I am in Texas and other than my parents, no one knows about my surgery. They only know I have a hernia to repair. Would love some folks to chat with along this new journey!

Wow, we are all so close to the same date. It will be so encouraging to help each other.

Well all went well 12/2! I am three days out and feeling great. Word to those coming up....ask for pain meds as soon as you can and walk to get the gas out. Its the worst. Pop a gas x strip immediately. Best wishes!!!

Oh and i am in Houston!

Meagtheleo: Are you o.k. did something go wrong with your surgery? I am in Jacksonville, FL

Meattheleo: I am sorry, i read your email wrong. I thought it said hospital instead of Houston. My eyes are next on the surgery list. Have a good evening.

Oh and i am in Houston!

Where in Houston? I'm NW, Willowbrook/Champions area.

I'm Dec 17th on 2 week liquid diet and I'm missing food !

Whereabouts in TX are you? I'm in Houston and only a few people other than mom & hubby knew I had the surgery.

Hi I just had my sleeve on 12/2 and feel horrible. Does it get any better

I just had my sleeve on 12/2 and I feel pretty ruff.

Just got sleeved on December 2, 2014. Is anyone else having a hard time getting down the liquid medicine that is given for pain? I'm also still very sore is this normal?

I'm glad you're feeling great. I feel miserable I'm actually second guessing myself right now! I'm in Houston as well. What type of things are you eating right now? If you don't mind me asking what Dr did you go through

I used Dr. Hollis. He is fantastic. I haven't hit my 64 oz liquids yet but I am close. I keep a tervis tumbler of crystal light in hand at all times and sip sip every ten minutes. For breakfast I made my protein shake with 6 oz of water and took 30 minutes to get it all down. Took my kids to lunch and had the broth from wonton soup. I also drank a cup go hot tea this afternoon. Today I was out and about for about three hours and that wore me out. There is a few FB groups that are great. December Sleevers and soldiers of the gastric sleeve army.

Hello I'm a newbie. North of Dallas surgery date set for Jan 23. Would love to keep in touch. Have questions if someone can answer? How do you post on the timeline? How do you edit you name and info on profile still learning ropes to the BP... Thanks

I am on day 11 pre-op diet, liquids only. I went to the hospital today for my pre-op, my surgery is on the 10th one day and one wake-up. My question is, has anyone gained weight on the liquid? I gained six lbs. and i have not cheated once. the only thing that i can think of is the broth, it is sooooo full of sodium. I was so depressed i almost call off my surgery. But, it has taken me 4 months to get here. I just don't understand. My heart was broken. Someone please tell me this is going to work for me. Am i going to gain weight on this sleeve surgery?

I had my surgery on Dec 3rd. So today is day 2 post op. Having mixed feelings to be honest. Spent all day reading and watching clips to calm my self down.

What happened?!? How are u doing now? I understand it's normal to have a moment of - oh god what did I do ... But I've heard it passes.

My surgery is tomorrow. Hope you are feeling better now
