I had my sleeve done, morning 10/26....now it is 10/28. I came home yesterday. Some pain, trying to walk and use incentive spiromotry, coughing is a bit hard due to sore abdomen. Not to be gross...but having loose liquid stools.

I just want a few days to go by, so I feel more normal. It's not horrible, but getting a lot of belly gurgling and it is tough to take sips.

I wrote that yesterday and I think I forgot to post it...It is now the evening of 10/29 and I feel a lot better. I am contemplating going into work for a one hour meeting/presentation...then back home to rest

Also, is anyone starting a FB page for us October sleevers? If not I'll set one up!

Op is tomorrow morning! Wish me luck guys

You look amazing! Keep up the great work!

You may want to talk with your surgeon. Its normal to have difficulty adapting to foods, again, but at two weeks out, you shouldn't be having this much nausea and vomiting. You may have a structure, or some other complication getting in the way of recovery.

Good luck to you! Let us know how you are as soon as you are able:)

11:20am Wednesday (11th Oct) here (eastern Australia) right now.
21 hours from now, I'll be half-way through my gastric sleeve operation.
I'm 99% excitement and about 1% apprehension. I'm ready for this.
I have to be at the hospital about 6:20/6:30am to be prepped.
I can almost feel the joy of freer movement and comfortable access that will follow ... from imagining it to the reality ... a new chapter for me.

Hi, Surgery twin! My surgery is scheduled for the 24th as well! Sooo ready for this next step!

My surgeon's office called, and moved my date up a week. I'm now scheduled for 10/17! Started the liquids today.

You, too!!! I've been getting ready for the liquid diet, by gradually replacing meals with shakes, I cut out carbs the first part of August, so that's been good, too. I'm excited, nervous, scared, and determined, all at the same time!

My surgery is next Wednesday, but I already hit my first milestone today. I started my journey at 333lbs. My doctor doesn’t require a pre-op diet so any real change in diet leading up to surgery is mostly on me. I made the decision to not wait until surgery to change my diet though because I didn’t want that drastic change from eating big portions to next to nothing. I figured I’d have a better chance of success having sort of trained by brain and body before hand. Well I had my last pre-op weigh in this morning at my doctor and I weighed in at 299lbs. Seeing my weight start with a 2 instead of a 3 was a huge boost mentally, and makes me look forward to getting this journey started all that much more.

Wonderful!!! I decided to start adjusting a little at a time, because I don't want to sabotage myself. My pre-op starts on the 12th. Are you guys going to do Premier, or Optifast?
