I was finally sleeved on Friday and I am feeling great. I have been getting all of my protein and most of my fluids. Thank god for premier protein shakes I tell ya! Anyways I am making my first post op meal of puréed chicken breast soup with no noodles of course. I hope it taste as good as it smells!

My surgery is in the morning what was your first 24 hours like for example you woke up from surgery open your eyes and what did you feel know what I mean like who prepares me for that some people say I'm going to feel like I'm dying did you feel like you're going to die funny not funny but I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from I guess I just want to know what to expect the first few hours right after surgery anything would help thanks I'm a nervous wreck right now

I also had surgery on the 12/11 and was very nervous too. To be honest when I woke up I was still out of it. I would see and hear the nurses but wasn't able to speak. My throat was really sore from the breathing tube. The worst part for me, was that I was really nauseous due to the anesthesia. I would try to vomit and nothing would come up but the anesthesia doesn't sit well with me, so this might not happen to you. I was starting to feel a better that same evening but still very sore. And gas pains are real bad, so make sure to walk and walk as soon as you can even if it's at a turtle pace Good luck to you!

Congratulations on your journey! My "surgiversary" is December 11. What a difference a year makes. The struggle is real but it is totally worth it. Just take advantage of all the information and advice on this site and keep the faith. I had my first post surgery appointment with my primary doctor today and ALL of my "numbers" are fabulous. I look better, but more importantly I FEEL better!!

Best wishes!!

I woke up screaming that I was having a heart attack Lmao...gas....

I was sleeved on Monday 12/14 and doing great too! If the soup tastes good please share the recipe.... the cream of chicken I just made was not so great. Canned Soups made me sick before because of the MSG so I don't want to try them.
