Hey all, sleeve done on Sep 6 and am home. Not sure if it's gas or just cramping or nausea but definitely not a fun feeling lol. Abdominal wall pain is more than I expected but trying to get up and walk through that pain. Hoe everyone is doing well!!

Just Awesome! (as a little tear in my eye forms...). Really nice to hear and thanks for sharing that

Oh man that sucks, sorry to hear!! well at least you don't have to do the damn liquid diet again!!!

Day 1 of the 10 day liquid diet.. Ooooo, fun... <complete sarcasm> End it with some nice explosive diarrhea. OK, 9 more to go til surgery

One more week til liquid diet starts! It's starting to get real...

HAHAHA, Same here, I just got three amazon packages...

Three weeks to go til Surgery. I'll tell you the one thing that is tripping me up BIG TIME!!! I am really struggling with this no drinking while eating... That one is going to be some work back when I'm eating normally for sure

The broth is really good, but I did not like the noodles or the texture. Take my review with a grain of salt though, I don't like ANY of the alternative pastas either (Chickpea, cauliflower etc..)

There never is an easy answer here is there 🤣🤣 I've got that on my list to check with the team as well, thanks all!

Hi all - It's not clear in any of the material given to me but when can I start adding fresh or frozen fruit to a protein smoothie? Thx

So what is everyone doing while playing the waiting game??? I'm eating reasonably, definitely indulging in ice cream a bit more than usual as I'm going to be saying goodbye to that for a long while 🤣. Getting a ton of riding in as well, taking advantage of some nice weather! Holding off on any weight training, I'll plan to start that after I get cleared after surgery. Mentally, I'm ready. Still have some lingering fear and remorse that I need to make a permanent change to my body to finish losing the weight. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Scheduled for a Gastric Sleeve on Sep 6th!!

Looking like I will have a Sep 6 surgery. Just waiting on insurance confirmation... Good luck everyone!

How long did you take off from work? I have my pre-op appt with Surgeon next week and am curious how long you gave yourself to go back. I work remote so won't be too taxed. Thanks!

Thanks all! I think the unknown for me is how much will I be able to drink at one time, I basically chug 12-16 oz at each stop when I ride today....
