Hello to everyone . I got okayed this week for my gastric sleeve surgery....scheduled for Oct 28, 2019......I have some wish washy feelings going on right now....I have lost 14 lbs on my own since I started talking to Dr about this surgery the first of July....Same Dr. took out my gall bladder on June 17, 2019. so I popped the question of sleeve surgery to him and it has been a journey toward this goal every since....So looking forward to it and getting my life back again...I have been bouncing around 200 lb all of my adult life. I am 79 years old and didn't even think it possible to get approved because of my age....so glad I was approved....anyhow I retired and got married and also moved from NC to Ga. all at the same time....11 years ago....that is when the weight started piling on...I had gotten up to 267 lbs and now I weigh 253 lb. Would love to hear from anyone that would like to share pre-op and post op tips.....and how to eat after the initial post op liquid diet.....thank you all and looking forward to hearing from anyone...SissyJ

I posted in the other F2F thread oops... ~4 yrs ago vs today

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your response. My surgery is this Wednesday, October 9th! Ready for a healthier ME! Congrats on your success....we can do this!

I was Sleeved in July. The day after I came home from the hospital, I called my doctor. She immediately had me stop the Glimipride & Ozempic. I'm only on the Metformin (for now). She says I'll probably be able to stop that after monitoring for about 4 months. YAY!!

Don't worry about it. There is so much swelling right now, as well as the IV fluids. It will come off - it's not real weight gain, such as in fat. That is impossible.

Oh gosh, I'm enraged just reading this. You are so strong to have persevered through all that crap. So impressive. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery from this point forward!

I don’t know if there’s already one, but I’d be willing. To post my daily menus

Hi everyone! I was sleeved 4.29.19, everything seems to be going normally, except IM SO HUNGRY! My stomach growls when I wake up, and growls thru out the day! Im not having the weird stomach noises Ive heard people talking about, its growling and im hungry. That empty hollow hungry feeling. Did this happen to anyone else? On the r/wls subreddit someone suggested it was acid reflux, but it doesnt feel like that, and I take 2 pepcids a day, and I dont eat anything to trigger that. IDK, just thought Id throw that out there. Im getting 700-1000 cals a day, 70-100 protein a day, keeping carbs under 50, drinking water.
