We are here in the waiting area at hospital. Hubby is feeling a little nervous for me, I think I'm still feeling ok, confident that my surgeon knows his stuff.

Taoz---You got this. I'm proud of you and I'm excited for you. Your new life is waiting. Saying prayers for you now.

So excited for you Taoz! You got this! I will be in your shoes tomorrow... eeek!

I'm doing ok folks. Has some pain and some nausea but they've kept me on various medications for it. I hated being woken up every 90 mins or so for them to change stuff on my drip or give other medication - the short sleeps reminded me of having a newborn again!

I threw up once this morning after they had me swallow some medication, but it wasn't too bad. The leg Massage/squeeze things to help prevent blood clots were really weird but thankfully didn't stop me sleeping. I was so tired post op I was probably only awake and hour total between op finishing around 1pm and late night time.

Oh Goody Goody, That is an excellent,report. Keep on healing and getting stronger. You and your hubs make a beaut couple. Smiles now- you are doing fine!???

Taoz, I’m glad everything’s going well for you so far. How long do you expect to be there? Have you been drinking and walking? My surgery begins tomorrow afternoon at 2:50 pm which seems late to me. They’re saying I should be ready to go home at 1pm the next day. I hope they’re right but it all seems so fast. Tonight I’m really not nervous. I’m overtired from getting everything ready for post op. I’m sure I’ll feel different tomorrow! Hang in there Taoz. You got this!

I'm doing ok folks.

Good to hear! Mine is on the 14th so I’m right behind you!

Mine is on the 16th and tomorrow I will start my two week pre op, I hope it goes by fast. Good luck and hugs to all of us!

I’m on the 14th, so here we go! The “Oreos” diet is harder than I thought it would be.

Ugh! Stupid spellcheck! The PreOp diet! [emoji23]

I had my pre op appointment today! 2 week liver shrinking diet will begin on Sunday! May 21st is the D-Day! I am excited and anxious all at the same time! I can't believe how close I am.

I’m on the 16th started my liquid diet but nearly lost it so I just started crunching on a bag of shredded lettuce (that’s mostly water isn’t it?)

My surgeon has a minimum of 3 nights stay just IV fluids yesterday, and the occasional sip of water this morning when taking small tablets. Starting don't bariatric fluids at lunchtime, but has to bring my own, as they only have optifast which gives me headaches. I wish I could go home sooner but at least the IV will keep me hydrated.

Mine surgery is on May 31st!! Excited and nervous!

My surgery is scheduled for May 22, 2018.

I am scheduled for gastric sleeve surgery not lap band.

Hi All!

I was sleeved today, about 6 hours ago. I’m feeling pretty great, I don’t feel like an elephant is sitting on me, or a ton of gas pain. I just sipped Water for the first time and it didn’t hurt at all!
