Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to check in to see how everyone is doing? And to see what you have done so far

-Are you excited?

-Have you packed your hospital bag yet?

-Is any family going w you? If so how are they feeling?

-Have your nerves kicked in?

-Have you done all your shopping and cleaned your houses??

-What time is your surgery??!

-Have you done any spa treatments?

Well I'll go first! So I am doing pretty okay this morning I'm hungry but I'll get through it. I am very excited, not nervous at all! I have not packed yet but will be doing that toning, because I know I probably won't be sleeping. I did do all of my shopping and finished the last bit yesterday. I'm going to clean my house from top to bottom today to keep myself busy! Also I have a facial and massage booked this morning just to relax myself (did my mani/pedi over the weekend). I do have family going w me but they are not really in support of this so I don't really know how they feel... I am the first surgery in the morning so I have to be at the hospital at 6:30a !

I hope everyone has a safe surgery and a quick recovery! Please feel free to keep us updated on this post so we can help each other these next few days!

Talk to you all soon!

Earlier I felt like I was hit by a Mack truck! But now I'm okay, I had a butterfinger protein shake that was to die for! And lots of water, still not hungry and no metal taste in my mouth so this tells me that tomorrow will just be better !

Please share that recipe (I have one more day on CL but I will be ready on Monday)! I got my drain out today and was discharged early afternoon. But I'm finding it harder to get comfortable at home. Coming home feels like I lost my safety net. I don't have a call light if I feel nauseated or pain. Not getting the IV fluids so really needing to force myself to drink. Small sips still hurt occasionally. How much liquid on average is everyone up to right now?

I am so glad I did not get a drain! It does feel like that coming home at first but I promise you'll adjust I have been more comfortable here than in the hospital. I haven't really been counting but I think I have had one full 16oz Poland Spring bottle today a few sips of broth, my amazing Protein shake and now my SF Italian ice !

I've had about 10 oz of water and 2 partial shakes. The only pain I still have is occasional stomach cramping from drinking water.

Today I had:

17 oz Water

1/2 a bottle of a Premier shake

1/2 can of broth

The gas pains have come and gone through out the day, but they weren't bad enough for me to take anything for it.

Ooh and I got 2871 steps on my fitbit.

Congrats to everyone sticking to the Pre-op and Post-op plans.

Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Your so welcome @@CrissyBat ! There are a bunch of great recipes for all stages on Pintrest! I have become obsessed!!!!

Today is a hard day for me since it's Easter and I don't have the mindset to be around food yet. I just want to stay home and watch movies.

@@CrissyBat that's exactly what I'm doing today! Sitting at home catching up on my Netflix! Don't feel too bad we just have to sit this one out, next holiday we'll be so focused food will not even affect us ????

@"x0CheekzVSG" Thank you for the different view of the situation. You are so right. I can enjoy myself next when I'm healthier and happier. Thanks again, you really helped with the tears.

@@CrissyBat you are so welcome ! I am so glad I could help you today!

Hi April I peeps, ( sorry to mention peeps on Easter Sunday, because it isn't difficult enough..)

So today I have sucked on, then spit out., homemade Mac and cheese shells and maple glazed ham, that I made for the fam. Not my proudest moments, but mildly satisfying. The family left the dishes for me to do - Ive already discussed that last part with husband and teen daughters...

I have burped down two Mexican chocolate shakes (chocolate Pure Protein, cinnamon and a little extra unsweetened cocoa, ole') a chobani yogurt and not enough Water but the night is young. I may still rinse my mouth with the hummus, lobster bisque or cream of mushroom Soup I've got squirreled away for taste/texture emergencies.

Not the cheeriest sleever, but we can do anything for a few weeks, right?

@Lauradolce when were you sleeved?

I can't wait for tomorrow so I can start having yogurt and shakes. I've been a bit light headed this evening so I'm thinking about opening a bottle of Isopure since it is a clear liquid to get a little Protein in. I manged 24 oz of Water today and a quarter cup of Jello. It was a lovely night cooler and breezy evening so I walked around the block. I should've worn my pedometer.

My sister and her husband came over and cooked ham, au gratin potatoes and green Beans for Easter dinner. Everything looked and smelled so good. I sat with everyone and talked as I don't want to isolate myself. I sipped my water and ate my jello.

I really haven't had much pain, except for the tenderness of the incision sites and very little nausea today. Still some pain when sipping water, but that seems to be improving.

I hope everyone had a great Easter!
