Hello. I was on the same pre op diet for 14 days. After day 4 it got easier. What helped me was I would mix 1 tsp of sf pudding in my shakes add ice, water and blend. The lemon and chocolate were delicious. The vanilla (pudding)was ok, I added strAwberries to it. I did not get hungry. Lost 13 pounds. It will get better. For real.

Pine Bluff, AR

Wow! You look Aaamazing!

Yay ! Now rest .

You look amazing! Tell how did you get those arms so toned? I have large arms and that is one of my concerns

Good morning, sorry I'm just updating, just been tired. My experience was good, and I know u will be glad u selected Dr. Baker. I honestly did not have severe pain and no gas or nausea at all. He take preventive measures before u go in suirgery to get a head start on this. Just before surgery he gave me an injection of Pepcid and Ragland (spelling). I had a hernia repaired that I did not know I had. Today is day six and I able to get liquids in,still struggling with the Protein that takes some creativity with been restriced to full liquids for the next week. Only concern I'm having now is these chills! I have chills all day and cannot get enough cover to get warm.no fever so that's good. I did weigh this morning couldn't resist down to 277 from 280 day of surgery on 10/10.

Questii. I was sleeved on the 10th. I feel good,liquids going down well having a problem getting the protein. I'm on full liquids for the next two weeks. I'm having violent chills, I'm cold to the bone. Then I will have a sweat. Is anyone having problems with chills. I check my temp and it normal.

Yayyyy. You did it! Yes you will be fine.

How long were you off ?

That's right, let go and let God. He got you. I had my surgery yesterday and that's whay I did. I prayed about and a calmness and peace came ova me. I go home in the morning. I will be praying for you.

Praise God I did it! In my room, just walkled aroiund the nurses station no nausea, little pain.just wanted to check in. Nite nite..the cpocktails r kicking in. Thanks for all the prayeres.

Just take a deep breath and relax. And now that all is well.I don't know what your faith is but know that God's grace is with you. Nowwww. GO GET IT!

Ok my time at 12:40. To all my buddies that are being sleeved today Good luck and remember that angels are watching over us!

Thanks. I live in Pine Bluff so I used a Dr here (dr.hunt) I lost 20 lbs total, 13 came from the 14 day liquid diet.I used a health coach through health advantage and my pcp for the 6 month diet. My pcp got upset with me because I wasn't loosing weight, I guess I was waiting on the sleeve I will keep u posted.

Also have Health Advantage and the process was easy. Dr Baker's office submitted my paper work on the 25th had an approval 4 days later. The 6 month requirement was the hardest.

Hello I'm using Dr. Baker also. My surgery is tomorrow.

Congrats Jackie! I go on Wednesday,right behind you

God's grace to all that is going to have surgery today. I am 64 hours away frfom my big day. I'm surprisingly calm. I know God is in control and I will be fine. Bags pack and ready to go. As of today I'm 13 pounds down on day 13 of my liquid diet.
