September sleevers wanted!

[gena155 0]

My surgery is scheduled for Sept 20th. Been on the liquid diet for almost 26 hours now. Today is harder than yesterday. I think the excitement of starting wore off about 4pm. (o:

Anybody out there feel like a vampire? Feeling the need to feed on Liquid Protein and feeling better when you do? It's already been a creazy experience and I just got started.

Knowing I will have the help of the sleeve to reach my goals gives me hope I've never had before. So far - the best decision I've ever made.:thumbup:

I'm goin in 2wks frm 2day - 9/21. I startd my pre-op liquid diet 2day. Hard Core...but I'm committed. This is sure to be one wild ride!

Now that I look back at this, the clear liquid diet pre-op really wasn't that hard. Stock up on sugar-free popsicles, crystal lite, broths, etc. Hope you found a good Protein Drink that you like as well!

To be honest, the best clear liquid broth I got from the hospital the day after surgery. It was quite flavorful (wish I would have looked to see what it was).

Before you know it you'll be through your surgery and working on healing!

Determined1,

You will do great. I was moved up also but only by 2 days. My surgeon is leaving for vacation though, and I rathered they moved me up than have a Doc who's mind is on making his flight out of town that evening.

Keep us posted and Good Luck,

Tracey

hi everyone! i was sleeved on the 7th and this is my first post post sleeve! i am doing well - getting my fluids in and just taking each hour as it comes! i have alot of painful tugging on my left side but apparently that is normal. recovery for me has been pretty quick but i am not going to lie - i was in alot of pain in the hours after surgery.

i hope everyone is good and if any of you have any questions just ask! x
