August 20th Sleevers chime in here

I have surgery at 8 a.m. Thursday. Who else? I'd love to know so I can pray for you all as I'm praying my way thru mine.

Mine is tomorrow at 9! Good luck to you and I'll pray for ya!

I also was sleeved on the 20th. Feel pretty good. Still on clears. Have dr appt tomorrow. How is everyone else doing? Can we have coffee??? That's all I miss desperately. I NEED COFFEE!!!!

I was sleeved on the 20th. Still on liquids until my follow up on the 2nd. I'm really missing food. I think I'm grieving foods and it's not easy. I am having trouble getting my fluids in but no trouble with protein. I'm down 10 pounds

I had 3 oz of decafe coffee with a scoop of protein in it this morning. Not perfect but still pretty good.

How is everyone else doing? I'm super tired still. It hit me today I may not just bounce back as quick as I have from other surgeries. I knew it was a major surgery. I researched and read everything. I was still not prepared for the level of exhaustion I feel.

Just take one day at a time. It will get better each day. Your body is telling you it needs more rest so just keep doing what you are doing.

Mine was 8/21 and my pain is finally subsiding a bit

Thanks. In my head I know this. I'm just not used to sitting still. It's the craziest thing. I have been out of my house other than to walk in my yard since I came home from surgery. I'm going to try to go to church tomorrow and see how I do. Thankfully my life is such that I don't actually have to be anywhere but where I am. I cannot imagine trying to go back to an office or the like.

My pain is better every day. To the point that it doesn't bother me unless I turn too fast etc. I keep reminding myself it will be better tomorrow and it is.

How is everyone doing with water intake? I still experience pain when I drink and get fill/bloated really fast. How much does an average pouch hold and for how many hours?
