Hello everyone any sleepers going in tomorrow? I'm going to Umass hospital with dr John Kelly in Worcester MA.

Congrats! One year ago,the day before Thanksgiving I was sleeved!! No Thanksgiving and no "normal " Christmas eating but was the best thing I EVER did for myself.! You're gonna do great!! The first few months are not fun, but after that, life will be Awesome!!

I can't wait to just get through my first two weeks

When can I start mixing crystal light powder in my water for a better taste

@@Meganfpc probably now you can drink crystal light. keep moving, it will get better.

@@emhegs78 how are you doing?

welcome little sisters!

@@jane13 It just hurts when my fluids hit my stomach then my tummy start making grugling noises

@@emhegs78 I'm trying to hang in there these two in a half days has been exhausting for me

@@Meganfpc - my stomach has quieted a bit but at times it is loud. I am almost 7 months post. Keep hydrated. keep moving...this will seem like a dream in a couple of weeks. I was lucky. I really had no post-op issues.

once you can eat pureed food you will feel different.

@"jane13" I'm feeling so much better today! I'm on full liquids and today I tolerated most of what I ate without any spasms or heartburn. The Prilosec definitely took a couple days to kick in I think. I was able to get a lot more fluids in today and go for a walk. Starting to feel better. Lots of head hunger tho lol

Wow a long journey ahead

@@emhegs78 - stay on track like you have been. great job! it will get easier.

Congratulations on your new life. My go to drink was vitamin water zero rise orange (it's a clear liquid). 3.5 months out it still is. Liquid Tylenol worked the best for my pain for the first week. Also I slept and rested a LOT that first week, so other than your short walks please get all the rest that you need and try to take it easy. The first two weeks are hard but this too shall pass. That being said if your pain is out of the ordinary for major abdominal surgery then you should definitely call your doctors office to check in with them. Congratulations again on making a great decision to start a new healthy life!

Thank you

I kinda been living off the sugar free Popsicles

When can I have apple sauce guys?

Hope you're doing well! I had my procedure Thursday, 11/19/15...so we're in the same ballpark of recovery!

Again, hope everything is moving along smooth for you! =)

Yeah I feel better today still bothers me when I'm drinking my shakes are water

Try to walk as much as you can. It helps with the gas.
