Yes, I actually am having the opposite effect. I am overly sensitive to smells which is making the nausea worse.

congratulations domi,what a crazy story.i too have to wait a week before driving.i stuck 100./. to the clear liq diet a wk before preop & now a wk after & am dwn 20lbs.i know its hard but it made surgery go extremely well,u dont want to take a chance or have complications.

April 18! Finally I got my date.

I start my Pre Op Diet today. It’s beginning to get real. I have been preparing by doing Protein Shakes, yogurt, Water, Jello, and ice pops for 2 of the meals and then having what I wanted for one meal. Had my share of food funerals with friends. I must say that I have some really amazingly supportive friends. We are now in our 50’s and friends for 45 years. We went out Friday night for my last bender and we all committed to getting healthier and all committed to begin walking rather then always going out for dinner.
HW 227
Current Weight 213.7
Surgery Date 4/25/18
Getting excited.

Hey just wanted to wish you all good luck. My surgery is on the 19th of April. Hope we all begin shedding the pounds

Tomorrow is my day. I have to be at the hospital at 8 am. I am excited and nervous. I have been doing a diet for the last couple of weeks, but today it is Clear Liquids only. I think it is mental, but I am starving. haha. I haven't been hungry the while dieting till today.

Hi everybody, I just had my sleeve surgery three days ago on April 4. Recovery has been pretty good so far - only one night in the hospital and not much gas pain. Oddly, I'm 2 pounds heavier than on the morning of surgery, but I'm attributing that to the tons of IV fluids I got in the hospital so I'm not too worried. I'm trying to keep well-hydrated and am allowed to start diluted Protein Shakes today. Yippee.

im five days post op & dwn 20lbs since 1 wk pre op.the only issue im having is the back door trots,had a little all along but yesterday was more frequent,its not a big amnt,tmi,sorry,but enough to b uncomfortable,& it sounded like there was an alien in my belly.the only thing i have added was the Protein water.wow are they sweet,even diluting in half is not enough to take that sweetness away.im diluting 3 ways today.im over the Jello, popsicles,broth,& dec teas.i cant wait to add Protein Shakes, yogurt,sf pudding, crm Soups, crm of wht,skim milk,&v8 jce on sunday, but slowly im told.anyone else having issues?the dr. said i could take imodium but i was trying to avoid that.

Had my surgery on April 4th, found this community today.
Preop diet was hard mentally did have a Cheat day one week prior to surgery BEER and Wings had to say goodbye lol..
Managed to lose 11lbs pre op Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch, dinner was usually Soup or 3 ounces of chicken and a small bowl of black Beans.
Starting weight was 330lbs surgery date was 319lbs today I am at 313lbs looking forward to seeing the weight melt away and hitting the gym to help out.
My surgery was 1 hour 30 mins long since I had to remove my lapband, I was up and walking an hour later and checked myself out an hour after that.
Drinking fluids is a New experience as its very sensitive, so take small sips and stick to it you'll know how much you can swallow before feeling this cramp. its gotten better today 48hours post op.
Took a few percocets for pain at night first night and second day today I am feeling great (still sore) but more normal and drove myself to work to get some paperwork done I know I know but I am a rebel and rules are for other people...
Hope to contribute however possible to the board. Good luck to future sleevers and lets kick some ass with our new tools.

Oh my goodness Domi! What a story! I am so glad that you are doing well. Congrats!

Thank you. I made it through day 1. Swallowing isn’t bad, I just have to remember tiny sips or I feel like major heartburn for a minute. It’s weird that I can feel the Fluid going into my stomach. I’ve also had the nicest nurses ever.

Started the day in surgery prep with a power outage, so surgery was delayed an hour. After surgery(thank goodness) there was an earthquake. This goes with my crazy life ) I’m doing great so far. Surgery was 9 hours ago. I’m taking pain meds and drinking fluids very slowly. I’m also able to walk pretty good. Thanks for your support. We’re all in this together [emoji322]

No, I haven’t. Is that ok? Is there a limit on the Amount? I think someone mentioned adding Protein to broth. Are there unflavored Proteins? Thank you so much for the advice.

I had good days and bad. Mostly at night was the worst. Today was Clear Liquids only and citrate at 4. I felt so bad I wasn't hungry, but this time tomorrow I'll be on the losers bench. [emoji106]

good luck april 2nd sleevers!!headed to the hospital shortly,will update u later.

Good luck! You got this!

Hello All,
I'm scheduled on April 27th and on the pre-surgery diet. I've ordered my Protein Shakes and supplements through VITALEPH. They have pre and post surgery kits which come with Protein Powder and supplements. It is a bit expensive but I figure I won't be eating no where near what I have been so it offsets the cost.
I've selected to have my surgery with Dr. Ariel Ortiz from the Obesity Control Center in Mexico. Would love to find others who will be there as well. I'm going to stay another day...just in case

Glad I can help a little, If we all pay forward the world is a little less cold and life a little more worth living[emoji14]

I am using premiere Protein Drinks. I've tried chocolate and vanilla and they are both pretty good. The vanilla tastes like melted ice cream. I drinking Water, Decaf tea and also using crystal light to change up the flavor of water. I also have chicken Bone Broth. The bone broth has more Protein than regular broth.

I'm scheduled for 4/12... pre op diet starts this Wednesday for me.. I've stocked up on 6 cases of Premier Protein (choc., van., Cookies & cream). I also got 2 cases of clear premier Protein waters. I got vanilla whey Protein Powder, a unflavored protein powder & PB2. A ton of chicken broth & sugar free jellos & puddings. As for Vitamins I got chewable Multivitamins, chewable Calcium & chewable Iron which my nutritionist said I had to get, I also picked up chewable Biotin in case of Hair loss. I also have a NutriBullet, I hate most veggies & fruits but I find if I pulverized them I can drink them. I'm actually starting to get a bit nervous now it's fast approaching! Good luck to you, good luck to all of us!!!
