Start liquid diet in morning and so scared. Having second thoughts. But shouldn't. I weigh 350 pounds and am 5'5" and will be 40 at end of April. I am so scared of 4 weeks of liquids and the recovery. This app has been awesome in answering questions.

Hey.. I am also being sleeved April 15.. Start liquid preop tomorrow - I'm 38, 5 feet 300 lbs. I am starting to panic!

Panic about what? I would reverse your thoughts and panic more on if you do not get this surgery. You have made it this far - time for the next step. Set it in your mind that you are doing it and don't look back. 38 and 40 are young ages and great times to do this. I just did mine on the 26th and am in the liquid stages still. Worry does nothing but cause issues. You know the risks involved get passed worrying about them and move forward. You will both do great. Before you know it you will be over here on the losers bench.. Stay positive..

Your right marathon1218

I recently joined the LOSERS and I couldn't be happier!

To the 4/15 gang

Don't panic. Just take it one day at a time. It is worth it.

I was sleeved 3/26. So far my recovery has been smooth. I'm starting week 4 of Protein drinks. Definitely getting bored of them. I am looking to start soft purée foods next week. WHOOHOO!

I have been using Unjury. You can only get it online. They ship fast,it usually arrives in two days. My favorite is the chocolate Splendor. I also like the chicken broth. If you get in touch with them they will send you a sample.

I use skim milk. I vary between shaker bottle and using a ninja blender the powder blends very easy and smoothly either way

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
