We got this ladies!!!!! It's our big day!!!! :) I am nervous, but not about the surgery, more concerned with how much pain I will be in. BUT, we can and will do this!!!!! The pain is only temporary. I have never been so ready for anything in my life.

Keep in touch, post how things went.

So excited as well! This is the first day of a new life! I am also worried about the pain, but as you say it's only temporary!

Best of luck and success to all of us!

Hi all you 4/20s hope your all doing well this morning day after surgery. Just take it slow and take care. God bless you all! My sister and I are scheduled for 5/23 nervous bout starting preop diet soon.

Mine was also 4/20 I'm doing much better than I thought I would loving life

Lucky you! I also got sleeved the 20tg. It's been rough for me. Tuesday I had horrible nausea. Today I'm finally starting to feel better except for this horrible gas in my left shoulder. It's the worst pain of everything. And I'm struggling to get in my fluids. It gets better day by day, but hoping this shoulder pain goes away soon. So glad you are doing well! I'm ready to feel as great as you!

I'm really sore in my stomach incisions not getting all my fluids but I'm trying hope you feel better soon

Yeah I'm sore too, especially in the bigger incision. We can do this! We will be better in no time! :-)

Hope all of my buddies are doing well. My physician is awesome, I went back to work last Tuesday and have worked 5 shifts with no problems, its amazing to think just 2.5 weeks ago I was 20lbs heavier.

I too was sleeved 4/20

I'm feeling good. I'm still on full liquids and having a hard time getting the 64oz in. Other than that, I'm getting my vitamins in and some walking. I know I'm probably over dueing it but have been cleaning the house too. I'm down about 30lbs since pre op diet and have seen a change in my body. For the first time in over 30 years I am feeling good about myself. Glad everyone else is doing well, we got this!!!

I got to go to pureed foods today!!! I'm still a little bit sore. I'm only getting about 30oz of liquid in so that's my main focus. I have lost 30lbs since starting pre op liquid diet of that 20lbs from surgery. I'm actually very exhausted and hoping that now I can have more options of things to eat that will give me some energy.

I am late to check in on this thread but I too was sleeved on April 20. I am on full liquids and have been able to reach my protein goals since Day 2. I am not yet getting 64 oz of water but am still getting most of my fluids from protein shakes and soup.
