Hi all! I was sleeved on the 17th and got to go home on the 18th. So far, I'm very sore but feeling much better than I expected! Working on getting my fluids in. My doc wants a minimum of 40oz liquids/day this first week. It's a challenge, for sure. Good luck to everyone!

I had mines the same day my doctor did not tell me how much to drink he told me stay Hydrated and I'm doing my best on it and tomorrow I will be on fluid liquid diet until next week

Hi I am quite nervous. I will be sleeved on April 24th. That's 5 days away. I am starting to get the shakes and my anxiety is really kicking in. I want to do this but the fear of the unknown is taking over my body.

I got mine done Monday morning. The first day sucked mostly because I couldn't have water or even ice chips but I made it to my swallow test and was released last night. My weight went up about eight pounds from retaining fluid but that will be coming out soon. Still trying to get all my liquid and protein in. Sipping is hard when you sleep half the day. Excited for all of you and good luck!

I'm freaking out!!!

You'll be fine, good luck and remember that it's all worth it. I'm 16 days post op. Not going to say it's been easy because it hasn't. But I'm down 19 lbs and getting it is getting easier everyday.

I'm nervous too!

Don't freak out or be nervous just pray about it and leave it all in his hands!!! We got this

Awesome! Best of luck girl. I find out what time I'll be going on on Monday for surgery, Sunday night I am to freaking excited!!! I've worked hard to get here can't wait to reach ONEderland [emoji1380]

I got sleeved on the 13th. My goal is to get off of my CPAP by the end of the year. My BMI was 37 at surgery and if I can get it into the mid twenties and sleep peacefully and wake up rested, it will have been worth it. The monotony of the Liquid Protein diet 7 days post-op is a drag but the weight is coming off and the possibility of life without my CPAP machine is great motivation. Wish me luck and best of luck to everyone here!
