Hi all

I'm scheduled for surgery May 1, 2017 and wondering if there are any fellow May Sleevers out there.

Congrats. Was that decaf coffee?

Nope - I love my espresso. I know it's a no - so am going to try to just have once in a while

Things are well. My blood sugars have been in the normal range for the past 3 days. That is super exciting for me.

I just started reducing my caffeine today. I bought some coffee that is supposed to have half the normal levels. I am trying to step down so I can avoid the bad headaches. I am going to switch to full decaf in a couple days.

This isn't easy for me because I love bold full flavored coffee. I can do this though. I know as soon as I am allowed I will drink the good stuff again.

I was sleeved on Thursday, 5/4. I came home the next day. I was nervous going in, but it feels really good on the other side. I woke up from the surgery in some discomfort, but once that was managed, it has been pretty smooth sailing. No hunger, no cravings. I cannot even express how freeing that is.

Good luck May sleevers! Can't wait to read about your progress!

Anyone in May having surgery and have Kik drop your username we have a really great group

I was just telling my husband how amazing it was. I'm getting like 500-600 calories and I'm not hungry. Before surgery I was like "those people are f*cking crazy if they think I can survive 500 calories a day!" They really weren't kidding about hunger disappearing. I am hit now and then with head hunger though. Thought I'd start crying when I could smell my husband cooking chicken parm for the family. I just had to relax and let it sink in that even if I COULD eat it, I probably wouldn't be able to since my tummy doesn't like anything.

So true!!! I was in Costco yesterday and they were baking brownies. They smelled delicious. I could have smelled them all day. But I feel so full all the time - if someone would have handed one to me, I would have dropped it and run! That is a huge change for sure.

Hey all! Just took my first shower with the Hibiclens. It's so real now. Getting up at 4am to be to the hospital by 5am. Surgery 8:15 am. So happy to know so many are going through what I will be going through. It's reassuring and encouraging. Sending love to all ~Angie
