How did it go.

Posting for the first time...I got sleeved on 11/14 and I am down close to 20 pounds. So far so good with pain. I have a hard time sleeping at times, but I manage. I am trying to lay off the Oxy until I really need it. Coughing and sneezing cause alot of pain, but that's expected.

What have you guys been eating thus far? I am on broth and protein shakes so far.

Currently staying with my mom in fort myers but I live in Brandon. I was able to get down 2 bottles of water and started a protein shake as well. I'm constantly worried about my incisions and signs of a leak. My anxiety is kicking in!

Yes me too. Did Dr Bass do your surgery? You were probally in the same hospital as me! I have a temp of 99 and feel weird when I eat but I am able to drink two bottles too, and had 2 oz of yogurt today!! Woohoo lol. Take a deep breath! You will do fine.

I have a question, I am a hypochondriac at times and am freaking out about how much liquid I am getting in which is 2 bottles or propel today and a premier protein shake. Also I keep freaking out about bloodclots, leaks, and infected incisions. I feel like I'm driving my self crazy. I was sleeved 11/15/17

Same here! Surgery was on the 16th and I’m back at work today (Sun to Thur work week). I am mostly worried about infected incisions. My liquid intake is awful, pre-surgery I was gulping down water because I’m not a big coffee/tea/Juice etc drinker. I feel as if I’m going to collapse from dehydration

Good November 20thers. Doing this together.

Sleeved on Nov. 1.

Recovery room was rough and I threw up a couple times. After that I was wheeled to a room and slept for several more hours. All total I slept 12 hours post op. People kept talking to me but I was so out of it. I don't remember my husband kissing me and going home for the night.

I finally woke up at 9pm and drank some chicken broth and walked 2 miles in laps around my ward. Sipped water. Then I konked back out.

I was up every 45 minutes going pee all night long.

Woke up the next day (today) and felt great. Walked over 4 miles throughout the day waiting for hubby to pick me up at 5p. The staff was calling me marathoner. I inspired other patients to get up and walk with me.

I had a small cup of yogurt and some tomatoes soup and a premier chocolate shake throughout the day.

Good luck to all three other November sleevers.

Your almost 2 weeks in. How are you feeling? I go in tomorrowm. So excited for life, post-op, not so much.

I'm almost three weeks out and feeling great for the most part. I was cleared for mushies a week ago and have a lot more energy since then. I can walk a couple miles without getting so winded and feeling like I was going to pass out. I eat one or two small meals a day and then have one or two shakes plus my water, protein water, popcicles, etc. I have not lost a single pound since I started on mushies. My calories are around 600-800 calories a day. I'm thinking of going back to only liquids. I don't like being in a stall so soon.

How are all my other November sleevers doing? I hope everyone is feeling good and energetic.

OMG! You are my work twin!...Before my surgery (happened on 11/14), I begged the doctor to let me go back to work on Monday. I was so upset when I saw the FMLA paperwork that said Wednesday 22nd. HOWEVER, I’ve been home for 1 day from the hospital. I stayed an extra night because I wasn’t doing well with liquids and had a second GI done. It has almost killed me to not check my work emails but I know once I do, I’m going to sent down an stressful, emotional spiral. I’m trying really hard to put me first and am actually thinking about extending my leave until next Monday after the holiday. I totally understand you when you say everyone and everything first before you and hey look where that got us! Hopefully you will have inspired me to do the right thing for me! Thanks for posting

No I had my surgery in Brandon hospital with Dr Chavda. I'm going to try yogurt and pudding today! I'm glad you're doing well.

What do you do for work, if you don't mind me asking. I'm planning on returning to work 11 days post op and I'm very worried about it. I'm an ER nurse.

I’m actually on the Corporate side of a hospital. I’m hidden away in my office. Today I just went out to take a walk around for the gas. I can’t think that the nurses would be able to return back as quickly as I did.

Let me know how it goes! I have surgery on 12/11 and start nursing school 1/1 and I'm worried about the long days as well. Make sure you do an update please! Good luck on your journey [emoji4]
