May 1st is my surgery date. This all happened very quickly for me. I started researching the sleeve about 3 months ago and now its a reality. I finally got my husband on board and the time off from work so I paid my deposit today. Even though I have researched endlessly and done a tone of planning as soon as I hit send on the deposit I got extremely nervous. Its a good thing I don't have too long to wait because my nerves couldn't handle it!

Well I have not really been nauseous thank goodness for that. The pain is getting better today I took total of 3 pain pills early morning than about early evening than right before bed so I can try to sleep better at night. I have been moving gas I even had my first BM today which hurt to push. My incisions are doing well but the one close to my belly button is sore every time I move it burns or just hurts. Other than that so far so good. My mind is playing tricks on me I do want to eat but when I think I need to eat I drink more. The liquid diet is holding up pretty well getting my fluids in which is great. I am glad to hear so far everyone is holding up well.

I had my first post op "movement" today, as well. No pushing required. It was loose. Had a few, actually. I took a half bottle of magnesium citrate to clean things out before surgery so there wouldn't be much left in there. I learned that from the struggle after my c section. Never want a repeat of that. LOL.

It is!! I'm getting anxious now!! Lol

Thank you! I am okay. Got 50g of protein and 80 oz clear fluid today. I walked a little too much today and have to take my pills tonight but other than that I've been recovering pretty well!

Thank you! That's good to hear! I am sore under the left incision that they used to remove as well. Have you started burping?? I swear it's constant [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Hi!! I'm glad you guys are doing so well. Things are going pretty good for me too. No more pain pills for me here except maybe a Tylenol. My post op appt is tomorrow so hoping I graduate and can add protein drinks, yogurt and creamy soups. I'm getting so tired of clear liquids. The pain on my left side has finally diminished so I slept on it last night for the first time. Never had any nausea but probably because I had scheduled zophran in the hospital whether I needed it or not. I also didn't realize my chest would gurgle every time it tries to get fluid down. That's getting a little better though! Keep up the good work and keep in touch!!

I was sleeved May 1st, and have been on protein shakes since I came home, which was Wednesday, May 3.

My doc does things different. All I could have was broth, water, sugar free jello and watered down juice so I was getting a little sugar. I can't wait for some protein!! I'm on full liquids for two weeks starting on Monday! Ready for some more options!
