I was sleeved at 10 am today. I've been on morphine and anti nausea meds throughout the day. I'm mostly just sore at this point. I've been walking around in the hospital and have no problems with it. The worst part was obviously in recovery. My gas pain has been minimal I'm guessing due to my walking.

Congrats to my other July 14th sleevers! Make sure to get some walking in there!

I had mine done on Monday as well. I did pretty well in the hospital but now that I'm home I am much more sore. Perhaps I'm not walking as much without the long hallways and more comfortable seating or maybe the pain Meds at home aren't as good. How are you doing on liquids. I'm struggling quite a bit. Lots of spasms but I just keep sipping. I'm not hungry at all but I haven't felt full necessarily either. Do you?

I was sleeved Monday. I did well with the walking at the hospital. I'm home now, today has been real sore. The main incision burns and hurts more than the others. I feel generally tired. I have slowly sipped Water all day. Still don't think I've gotten enough in, never felt full and not specifically hungry. I also have a headache. Hope tomorrow is better.

I got sleeved on Monday, too. A little bit sore on one side - it feels like a pulled muscled. I have menstrual cramps worse than this on a monthly basis, so this is no biggie. I have walked around the block several times. Gas pain is minimal, Fluid intake is very good. Probably not 64 oz, but their goal for me is 20-30 oz, and I know I've had more than that.

I haven't been hungry, but did have some minor head-hunger here and there. It was very manageable. The only bad things are some occasional nausea and sensitivity to certain smells. I can't stand our hand soap anymore! lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
