Thank you! The surgery went well.

Yup, that's one of the things I'm worried about. It's great that you're able to control it!

Thank you! What made it hard for me is that my daughter, who lives with us, is such a good cook & that my family can eat solid food in my presents! But im determine to not let that deter me from doing whats right!
Im sure you'll do much better than me!

Just arrived at the hospital. I'm tired, hungry, thirsty and two hours away from surgery.

Best wishes!

Here's success from my 8/21/17 sleeved date: I'm 23lbs lighter now! Last night we went to a birthday party and I actually had to change because my shirt was too big! I can comfortably wear a pair of my old jeans.

How are the sleevers doing that have been ok'd to move onto soft/puree foods? i having a hard time with it as most of the foods that my doctor gave me i dont eat, like fish im allergic too and some of the other stuff like chicken salad is just blah im still just eating my high protein low sugar yogurts, egg beaters, sugar free jello, sugar free pops and water ice and low fat string cheese and getting my protein i drink my unjury chicken protein broth. i have cravings and my stomach does tell me when im full which is pretty quick and some soft foods i cannot eat because it hurts me. the protein shakes i cannot stomach still so i dont even bother. I'm also still stuck at 218 and have been for almost 2 weeks, still having good and bad days.

tips? recipes?

Compared to this morning after I woke up from surgery, I'm feeling much better.

The pain has subsided for the most part and I have thrown up thrice. But never let it be said that I don't have character. I sung the first verse of the Marseillaise while being wheeled in to the OR.

I just under went my gastric sleeve on Aug.22

How are you doing? I had mine on Monday, got home today. I've had virtually no pain and no trouble at all getting liquids down, although I'm trying to take that slowly. Have some minor gas, not too bad yet. Curious to see how I'll sleep tonight.

I am scheduled for gastric sleeve surgery on Monday, 8/28. I'm nervous - not about the surgery itself, but about what happens after. I'm also having these irrational (?) fears that the surgery work for me - that I'll be ravenously hungry, that my metabolism won't let me lose weight. But, another part of me is optimistic that I'll lose weight and keep it off. Yikes! I'm nervous.

I was sleeved today aug 29 and I was so nervous but so far I feel great little pain, great doctors and nurses. Only pain is the drain everything else is good!!! Very thankful!!!! I hope yours went great!

Me too! How are you feeling?

I've already taken two walks around the surgical unit.

I'm still a sore at the biggest incision site but other than that I feel fine. I think after that soreness subsides everything will be great. How are you feeling?
