I am having my surgery tomorrow. TOMORROW - I can't believe I am saying that. I was originally scheduled for Thursday but my surgeon changed it to Monday. I am scared out of my mind. I am down 12 pounds already from the pre-op diet. That is huge motivation but I am so nervous. I think the only two things that really scare me are not waking up (risk with any surgery) and the pain after. I have watched so many youtube videos of people right after the surgery. I know everyone is different but stressing is one of the things I do best. :) Any words of encouragement would be nice to hear today.

surgery tomorrow. - scared

MoonShun

some/most/all of "us" sleevers are nervous/scared/excited/anxious

all these emotions are normal :unsure:

hopefully ;) /probably you will wake up !!!!

99.99999% of people have no/minimal problems

but you should feel better daily :)

most people do have some pain immediately after surgery

gas issues are very common - but walking helps that issue

"try" and calm down/and get some sleep tonight :)

sweet dreams thinking about your new, healthier, happier, longer :)

good luck

speedy recovery :)

Sending prayers up for everyone who is having surgery tommorow, My surgery is for March 25, next Tuesday... I wish I was going in tomorrow, the waiting is the worst.

Soon you will be past this surgery stage...ready to transform out of the weight cocoon and emerging into the butterfly, flying free. God Bless!

Well I made it! Everyday I feel little bit better but if I am being totally honest, only a LITTLE bit. I came home from the hospital today. I still have gas pains and a crick in my neck. I really feel if those stopped hurting so much I would be tons better. I can't believe I am on this side now. It's crazy!

My surgery was Monday. Not going to lie, I felt pretty awful that night. Tuesday was better but not by much. Finally starting feeling normal if you will by around 8pmish Tuesday night. Went home from the hospital today, Wednesday at noon. I feel good but very sore, sleepy. Surgery and pain was way worse than I imagined, the catheder and the drain hurt bad...but I feel better every hour even. Hope everyone that had surgery this week is fairing well! Keep us posted!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
