November Sleevesters?

[BatesClanOf4 19]

I hope my fellow November sleevers are doing well!!!

I'm doing much better today (day 6 post op). Still have a little incision pain' date=' but not horrible.

Life is looking up!

I've decided to start a blog to chronicle my adventures with my VSG, so I thought I'd share it with you all...in case anyone is interested.

Today, I start the liquid diet phase of my journey. I honestly had a moment where I grieved for food last night, but I woke up with a renewed mindset and a Protein Shake. My whole life has revolved around food, Breakfast time we talk about what we will eat for lunch and lunch time we talk about what we will eat for dinner. I think that is the New Orleans in me, No more! I prayed this morning for strength to get through the liquid diet phase. Surgery is 7 days away....

You can do it! It was hard...not gonna lie...but it's worth it. I lost almost 14 lbs on my one week liquid diet. You got this!!

You can do it! It's gonna be hard...not gonna lie...but I promise you can do it. I lost almost 14 lbs on my 7 day liquid diet and at times thought I was going to starve to death but if I can do it you can do it!

Ok today is my day, sitting here with no sleep sick to my stomach and scared! I have to wait 2 more hours but I wish I could go now and get it done. I've read a lot of these posts and have learned a lot of people have to go through six months of appointments. In a way I feel like my time from the first consultation to now has been really to short.. But now I think it's good that's it's gone so fast because I've only had weeks to freak out instead of months..

Was sleeved on the 11th. Got discharged yesterday. Still sore but the key is to walk, walk, walk! Worse part was recovery but walking the first hour after recovery really helped. That barium swallow for the leak test was HORRIBLE! But good luck sleevers! Now to start losing!

I never got the barium swallow. Is that normal? My surgeon said that right after the surgery they puff up the new pouch with air and spray Water over it to look for bubbles... I always hear about the barium swallow and wonder if I am the only one who never got it...
