Hello All, Well my surgery is behind me. It was Wednesday. I stayed in the hospital two days as opposed to one because the pain meds they were giving me were makig me extremely nauseous. That is the worst. No pain though. Once they switched my medicine it helped trememdously. I do feel pretty good since I got home yesterday. Trying to wak as much as I can to get rid of the gas - belly is really bloated. Its only temporary. I must say I feel really good tonite. Just walk walk walk - it is so important. The surgery area itself does not hurt at all. I am really excited because tomorrow I will progress from liquids to puuddings and creamed soups. Not hungry though. Make sure you keep your fluids and follow your drs instructions. It is going to be wonderful. Thanks to you all for your thoughts, prayers comments etc. It helped me through- especially when I first woke up and thought OMG! What have I just done. I will keep updating as much as possible, although everyones experience will be different, it is noce to hear everything. I have had a Headache that will not quit. I am guessing its from no coffee for the last 4 days? We will see I usually only drink 2 cups but thats the only thiing I can think of. I will check in soon.

Congratulations on your new sleeve. I wish you all the best in your new journey towards better health.

Congratulations on your surgery! Keep a positive attitude and treat this surgery as a tool to help you learn to eat better and you will be a success!

I'm doing okay. My surgery is June 30th all I can think about is the surgery. I'm getting pretty nervous. I just can't imagine myself thin because I have always been overweight. On the other hand I keep thinking of all the new and fun things I will be able to do!

Heeyy how are you
