Newbie looking for Oct sleevers!

[lovelytrl 162]

Just received a call from my surgical nurse. We had a great conversation about my Fluid intake and Protein. I need to up my protein and I also need to up my fluid intake. She told me if I have any question to give her a call it's great to have the one on one help.

Steph, that's awesome.

Vsglady, we haven't lost one yet! Pull yourself together. :-)

Seriously, im sure all will go well tomorrow. I will pray for you.

Okay just got my times...I have to be at the hospital tomorrow morning at 7:30 am and surgery should be between 9:30 and 10. I am sooooo nervous. I'm worried that since my BMI is over 50 I will have complications.... I've had many surgeries and have never been this nervous. Amazingly though, the one person in my life that I thought would be the least supportive has stepped up and has been amazing. I hate to ask but I have 2 requests...can I get some words of encouragement and maybe a funny one liner for a smile. Sorry that I'm rambling...nerves.

You will be fine! I was TERRIFED too! I cried the whole time at the hospital before my surgery. My mom's BMI was over 50 when she had her sleeve. She will be two years out in December. Make sure you let us know how you are doing. Not sure if you are the praying type, but I will say one for you anyway.

What do you call cheese that isn't yours?

Nacho cheese!

Yes, just went there =)

You will do great! I was super duper nervous too. But you'll get that feel good medicine and you'll wake up like "it's over"???? no joke!

My one liner is: "burp"

Because after surgery you'll do a lot of that!????

[Vsglady 142]

@Peekboo@stephh hugs you guys! Smiling.

@@Vsglady You're going to do great! Don't be afraid to ask for pain meds. They're definitely worth having in the hospital. They'll make you float like a cloud! Enjoy it

[Kathy812 794]

@@Vsglady good luck tomorrow sweetie! Stay positive & glad you found additional support. We all need it. One thing I did wrong was waited too late to ask for pain meds. If you feel the the pain coming on, like my nurse said...get ahead if it before it gets too bad. PRESS THAT NURSE BUTTON! Will pray for you,

Unfortunately, I have no jokes but looks like you got a few good ones from our sleeve sisters, they made me lol too. I so love our group.

Just checking in, 1 week out and feeling pretty good. Started full liquid diet today and getting energy back. Unfortunately the night I was in the hospital my dog fractured his femur and had surgery the next day. He has kept me on my toes????

[shmeyers 240]

So, at the beginning of next month after all October sleevers are sleeved, are we moving to a post surgery forum? i am one week out today and feeling good. One more week and then on to mush, off of just liquids. Enjoying the journey, feeling good and more energy,

[Peekboo 472]

Frienenn, im sorry about your dog. Hopefully he much better now. Full liquids is definitely better than clear.

[Peekboo 472]

Shmeyers, I guess that could be the next move but we can see what the others say.

[SimplySue 131]

Yay Peek, that's great news- you had a scale victory & a non scale victory!!! Off your BP med-????
