I am sleeved and home from the hospital. I am having trouble getting all my liquids in. Just does not seem to be room for them. I am also having a LOT of heart burn. fun fun fun. Overall, doing really really well and I am excited to be able to start this part of my journey.

I get sleeved tomorrow. I have not been that nervous thus far, but now I am getting really scared. I keep thinking about what would happen to my babies if something happened to me. I know I shouldn't think like this, but I can't seem to relieve the anxiety. Those that are religious, please keep me in your prayers. thanks. on a positive note, I got weighed at the doctor today and after 2 weeks of the pre-op diet, I have dropped 25 lbs at least that is a positive.

I am scheduled for 1/10. Only one more day to wait

I get sleeved Thursday the 10th. It will be fine. I am nervous too, but remember you started this process for a very important reason. Remember that reason and stay strong! Good luck.

first and foremost, I would simply ask your surgeon to recommend what is best in your situation. However, my surgean has a presurgery diet that he requires each patient to do for two weeks prior to the . there are a couple of different scenarios, but they are all basically the same except that men get 200 additional calories than women. 2-- atkins advantage shakes, 2-- 8oz glasses of skim milk, 2-- cups of vegetables (no corn, peas, potatoes), 2-- small fruit. you are allowed unlimited broth and sugar free popsicles/jello. I have lost 18 lbs in 10 days. This diet was designed to quickly reduce the fat in/around a fatty liver, which is important to do before the sleeve surgery. Hope this is helpful.
