 Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I was sleeved yesterday around noon. I did have a reaction to the anesthesia in that every time I woke up in recovery I felt anxiety ridden but that went away when I was wheeled to my room.. So far that day seems like a blur because I was in  and out of sleep. Some pain when I get up out of bed but mostly a feeling of like doing a 100 crunches or being hit in the stomach. I also was having heartburn from the lack of food so I was given Nexium. Nurses all said I was doing good and I was the only 1 I saw walking around as much as a I did. I had 2 leak tests.... a dye and an upper GI where I thought I was going to vomit that horrible liquid. 

Just had some sf pudding that the hospital gave me before I went home and I only could eat half of a condiment cup (2oz?) I am not sure if it's just gas from no food in my stomach or restriction but I didn't want to take my chances and I put it down.  I wasn't hungry till now but I don't have the desire to eat. Also I just might be craving water so I am trying to sip sip sip. Anyway even on this laptop I'm struggling with this post.... talk to you all later and once again thank you!

Yay for you to be sleeved! Glad you are doing well. I hope I get pudding after surgery but I think I am only allowed clear liquids for one week, that will not be fun at all!
