My surgery is coming up in 3 days... I can only have yogurt and Water today until surgery. I'm not sure if I'm hungry or if I just miss chewing

I hear you, 1Body2Live! Mine is on Monday, and I am only allowed liquids. I miss chewing quite a bit! How are you doing emotionally? Anxious, excited, numb, all of the above?!

I don't know what to feel about it yet. I'm still in school and have this research paper I need to finish within 3 hours so I'm more focused on that. I've been drinking so much Water I'm tempted to bring my desk in the bathroom hahaha

I had my surgery on 7/21 in Scottsdale, AZ. Was nervous about the outcome. I made myself get up and walk about an hour and a half after leaving recovery. I can honestly say that I have had no paid. Only mild discomfort around the belly. No nausea or vomiting. I am drinking my fluids and Protein Shakes and enjoying my SF Popsicles. Today is day 4 after my surgery and I am feeling really good. I'm also feeling very fortunate to be doing so well. BTW I am 60 yrs old and surgery weight was 231

I am July 27th, too--that's a lot of us!

I'm so excited and nervous. Some days I feel invincible; some days I feel worried about doing everything right after the surgery (it seems like a lot to keep track of, and the stakes are high). But I'm happy I'm doing it. Anyone else on an emotional roller im nervous and i wanna throw up #anxiety

3 days to go for me and I am nervous, scared but,above all, excited to start my NEW life.

The nurse in my pre-op class said that a lot of people consider their surgery date another birthday. After all, it is the beginning of our new lives. Why not Celebrate this date and our original birthdays? I think it's brilliant!

I'm nervous, too Frank85! But we're all going to be fine. Everyone with surgeries next week, remember to check in and give an update, if you can!

It's done!! My surgery was Wednesday the 22nd. The doctor said my sleeve came out perfect. The only complaint I have was the freaking pain from the gas they fill you with!! Uhggg... it was awful! However I left the surgery center about 3 hours after my sugery. The more I walked the better it got. Now I am 3 days out and the pain is still in my shoulder and collar bone but I am MUCH better than that first day!!

That being said it was SOOOOO worth it!! I am super excited to start my new life!!! Yay!!

For all of you about to get your sleeve- it is SO worth it. A little pain and discomfort in exchange for a lifetime of health!

I do also want to mention that I never even took any of the pain meds they sent me home with. I was afraid they would make me groggy and I felt I could deal with the pain better without them. So, if you are planning on taking the pain meds- it should be a piece of cake for you!!
