I had surgery sept 12 and just started full liquids today ( 20th). I hadnt had a protein shake until I got home from the dr today!

My surgery was on sept 12 th. the only thing I would add to the list would be socks and tennis shoes. My dr was insistent on walking as much as possible. I spent two nights and walked in my hospital socks ( w treads) on hard tile floor. My incisions are sore but my calves are killing me from walking with no support! It hurts to walk even today which is 4 days post op.

Ugh. I just drank the magnesium carbonate! Not fun. I've been dreading it all day but I know that this time tomorrow I will be sleeved! Surgery at 7:30 am!

I'm getting really excited but dreading all clear Iiquids tomorrow and no shakes! However - one day until I start my new life!

I'm sept 12 th also. Tomorrow I will start my 7 th day of the preop clear liquid diet with protein shakes for meals. I haven't had any food other than jello, sf Popsicles, and broth. It really hasn't been too bad. I'm also pre admitted and ready to go!

Hi everyone. My name is Sabrina and my sleeve date is Sept 12th. I've started my pre---op diet today and feel like this is going to be a miserable two weeks. I know it will be worth it, but worried about starving before then! Any tips?

Hi everyone. I went to my first dr appmt yesterday. I had my psych visit beforehand and have medical clearance. I am having a scope done Aug 21 and will set a surgery date afterwards. I am so excited and hate that I have to do the scope first. It isn't mandatory but I do have heartburn and some reflux so I thought it would be a good idea. I'm nervous about the prep diet. It sounds terrible! Any suggestions on how to get through it?
