Yay! Stage 1 complete! Have you had a c section? Does it feel like that? Do you have gas pain? How long were you on liquids to shrink your liver? I start liquids tomorrow (for a week). Still trying to figure out what to "drink"? Is fat free yogurt ok? I really need to look at my preop paperwork!!!!

Soooo I'm approved for surgery the 29 of July yay! But my preop ekg was abnormal and now i need a stress test. This is going to be on Friday. It's a treadmill and nuclear. Has anyone had this?! Big girl on a treadmill watch out. Is this like full out running? I'm nervous. And what happens if it's positive? Let's hope I don't find out. Start liquids tomorrow. Double whammie!

How many days off of work have you guys needed post sleeve? I have 10 days off- I wonder if that's enough? I don't do any heavy lifting....

Good luck girl! Let us know how it went!

Yay !! ????????????

I'm super nervous too

Omg good luck. I'm on the 29th.

That is awesome! I started mine two days ago. This makes day 3. I have been drinking 2 Lean GNC premixed Protein drinks. The flavors I have now are Mint chocolate layer birthday cake and Banana cream. They are pretty good. I have also been drinking chicken broth and Water flavored with Mio. I am also allowed 2 Snacks. These range from sugar free Chocolate pudding, Greek light and fit yogurt and sugar free Jello. For dinner I am allowed a bowl of any non-cream based soup. I am in Texas (DFW area). I am so ready. I met with Dietician today, had my cardiac stress test, Echocardiogram and took my pre-op class. Now just have to buy a few things for after surgery. Are you feeling super hungry on liquids? Those drinks sound good. I have been using nectar Syntrax the Caribbean cooler and fuzzy navel are good mixed with almond milk. And the premier premixed chocolate is pretty good too. How was the stress test did you have to run on a treadmill? Not sure how far id make it....

You are my new surgery buddy lol. I go the 29th. They say I'm still waiting for insurance approval though- nothing like stress of not knowing. That and I requested off work, have someone to cover me, planned it by my menstrual cycle... I could keep going lol so hopefully everything works out. My surgeon requires one week of liquids. That sucks you have to do 2. I start on Wednesday. What have you been drinking... What's a daily menu so I can get some ideas? I'm in Florida where are you? Good luck and keep me posted!

Has anyone tried a coffee flavored one that they like?

Omg good luck! Tell us how it went (I go the 29th).

I'm the 29th. Anxious as well!

Good luck and let us know how it goes!!!

I had to do a chest X-ray, EKG, blood work, urine. No ultrasound no needle no upper gi.

How many days were you in hospital? Were you in or a long time?

Hello! Was it very painful? I'm so sorry you are hungry- I was hoping that would stop as well!! I love drinking infused water.... Watermelon slices - with our without cucumber. Oranges slices w blueberries. Lemon, limes, oranges. Strawberries and basil (I know crazy). Blackberries and lime. There are so many to do! Look on Pinterest on infused water. That's where I get my ideas. I get sleeved the 29th (hopefully if insurance gives me final approval). It's so hard to get 64 oz h20 in w my big old stomach now I bet it's soooo hard! Good luck! And let me know what your daily meals are so I can get some ideas. Thanks

Good luck!!!!!! Let us know how it went...

Hi! I go on the 29th. Was it very painful? Is it difficult to get the water in? How do you feel? Do you work - how long did u have off before going back? Do you think you haven't lost weight yet because of all the swelling and fluid associated with surgery? I hope you keep your spirits up- hopefully it starts falling off soon.
