospital. Couldn't eke anything down and stomach was really swollen so I was on the Iv longer than normal. Finally getting down water and should be discharged today. Can't wait to be completely HEALED rough road but I'm sure it's all worth it.

Post op Day 6 and it's my BIRTHDAY!! Steadily getting in my liquids. Mild nausea and gas pains but no show stoppers. I'm band to sleeve and can say I feel so much better this time around than when my band was installed in 2011. Taking it one day at a time and staying hopeful!!

Easier said than done but I know the end result will be great! I have two friends that have done it and they are both very helpful!

Good for you! So today is your Sleeve Eve?? If so, Happy Sleeve Eve you are going to kick butt! ;)

I think we should do a group text for those of us going tomorrow so we can all chat together. Cannot believe it is tomorrow! I feel like I have a billion things to do today. So anxious, nervous, and excited.

Hello New Jen, How are you doing now? I was sleeved on the 9th... I'm doing ok! Just adjusting to my new life eating schedule! I'm getting my proteins & liquids in just fine! I'm not hungry or full. I'm still sore. I am actually looking forward to when I will feel well enough to exercise... Walking of something!

Are you feeling ok, are you reaching your protein & liquid goals?

Hi! I am scheduled for April 14. I've been on the pre-op diet almost 3 weeks now and I have had my surgery date in place since then. I have been seriously sweating insurance approval, and I just called the office to check on it. I have been approved since last Friday. Arrgghhh! A phone call would've been nice!! :) I have been (well, probably still am) a nervous wreck, and this pre-op diet really sucks. I hope everyone's surgery goes well! I will be biting whatever nails I have left for a few more days :)

Happy V Day to you! You will do awesome!
