YIKES!!! Hospital flow at 5AM to be sleeved.........

OMG ok so now Im getting scared. I have been pretty busy all day making sure I got all the last minute stuff I needed for the house, husband & kids. I also got whatever I didnt have for my stay at the hospital. I wanted to post earlier but I been running around all day. Well I finally sat down for a min and I though I better do it now. lol Anyway  Im thinking of the pain and that is starting to freak me out. *Im sure all of you had this experience. What would u suggest to me any last minute thoughts you can share with me????

On the top of being scared Im also hungry as hell, Im starting to be a lil jealous of  those who did not have to do a 2 week liquid preop and those who were able to have a last supper.UGHHH.... YES IM BEING A HATER!!!! LOL

Wish me luck yall, Im looking forward to being on the loser bench so slide over this big butt will be there shortly.

You'll probably be glad you did the 2-week liquid diet, because it helps your body with the transition after the surgery. It's already a shock to the system to get the surgery, so you don't want your body to be unprepared for the new diet.

The hospital professionals are there to take care of you. If you have pain, they will give you pain meds. I had lots of trembling and shaking right after the operation but they gave me something for that and it was gone. They want you to be comfortable and are very skilled at that.

It's normal to be scared. I eventually realized that I wasn't going to be able to convince myself to stop being scared, so I tried to roll with it.

BIG BIG BIG HUGS !!!!!

You will do great and be just fine.  Just think of all the things you will be able to accomplish in your new body that you can't do now..

If you are still really nervous in the morning tell your doctor and they can give you something to help you calm down.  They will handle all of your pain needs in the hospital and give you something to take home with you.

Just remember you are having major surgery and it will take a little time to get your energy back.  Give yourself time to heal and get used to your new tummy.

BEST WISHES  !!

Good luck! and see you on the other side.. 

to be honest I didnt have any pain I woke up asking the nurses if I had surgery, they got a kick out of that... I did have a burning sensation in my chest from the tubes.. but I never felt the gas pain every one else talks about.. 

 Good luck! I am sleeved next week and I am on the 2 week diet and starving. But, I am down about 6-7 pounds from it! I'll be feeling your nerves next Thursday! You'll be fine.

Good luck you will do great.  They will keep you conferable don't worry about the pain!

Although I didn't have a 2 week liquid pre op diet, I'm hungry too... I woke up to my stomach making the loudest noises ever in my life, I thought there were monsters in my room, lol!

I wish u all the luck today, by time u get out today I should be goin in!!!

Big hugs and even bigger prayers!!!!

Good luck!  You'll you do great!  The new you starts today!!!

It was amazing to me how quickly I started feeling better and better.  I had to have a hernia repair (discovered during my sleeve procedure), so I had more discomfort than I would have without it.  Pain meds totally relieved, and hour by hour I felt more normal. I'm down 9 pounds since surgery last Thursday, so that's an awesome pain reliever as well!  Wishing you a smooth, smooth recovery and good luck on your weight loss journey.
