I just got my surgery date. February 12th. It hadn’t felt real till now that it’s actually happening. I know it might sound weird but now the nerves are kicking in.

I’m about to try some in a bit so I’m hoping it gets better!

Same! My sleeve will not tolerate it I’m in so much pain when I do eat it and I hate yogurt so I’m trying to find something else that could work..

Yes it sucks though! I’m trying sugar free pudding in a bit so I’m hoping I can have that! Can’t wait for 6 weeks

Greetings from the PACU, where I've been for the last ten hours. Apparently I may be here overnight; I'm not sure why, but I haven't been transferred to a room. As long as I'm lying down or standing up, everything is copacetic. I've been walking around the unit a few times, crunched some ice chips... doing okay.

So gilahava are you doing any better this morning? Feel like updating us any? I for one am all ears.

Team PACU for the win! I slept off and on for a few hours (did you know NBC was reairing the men's free skate at 4 AM?). I've started my drinking test, so I'm out of the hospital bed and in the recliner.

This is no time for pride or propriety: I am gassy. That's the majority of the issue right now - gas. Pain isn't awful, actually fairly manageable, but good heavens I have to fart.

My surgery was 2/12 also. It’s painful when it’s too big of a gulp so I will take smaller sips. I forget sometimes. And my stomach is constantly growing. Even at night. Crazy

My stomach makes some weird noises now after every sip of liquid! It’s weird! I think it’s normal though..my mom had the RNY 10 years ago and her stomach still makes noise constantly.

It’s so hard not being able to eat junk but I know that’s what got me to where I was so I’m trying to stay strong! I’m 4 days post op and I’m on full liquids, I enjoy sugar free Jello but my sleeve does not like sugar free apple sauce

Hang in there !

Was very sick all day yesterday. Feelings lots better today. Still have a lot of gas. Trying to do better on fluids today.

Same! It's somewhat painful sometimes with every sip, do you feel that?

I have the same! It sucks but what helps is instead of breathing in with every sip I breathe out.

Tomorrow is the big day...feeling happy but nervous. This is the second bariatric procedure I've had. Ten years ago, I had a lap band procedure, but the band was removed in an emergency surgery about one year ago. Turns out, 1/3 of my stomach slipped through my band. Very painful. I was really worried about putting the weight back on, and I had gained 20 pounds since the removal of the band. I was supposed to have the surgery on January 3, but it had to be postponed. So, Happy Valentine's Day to me!

Had my surgery on 2/14. Along with the sleeve, Wednesday's surgery included fixing my hiatal hernia and moving my old lapband port. I spent two days/nights in the hospital and came home yesterday. I'm glad to be home, where I can get some rest. I'm very bloated-I've only been able to burp, not pass gas. I'm hurting but taking pain meds. I'm on the clear liquid phase right now, but my doctor says I can begin full liquids tomorrow. I'm just trying to make sure I can get in all the water I need. The nutritionists who work with my surgeon gave out tiny 1oz cups to regulate the volume of water swallowed. My doctor wants me to drink 60 oz of water per day. It's 6:30, and I've only managed to get 30 in so far. I do worry about getting enough protein and water everyday.

I have having some regrets, but I know they will pass once I heal properly and am used to injesting tiny amounts of everything.

Congratulations! I too was sleeved on Valentine’s Day as a symbol of love to myself. I managed to get all my protein in yesterday but only 40 oz of water. No BM yet some gas. Are you taking enoxoparin shots and take urosidil and Prilosec ?

I have the same! It sucks but what helps is instead of breathing in with every sip I breathe out.

Wow I'll try that thank you!

2-28-18!!!
