How are you feeling so far? Did you have a crazy liquid diet before surgery? How was drinking right after surgery?

I am getting so excited!! I have been waiting a long time and cant wait to start my new sleeved life!!

I can't believe I'm sleeved. I looked into WLS for the first time 4 years ago. Ant then about 2.5 years ago but it never worked out. Both times I was looking to get banded. Even though this time I started research but I saw a really great youtube video about life 2 years after getting sleeved and I decided from that moment that the sleeve was for me.

Right now I feel fine the gas pain it getting better and my tummy is still numb so no pain but I am sleepy. I had to get up once every hour yesterday day until bedtime then it was once every 2 hours around 2am they let my get about 3.5 hours of sleep before getting up to walk again. I'm walking well.

Yay! I'm so happy you are doing well!! What a relief! I'm happy you are feeling okay, and not in too much pain!

How has drinking been? For some reason all of a sudden I'm not too worried about the surgery but the whole drinking after surgery. I'm scared it's gonna burn my poor new tummy... I'm weird but scared lol

Good luck to you, I can't wait to see you shrink! keep us updated

^{My surgery is the 24th. My endoscopy is next week on the 12th. I'm really looking forward to this new phase of my life. I start the preop diet next week. I wonder how many of you have told others besides your spouse that you are having the surgery. I haven't yet told anyone except my best friends that I'm doing this. I don't want to hear any negatives, since this is what I want to do to help me improve my health. I do have to have my gall bladder out because I have gallstones and they will do at the time of my sleeve. I have been telling everyone I'm getting my gall bladder out and that's all. I really enjoy everyone's posts!!}

I'm just over 12 hours post-op. So far, so good. I've had some discomfort but nothing unbearable. They have done a great job keeping me medicated.

I will say that sipping the Water is tough. I want to take bigger gulps but even my little ones kinda hurt. In pretty sure it's all gas because I'll burp after almost every drink. Lol

Been doing my hourly walks and finally about to settle into bed and try to get some sleep.

That's great news! I'm so happy you are doing well!

That's crazy you burp after every sip. I've read that a lot actually.

How long do you walk for every hour?

I'm so happy for you, keep us posted on how you are doing!

Hey! At first I didn't want to tell anyone because I felt like I would be judged, and honestly I have been judged enough for one lifetime. But I told a couple close family members and friends and all I got was love and support. My hubby was a little worried at first. He isn't a fan of surgery, but after I explained how I felt about myself and situation he is 100% on board and wants me to be happy.

After that I felt good about my decision to have surgery and began telling more people.

Whoever I decide to tell can take it or leave it. This is MY LIFE and I want to be around long enough to live it!

I'm happy that I'm getting a second chance at life because being 300 pounds isn't living. I want to do so much and feel like I can't at this size.

Sorry for the ramble!

14 more days till surgery and 4 until I start my non-liquid pre-op diet. It's getting soooo close. I had my pre-op appointments last Friday with the surgeon and coordinator. Today I go visit the licensed vampires to get a baseline of my Iron, Calcium, D3 and some other things so we know if I need additional supplements and to be able to tell in the future if there is any malabsorption.

@@meagain I did not tell many people at all because I did not want to hear the negativity also it's just not everyone business. Most people at my job don't know what kind of surgery I had just that I had surgery.

Last day of Clear Liquids and surgery tomorrow! Found berry propel Water last night and I love it. Gonna be more in the cabinet for next week. Not as bad aftertaste as the sugar free Gatorade etc. and my radberry ice crystal light I love too.
