Well is 12:29 am 10/10/12 my surgery went great and I feel good. Best advice I can give is to get up and walk as soon as they will let you. And keep asking them to let you walk. Next thing follow your pre-op diet Dr said my liver looked great and made things easier on him.

I'm 5 days post Op and I feel pretty good. Walking helps alot and Protein Shakes give you energy. It was a little difficult getting 1oz down every 15 min at first but now its a lot easier almost normal. Once the swelling and healing take place you have alot easier of a time doing everything. Gas x and prilosec are real helpful. Bottom line Water, Protein and walk.

Sue jersey- how was your cruise?? Ours was awesome, of course.

The cruise was wonderful. Carnival is a great cruise line, super weather, good food, lots of time with my family. Awesome!

Glad yours was great!

All set for surgery? I JUST NOW got my approval....surgery is tomorrow...talk about down to the wire. Started my first Protein Drink and waiting to hear from the hospital what time to be in tomorrow.

This is what will get me through the next couple of weeks:

"Because you trusted me, I will give you your life as a reward. I will rescue you and keep you safe. I, the LORD, have spoken!'"

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.

Finally got my approval TODAY...surgery is TOMORROW. Talk about under the gun! Started my liquid diet for the day, waiting to hear from the hospital what time to be there tomorrow. Excited, nervous (a little) just want to get it over with.

Good luck to all the other 11'ers as well as those still waiting. And congratulations to all the other October sleevers who have already started down the path! Glad to share the experience with you!

I was calling every day.....so glad that I didn't have to change my date.

Congratulations on the weight loss with the pre-op, especially after the cruise! I got lucky that I only had to do one day before surgery of liquid diet. So no weight loss here but I am sooooo ready.

Looking forward to hearing from you after your sleeve!

I'm an October looser also. I'm scheduled for sleeve 10/23. Started my liquid (only) pre op Protein Shake diet two days ago. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The cravings are there, but no hunger :) I cheated by adding a banana to my shake yesterday morning, but if that's the worst I do I'm pretty proud of myself. Anyone else from DFW/Dr Kim? He's pretty great thus far.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
