Hi everyone......just checking in. My surgery on Monday went very well. The surgeon said my liver had shrunk to a wonderful level and that I was in surgery for less than one hour. I slept most the day and remarkably, most of the first night sleepingl. I used the pain pump more for sleep than for pain and didn't use it during the day except for twice! Now that I am off of the IV fluids, liquid is a must so I'm sip, sipping away. So far so good. They wanted me up and walking right away so I made sure I hoofed it around the halls as much as possible. It really does help with releasing the gas that gets trapped in the abdominal cavity from the surgery. Tomorrow I'm supposed to start on pureed Proteins and I'm looking forward to that about as much as I looked forward to the preop diet but I will persevere! I hope everyone who had surgery early this week is doing great. I'm keeping all of you in my prayers and thoughts!

Thank you for sharing! I am getting sleeved on 9/29 and it is very encouraging to hear peoples experience who went through the surgery! Congrats and a speedy recovery!
