Sleeved September 30, 2014 anyone else?

[Jbramwell 6]

Sleeved on September 30, Pontiac Michigan by Dr. Pleatman. Doing well. Would love to hear from others from the 30th.

I'm a 30th sleever too! I'm in Jersey and am feeling pretty good thankfully as well. I went home on Thursday bc I was given the option to stay one more night and welcomed it. Only major issue I'm having now is sleeping. I'm a stomach and side sleeper, but I haven't been able to comfortably get into that position without pain. But each night is better. How are your Fluid intakes? I'm still trying to get to the 64 oz and all my Protein but I'm getting more in everyday. I'm optimistic all around :-)

Hi. I am doing well too. Not keeping track (better do that) of fluids but feel I am doing pretty well. Taking in as much as I can possibly get in. As long as I pee I think all is good. Keep sending my husband to the store to get different flavors of what I can have. sleeping is hard I took 1/2 dose of pain med last night and that really helped. Been just recovering plan to see what I can do tomorrow. My Mom is coming Tuesday and I haven't told her about the surgery. So glad to hear from you. Please keep in touch.

Forgot to say. --- can't believe I did this!

[LaLoLaughs 74]

Ha I can't either! I've been thinking about it for years and had that moment today "wow, I actually did it!" I just started tracking my intake yesterday. I'm not too concerned this week about fluids and Proteins but I need to start tracking habit. I think I was pumped up on enough of the IV fluids that I lasted until about yesterday. I see I'm peeing less today so I'm trying to up the intake but still only at 30 oz...after lots of sipping. But again, not to concerned about it thus week bc my doctor said it was all about healing up this week. Next week with the full liquids I am hoping it will get easier.

Good luck tomorrow. I didn't tell many people. Just immediate family, my boyfriend and 3 close friends...and not until I was less than a month out. I'm sure you will be surprised by the amount of support you will get-I was.

On the way to the airport to get Mom. Going to lunch. I can order Soup and eat the broth. Down 11lbs according to my calculations. Down 15 if I go by my admission weight. Really would like to add more variety but I have a week before I do that.

Almost forgot my one week anniversary. Still can't believe I did this

Have a great day

[LaLoLaughs 74]

Good luck today! Let's know how it goes.

Today was the first day that I got "hungry" which was only head hunger and boredom with the Clear Liquids. I can't wait until my follow up tomorrow so that the Dr can play moving to full liquids. Funny thing-before the surgery, I was dreading the puree phase; now I cannot wait! Lol

How are you feeling? Thankfully I'm feeling little to no pain and an easing onto my tummy more and more each night which means more sleep for me (yay!).

[LaLoLaughs 74]

And congrats on the loss. I'm down 11 as well according to my personal tracking. Will get the doctor's official assessment tomorrow :-)

7oz at a time . Hang in there it will get better a day at a tine

[LaLoLaughs 74]

Welcome to the club @@ehark Hang in there, like you said, everyday just gets better. Remember, are stomachs are still swollen and healing so 7 oz isn't bad. I can only do 4 oz an hour still, meaning in sipping away most of the day. But going to the doctor's today, we said he was happy with the progress, physically, mentally and emotionally. So keep your head up. The physical healing is only part of the equation.

Hi to all 30th sleevers. Things seem to be going great. Pain is pretty much gone in my incisions. No longer pain in my upper abdomen when I eat. I am really ready for different food. Feeling great in my clothes, my daughter said she can already see a difference in my face, yeah! What is everyone else eating. I am still on Protein Drinks, liquids, oatmeal. Five more days and I get to add food choices.
