Sitting in my room. Pain was worse than I thought in big incision area at first. I'm like a racehorse in the halls. Okay I'm lying. I'm like a old woman but I've done five laps. I can't do the pain syrup so no more pain meds for me as of midnight. I'm okay with that. My surgery got bumped to 3 so it's only been a little over twelve hours. No gas pain burping or the other so I'm a bit worried. I have successfully sipped five ounces and kept them down which is amazing because I kept throwing up after the anti nasea meds. Been sleeping good though. Glad to hear you are all doing pretty well. Bug hugs.

Hugssssss!! Get well soon and take it one day at a time!!

Congrats! Just remember..... You are beginning a journey and it was for me the most significant choice I ever made. Take it one day at a time and reach out when you need help. I had my surgery 2 months ago and I am just beginning to learn how to eat with the sleeve. Welcome!

Today is bad but I can do this. Plenty of support. Thank you everyone for your sweet comments. This is only temporary.

Today is hell but tomorrow will be better. I have to keep a positive hat on. This is only temporary but I seriously feel that if I keep dry heaving my insides are going to come outside. :/ I got this. I got this.

Happy Easter!!! Congrats on your surgery! It will be so worth it shortly. ❤️

Happy Easter and congratulations on your surgery ! It's one of the best things I have ever done! It's been 4 months and I'm down about 65 pounds. I feel wonderful! The first 5 days are the worst and then every day after it gets better . Keep the faith and the best of luck to you! :)

Hope you feel better today. Congratulations on your surgery! Best wishes to the journey ahead. Take care.
