I was sleeved on Tuesday 02/14 and I am so sick feeling all the time. The pain isn't so bad, but the hunger pains and gas is almost unbearable. I can't tell sometimes if it is hunger pains or gas and everything makes me sick. I started on my pureed food diet today but it doesn't seem to fill me up. Not sure how much I really can eat and afraid to eat too much. I haven't thrown up, but just nauseous ALL the time. I wonder if I have come down with the flu on top of it all. I am headachey too.

At home resting today and in a little bit of pain. Still getting rid of some of the gas and that does help. Not really eating much though - one can only eat so much jello and popsicles in one day! Thankfully I start on my pureed diet tomorrow. I feel SO hungry, but afraid to eat too much so I don't get sick. I hope this all passes soon - I just want to get back to normal. LOL!

I had my surgery earlier today and I am feeling pretty good! Hardly any pain, and I have already been up walking. So thankful that my mom is spending the night with me. It is always nice to have your mommy at times like this!! I am so excited to being this journey! I lost 14 lbs during my pre-op!! It is a wonderful feeling that I have done this!

I can't believe that I am about to have surgery! I have been waiting for this moment for 5 long years. I have one more day of work left, and I just hope it flies by. Packing tomorrow night and getting ready for Valentine's day for my son. Come Tuesday my life will change forever. Not gonna lie, the past 2 weeks have been so hard, and shamefully I admit that I have cheated. It is mind over matter thing and I realize that. Even though the cheating wasn't exteme, it was cheating nonetheless

I only have 5 more days til surgery! The hospital called me today with my surgery time and all the instructions for the big day. I still have to go get more blood work and an ekg on Saturday. I guess after I talked with the hospital it really just seems so final and real!! I am exhilarated that this day is FINALLY here! I have been wanting this for at least 5 years. *Sigh*
I do have a question though. I see so many people talking about a drink that cleanses them out before
