I was so excited, I wanted this! Now the day is tomorrow and I'm extremely nervous. Not sure why, but I'm having lots of weird emotions.

Any advice?

Nikki, I have a feeling mine will be afternoon too. Just gives me more time to prep, wash sheets, Clean pj's extra scrubbing with the soap docs office gave me. Shower at night and first thing in am. Making sure I don't get germs and get sick. Super good luck tomorrow, all will be in God's hands, and he will be right their with our surgeon!

Woah! Surgery completed successfully! I've been knocked out most ofthe day, so I'm just getting to respond.

Here's a few tips, Ive learned thus far:

1. BRING LIP BALM

2. MUST HAVE THE GAS STRIOS

3. DON'T FORGET A ROBE, UNLESS YOU LIKE TO SHOW YOUR BUTT...LOL

4. WALK, WALK, AND THEN WALK SOME MORE. THIS TECHNIQUE PLUS THE GAS STRIPS...PRICELESS.

5. Try to RELAX...although easier said than done. ..

My pain is minimal for now. I've been sipping on hot water, cold water and my beloved ice chips. No hungry craving.

Maybe I'll admit, I was worried for nothing.

Good luck to each of you!

Welcome to the club! I'm glad everything went smoothly.

Going in today. I am scared but not as scared as I thought I would be. Pray for me or send positive thoughts...good luck to my fellow sleeve twins!!! See you on the thinner side of all of this. My biggest annoyance is I got my period too...

Thank you... packed the lip balm and so happy I did... thank you!!! Feel better by the hour now

How's everyone doing with liquids? They have me sipping watered down juice and broth but having lots of pain when I do sip it.

Not really any Advice but my surgery is tomorrow and I feel weird emotions to

Let me know how it went when you feel up to it!! [emoji1374] everything went as planed

So today is post op day 2...had some jello this morning. Feels like a lot of pressure, kinda like the overeating feeling. It's taken me 2 hours to finish a 4oz cup. I go home today and I'm trying to figure some mushy meal plans. That's suppose to start tomorrow.

I'm post op day two as well. Can't do the jello. Just trying to get an ounce of water down every half hour. Not easy. Better than yesterday though. Throat is killing me.

I had Gastric Bypass on June 27 I drink 1 oz of water every 15 min. I've added in 1 oz shots of protein shakes. I had 1 oz of Cream of Wheat and 1 oz Sugar Free Pudding for breakfast . My pain is minimal and mostly caused by gas. I walked 1500 steps this morning and another 1500 before lunch. I am wondering why I am not experiencing the same things everyone else. I'm not complaining. It just worries me that maybe my surgery didn't work. Is their anyone else having little to no issues with fluids going down?

Day 4 post op....very busy day today. My gas pain is minimal, I think it's due to lots of walking around. Even in my house, I walk in circles. I'm tired after a trip out and about and when I come in I sleep for 2 hours. I'm consuming a fair amount of liquid, typically 2 to 4 oz every hour to hour and a half. I'm monitoring my urine color because I'm scared of dehydration. Today a 4oz jello takes 30 to 40 minutes...I still feel that "i over ate feeling" but it goes away once I start moving around. My surgery was Tuesday and today is Saturday, I'm down 10lbs already.
