It is getting so real now, 1 week from today to get sleeved. All I can think about is how is it going to feel, will I stay hydrated, gas pain, etc. My whole relationship with food, will I miss the cravings and then satisfying them, will I miss choosing my food for a while. Oh well time will tell, good luck to all of us

Not being able to have solid foods for the first 20 days sucks. Watching TV commercials is brutal. I don't think I realized how many food advertisements there were until I couldn't have it hahaha.... The gas pains were bad the first 2 days. No problem after that. Honestly, the gas was probably the worst part. Today is day 6 for me and I almost feel back to normal. No problems drinking adequate amount of fluids and water. I just keep thinking about pizza haha.

BUT, I got on the scales this morning and I'm already down 20 pounds in just a little over 2 weeks. So it's all worth it. It's awesome fitting into old clothes I haven't worn in years. Good luck to you.

For me, I had no nausea and minimal pain. It wasn't so bad doing the stages of eating, it went by pretty fast. Take measurements if you haven't already so when you hit those stalls you can see inches coming off when the scale doesn't move. Don't get frustrated when you can't drink much at first, drink as much as you can it DOES get better.

Good luck!
