I had surgery yesterday August 15. The nurses say I'm the best the recovery from the sleeve. Got my room at 1252pm took a nap until 210 then asked to walked. I did 3 laps around the floor (17 is a mile) before I got tired and weak. Then 450pm comes and I walked more 5laps this time before I got tired and week. Then 736pm around and I feel like that's normal to feel all this e energy. This time I walked 26 laps which is 2 miles in one day. I have not felt much pain only nacreous once at that was at midnight. Other wise I feel great Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello everyone. I am doing my clear liquid diet this weekend to have surgery on August 15. I survived yesterday yeah I end up feeling weak and had a headache by 530pm. It is now 230am and I'm have all this energy. I hope today is better than yesterday. I keep thinking I'm almost there I can do it. It's hard but when u want something bad enough you can do it. If I can do it so can you!!!! Be proud of what u have accomplished and think of what all will be accomplished after surgery. Think positive and positive will happen. Also I'm down 4 pound from yesterday morning. Have a great day everyone. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You can do this, so exciting your surgery is almost here, I had my surgery on the 11th doing well, I was very worried before surgery about gas pain I heard they were awful. A friend of mine had this surgery and she told me it was very important to walk as soon as they would let me which I did so I walked often in the hospital after surgery I was sleeved on the 11th and went home on the 12th. No problem with any gas pains. I too had headaches on the liquid diet. I attributed to no coffee. Good luck with your surgery. Thank you for the advice. I will be walking around as much as they let me. I want to be able to go home to be with my daughter. Thanks will keep posted. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery is on Monday and I'm wondering what do I have to stay away from forever?! I do plan on talking about this with my doctor before or after surgery. Am I not gonna be able to have burritos and burgers again. I really like my burritos with green chili and same with my burger. If not forever how long do I wait for them? Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I do plan on it. They said there would be one there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

This is a HUGE problem, in my opinion, and borders on malpractice. This is NOT a surgery to be taken lightly or to consent to without extensive teaching about the reality of having 3/4 of your stomach removed. My program has what's called a Bariatric Pathway that you HAVE to complete prior to having an appointment with a surgeon to even discuss which surgery, etc. On average, it takes 4-8 months to complete. We have to meet with dietitians numerous times, go to classes about food, exercise and wellness. I had to have all my health screening requirements for an entire year completed before I could see the surgeon (for me, that was a pap smear, mammogram and colonoscopy). We have an occupational therapy class, as well as body fat analysis and a resting metabolic rate test. We also have to attend support group monthly prior to surgery and quarterly after, and we have an in-depth psychological screening. It just seems so very, very wrong that someone can get to the Saturday before a Monday surgery and have had no classes with nutrition and only 1 contact with a surgeon. Mommylove2014, you will see your surgeon for about 45 seconds on Monday before you're on the OR table and asleep. The people you'll see when you go in for surgery are surgery experts, but they have zero information about post-op care, unless you're having surgery in a place that only does bariatrics. I urge you to do as much online research as you can in the next 36 hours, and if you still don't know the answer to 'can I ever have a burrito again?', consider postponing your surgery until you can complete the needed educational steps to gain an understanding of the enormity of what you're getting ready to do. I don't see how any surgeon or surgical team with any professional scruples could have you sign a consent form without understanding the rudimentary needs of post op life. I wish you all the best, and any irritation in my writing isn't toward you, but toward medical practitioners who don't properly educate their patients. I didn't have to do the classes due to me doing nutritional classes with my primary care doctor. I did the psych exam. I was given a lot of information at my binder appointment on the 3rd so much information I was just asking because I forgot to ask when I was there. Every practice is different normally this practice u have to do 6 months of classes with them but because I seen my doctor for over a year they said I didn't need to have the classes.

@@KristenLe I only seen my surgeon once. I was supposed to do 6months of classes but then the insurance company toke that I was seeing my family doctor for management for more than 6 months so they just scheduled it asap. Hopefully he explain more on Monday. I just want my green chili. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah I been having my Popsicle. I didn't even think of the mio mix. The only thing that sucks is limited energy with a two year old. We are staying home this weekend. I know I got this the light of the tunnel is almost here. Thanks for the suggestion. I forgot about those @leebick. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can't even have veggies @@mom2madison I think it's because my surgery is the 15. Lemon Water has become my best friend. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am having my surgery on Monday first thing in the morning. That being said i am on my 3 day clear liquid diet i started today. I was hungry until my stepdad gave me a idea. Get off the Jello and broth drink Water it will fill you up. I made some lemon water so its like lemonade and im starting to get not hungry. Im a little nervous for surgery on Monday i hope all goes well. Is there anything else that is considered a clear liquid? i have sugar free jello sugar free Popsicle and broth then of course water!!!! I am glad that my stomach isnt growling now that i stopped drinking the broth and moved to lemon water though!! Is anyone else having surgery on Aug 15? Are you nervous because i am! it came up quicker than i thought it would. Also how do i post from the app because i couldnt figure it out and i had to log on my computer... Im new to this site! Thanks in Adavnce!

How do u feel? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah no coffee. U only have to do 1 day @@KristenLe ur lucky. It's crazy every doctor has everyone do something different. My best friend is having hers on August 30 same office different doctor and she just has to do the liquid diet that we are doing after with Protein shakes and grilled chicken 2x a day for a week. I rather do that. But I can't complain surgery is in couple of days. I just like chicken Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
