I'm home an settled in here, everything went real with my my surgery and I feel like even my first few days so far. The doctor ended up using robot for my surgery which how it was not his first time using it, it was the first time it was being used at this hospital. this surgeon launched the programs here about two years ago but had come from another hospital at which I believe he also launched that program. They sent me home with liquid Tylenol with codine(spelling) and a pain patch. I feel pretty good so far and have started with my protein as I'm on an all liquid(not clear) diet for 7 days

Surgery was yesterday: dr stopped in today said everything went great... They do a leak test during surgery but another the following day: do I did go down to have that done... All is well and I was brought a tray of liquids: jello,broth, tea, water ice. Water. Pain isn't bad and the nausea has gotta better since they took me off morphine drip- now I have a pain patch

Good luck too those going in tomorrow! U will do just fine!!!

Apparently my Breast was hiding and incision. 4 and a drain

Hey guys, I was sleeved this am. Im feeling alright, I've got 3 incisions (one with a drain) I'm dermabonded- no stitches or staples. I do feel a bit nauseous, but I was just wheeled up to my room and that may have contributed to that some.

Good morning all: I'm here, checked-in IV'd up and ready to go. My surgeon has stopped by to c me already and Surgery time is ten minutes away... I'll give ya all an update whenever possible. Thanks for all the well wishes and support! -Michele

thank you! I am getting ready now and heading to the hospital for 740! Surgery weight 299.2! I lost 14-15 lbs on 7 day preop optifast

I'm also in pa... I go in at 740! If in able I'll start the board, or look to see if it has been posted in post op!

Nervous doesn't even being to describe the feelings running thru me right now. Surgery in two days, I'll be leaving behind my 9 month old for the longest time so far. I know that this is for the best and for our future... But I'm very scared right now

Hey everyone. I'm going in on Tuesday. I got a little confused last night by some thing someone said regarding diet- during the first week of liquids.. Are u getting protein(taking protein shakes?) someone in my Instagram support group went off on a tangent saying no ur not supposed to. Protein was on my list of stock up items ( for the first week) from my doctor...

I just signed up I'll let yll know how it goes ?

My NUT said carrots, celery, cucumbers and lettuce were fine as a snack...

It is a real struggle I only have to do 7 days liquid... I did wonderful the first four, aside from not eating all the optifast provided for me. today however. I'm irritable and hungry! I did cheat a little today but tries keeping it healthy at that

May 27- in on day five of a seven day optifast- this "food" is pretty terrible. I did cheat today for the first time but I made a smart choice and have my own chicken broth vs their junk. Oh well

I think that's completely normal... I've been on this journey for about four months and it's been filled with highs and lows and lots of anxiety about ugh just about everything... I know it will be worth it in the end. Tuesday is my big day!

congrats! Good luck!

anyone use gummie or chewable biotin? Brand? I'd really like to combat the hairloss as best as possible

My dr requires one week optifast preop diet.... My NUT said that most people struggle the first few days... Today being my first, I've actually done really well and I don't have any craving... Did any of you struggle...? Was it the beginning or the end? I am feeling pretty confident after today.... But just wondering how ur preop diets went?

Wish you all luck today! Happy surgery day

Lucky u have a little freedom! What's ur date ?

You are doing good!!! I hear this stalls can be very difficult... More mentally I bet. Do u measure also? I bet ur body is changing!

that sounds like it would be a nightmare... I told my husband he needed to prepare his own meals during this time. And my daughters baby food isn't appetizing so... So far sooo good

Same my original date was set 4/28

same surgery date- similar schedule... Just different requirements probably

I went for a consult 1/20 and had things been properly documented then I would have been 4/28- I needed more weigh ins because of that and ended up with a 5/27 date. I think it all depends on ur insurance and how long they require u to be involved in the program. Mine required 3 months
