CALLING ALL JULY 2016 SLEEVERS

[ChaCha77 74]

My surgery is July 26th. I am 2 days into my liquid diet. I have been so excited, but I am now starting to freak out. I'm a nervous person anyway, but now I am asking myself all of the questions and what ifs. I am terrified of the actual surgery and even more scared of making all the right decisions after. Any other worry warts out there and what are you doing?

We are sleeve sisters! Mine is July 26th also. I meet with my surgeon tomorrow to get preop diet, etc. The closer it gets, the more nervous I get! I'm in the same boat as you. On top of it, I've put all these things I want to get done b4 the surgery on my plate (have windows and carpets washed, house clean, laundry done, etc.) I know realistically what gets done gets done and what doesnt is no big deal. The fear of the unkown is what we have right now and there's nothing we can do about it till we are going through it. (Except ask lots of questions, watch youtube vids of other people's experiences and read) We will be fine, and we will take it one hour/day at a time. Everyone who's had it done has said its the best thing they've ever done for themselves.

Hey sleeve sister!!! You are so lucky you haven't had to start the diet already. I am really struggling. The food is terrible and I am hungry all the time. I have completely forgot about all of the things I should do before I have it, thanks for reminding me. I think it will help me rather than stress me out, you know, keep my mind busy. Good luck today (I hope your diet is better than mine) and we need to keep in touch throughout.

Leaving for the hospital in 30 minutes. So nervous I'm shaking but anxious to be on the other side. Best of luck to those getting sleeves today.

Leaving for the hospital in about 2 hours. Nervous....very nervous. I've been up all night second guessing this decision. Wish I could sleep. That would help this night go by so much faster!

Oh my goodness. I got nervous just reading your post. Please keep us informed of how it went.

I am 5 days post op, I am unable to get in my fluids. I need advise on what others are doing to get in their Protein and fluids

When you say that, do you mean like swallowing or is it like making your stomach spasm? What's going on exactly? I had issues at first as well .

Hello all! Just had my sleeve yesterday. All went mostly well! I haven't been hungry since waking up so that's a relief! I do have terrible diarrhea (tmi) but at least I'm not on the other end of things. Awaiting my discharge as we speak!!!!!

Greetings from my hospital room! I am happy to announce that I'm sleeve, rested, and ice chips are my new best friend;). This forum has been a treasure chest of information! The pain when I first woke up was difficult, and by difficult I mean WOW...But the pain meds are marvelous! Walk the first chance you get; pee as soon as you can. Burp, burp, burp!

My surgery is the 27th and I just completed the second day of preop diet too. I lost 3 pounds the first day from being in the bathroom all day. I had my preop appt today and Doctor said to wait a couple more days and it should get better. Im just hoping it isn't all the lactose. I also have a pretty constant headache going, probably from being dehydrated from being in the bathroom so much. The doctor and nurse both said it starts to get easier on day 3-4.

I'm the 27th too! Nerves are at an all time high. Just trying to keep my eye on the prize

Are you there God? It's me, Gigi.
