I have been eating jello and Popsicles I ran out of shakes and can't drive so hoping my friend can take me to get them tomorrow. I swore I had more but couldn't find them. My first dr appointment is Tuesday
-
I wish I had some tips. I seem to be getting everything down just find. As long as the water and shakes are cold. I mix jello in between Almost have a whole shake in today. Have you tried different flavored waters?
-
Yeah same here. I'm still not sleeping that well but it's improving. Other than that everything is going well. Water and protein shakes are going down great. Gonna walk a bunch more today since the weather is nice.

Hey. Sorry I have been away from this. I'm on day 2 of post op and I'm doing well. No issues and moving along. I start full liquids tomorrow. Still a little gas here and there but other than that and lack of sleep I'm good. How about you?

Just got my first Protein shake down for Breakfast. Could have been worse...lol. Excited to begin this journey. Best of luck to everyone getting sleeved this month and beyond. Hoping for success to everyone who has been sleeved already

I'm doing good. Hungry today. It's the last day of veggies and fruit. I have to be at the hospital at 7:30am. Rather be early so not complaining! Best of luck and keep in touch!!!

I'm in northeast Philly and getting my surgery at Abington Memorial Hospital and by Dr Bonani! I'm on day 3 of my 1 week pre op diet. 5 days away from surgery -
Day 1 of 1week pre-op diet.

So far so good here! Drank my 3rd protein shake a little late last night, and was up late but other than that I'm adjusting to it. Noticed the past two days I have been grumpy at times. Best of luck to everyone. 5 days from surgery!!! -
I'm doing good so far. I have to find ways to keep myself busy. Once I do it's pretty easy. I did notice I am grumpy at times. Today is day 3 and I'm doing well, only issue is I seem to not have a lot of energy...don't know if it's a mental thing or not How is it going for you?

Day 1 of 1week pre-op diet.
Gr8bowler replied to Gr8bowler's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks everyone! My pre op diet is protein shakes 3x a day in place of meals. Can have a little bit of fruit and raw or steamed veggies. So far so good. Just trying to get used to it. Noticed myself getting a little grumpy and not much energy. But it was only day 1 -
Thanks for the kind words. I hope I can lose that much. It's only a one week diet with shakes and a little bit of fruit/veggies. It's been tough but I'm committed to this life changing decision

Sorry to hear you don't have the support. This is a great site and I enjoy talking with everyone, but having outside support from people close really helps. I'm lucky to have the support of many people including co-workers and friends. Hope your friend comes around and learns more about it! -
Hey everyone. I start my 1 week pre op diet 4/6 and am starting to prepare to buy stuff. Looking for recommendations on what I should buy.

What protein shakes are preferred?

I tried the premier and struggled to get it all down. Gonna try another one and go from there. Thanks for all the information. -
I was wondering if any of the guys had success in losing fat in the pelvic area? I'm about 2 weeks out of surgery and and excited. Just something I was wondering, since I haven't talked to many guys recently.

Weight training reducing the effects of loose skin....
Gr8bowler replied to 6GP2008's topic in The Guys’ Room
I'm sure after my surgery, once I get the ok from my doctor I'll be hitting the gym a lot too! I'm hoping I don't have much issue with the skin. I'm at 340 and my goal is around 225 -
What kind of weight regimen did you start out with? Low weight and high reps or the opposite?

Hi everyone, My name is Wayne. I will be getting my sleeve procedure done next month. I am extremely excited to get it done but also a little nervous. I figured I would join a forum and see how it went for others and to get any tips that would help along the way. I look forward to reading everyones stories and start a new chapter of my own story and life.

Thank you. I look forward to the journey and support this group has to offer

Gr8bowler replied to Gr8bowler's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sounds like most people like the protein powder over ready made shakes. Thank you for all of your helpful advice. I'm gonna try a few different ones before I settle. Start my pre-op diet a week from tomorrow -
Congrats! My surgery is April 13th. I start my pre op 4/6. Was wondering if most guys have issues with saggy skin or not.
