So finally got my date and it is May 11th. Are there any other May sleevers out there who want to join me in this journey?

I also invite the veterans to join and guide us May sleevers through the process.

Darn. I'll also be in Mexico, but in Juarez with Drs. Jose Rodriguez-Villarreal & Elmo Aramburo.

Regardless, best of luck to you!

We should check in with each other now and then to compare notes. I am sure everything will go well. Good luck to you too!

Checked in the hospital this morning at 5:30am surgery is set at 9am! I only had one day for liquids but I did 3 days just to prepare myself. Not too bad. What really sucked was the darn commercial about food lol! I continued to workout during liquid diet and that was weird. Felt a bit week in the legs but nonetheless I did it. Today during my weigh in I was down 10 more pounds. I have exceeded my Dr recommendation prior to surgery. The next adventure will be post op and I can't wait.

In a couple hours a new chapter will begin for me. Again, best of luck to all on this journey and remember all our hard work will pay off!!

Good luck man! I was sleeved yesterday. It was pretty horrible when I woke up but I feel 1000% better today... they switched up my meds and now I'm much more comfortable. You got this sleeve brother! Stay strong!

Started pre-op diet today, surgery is may 9. So nauseous from protein shake. Hoping it's just because it's my first drink and it gets better. Anyone have a problem with nausea with protein shakes?

I!! I tried 10 brands no one was good. I think the best was unflavored protein with V8

I'm doing well thanks! I'm in hospital drinking my isopure and water. I just finished on bottle and I have one more to go. My walking is getting better. I was able to walk for 15mins this morning and it felt great!

I agree! Just getting out of surgery was horrible. I was bloated and so drugged up lol I hate not knowing what's going on with me. I got myself up and staggering down the post op room lol Today is my first day in hospital and what a better feeling. I'm a bit whoozy still but I have more a hold on my mind and body that I feel much better.

I am 25 days out and am really having to be introspective. Last month I ate like **** and gained 5 lbs. I have reeled it back in because my head needs to change to match the physical changes my stomach will go through. After soul searching, decided that there isn't much in the way of food that I will actually miss. Food has been such an adversary in my life that I am RELIEVED to see much of it taken off my plat ( literally).

Now what I will miss?? Guzzling water. I love water. And rum and coke/wine. My partying days with my girls are numbered. Lol

What will you miss or do you miss?

I was sleeved yesterday! I woke up with a lot of discomfort and pain, but I feel so much better today.

I was scared in the days leading up. Today, I feel hopeful, relieved, and excited.

I had my sleeve on Monday and then proceeded to vomit for 2 days, earning myself an extra night in the hospital. I was so afraid I would rip the staple line, but it seems to be ok. I really was not expecting to vomit so violently.

Left hospital yesterday only to return 8 hours later....????can't keep anything down and feels like I have been Punched and stabbed in my stomach. Drugs r the only thing keeping me sane at the moment because they knock me out cold....Lord please be with me.

I'm so sorry you're in pain. I'm praying for you.
