GoRoGo 4 Posted June 25, 2013 I'm on July 5th as well! Getting nervous! Currently at 264, want to get down to 260 by surgery day. Have you started a Protein Shake diet yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birdl0vergirl 12 Posted June 25, 2013 I'm self pay in Mexico, so I'm on the low end of the BMI for sleeve spectrum. I don't need to do a pre-op, yay for me! I'm just so sick of the weight already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoRoGo 4 Posted June 25, 2013 I've been fat my whole life so I am really looking forward to the freedom from weight as well. Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christine O. 7 Posted June 29, 2013 I'm scheduled for the 5th. I started my liquid diet today. Going to bed hungry. Bought all my Vitamins today. My mom flies in to help take care of my kids on Monday. Last day of work will be Tuesday. The time can't go fast enough! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoRoGo 4 Posted June 30, 2013 Yea! My doctor doesn't require the liquid diet until three days before surgery but I think I will start tomorrow because I've had a few too many "food funerals" this last week.???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christine O. 7 Posted July 7, 2013 How are you guys doing? Yesterday was pretty rough for me, but today I'm doing much better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoRoGo 4 Posted July 7, 2013 Glad you are feeling better! Today was my rough day. The gas pain is excruciating! Pain meds help, but they make me nauseous. Hoping for a better day tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoRoGo 4 Posted July 10, 2013 How are you other July 5thers feeling. I spent two nights in the hospital, rough but I am feeling so much better. Not having any problems getting down fluids or Protein. Energy level is low, abdomen is tight, but not on any pain meds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christine O. 7 Posted July 10, 2013 Today is my first day without pain meds (so far). I also spent 2 days in the hospital and am glad I did. I was not ready to come home before that. I'm doing well now. Heading out for a walk in a moment. Meeting all my Water and Protein goals. I think I'm going to be sick of these liquids pretty soon though. Actually I'm already getting a little bored at home. I'm off until e 22nd so I gotta think of something fun to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
