August Sleevers Check In

[Loristi 14]

got the call this morning that my check in time is 6:45 tomorrow AM. I cant believe its finally here. Im a nervous wreck and thrilled at the same time. Im already struggling with not being able to binge eat anymore... isnt that weird? Its like a death of a friend. I only had to be on liquids for a couple days and already Im having inner tantrums about it. I just pray that this passes and that I can be successful. Im so scared of failing.

So I had my surgery yesterday surprisingly I wasn't nervous or scared and It was over before I knew it, it only took my Dr. an hour to do my sleeve which I thought would take longer. Today they started me on step one diet tomorrow advancing me to step 2 but other than the severe gas im doing ok. Hope everyone else surgery went well and have a quick and safe recovery

I am ready for August 26th!! I have been on a preop diet since June 20 and have lost close to 30# so far. I will have Clear Liquids on the 25th along with a doctor visit. So ready to have this done. Am a little nervous but know it will be better on the other side. Let me know if 26 is your day and we can try and be surgery buddies.

I was sleeved on the 18th...three days ago. Got home yesterday and am in really good shape! Getting all of my fluids in and Protein requirements is not easy, but not hard either. I'm doing this to be healthy, and hey,,,,if I gotta get those 90 grams of protein in, then I will. Premier shakes have been a life saver with 30g per shake. Three of those a day, along with sipping no cal gatorade the rest of the time, and I'm doing really well!

Went out for a wee wobble walk today and will go further tomorrow.

Me too, Urban -- we're VSG twins (August 18).

I'm done, did it, and am going fine.

Have been home two days. Sipping, walking, slurping, napping.

I know we'll have our ups and downs, but this was the right thing to do.

I'm feeling great about it.

Got the green light to advance to the puree stage today! So excited to be able to have some different flavors! tuna and light mayo have never tasted so good!

Surgery is on Monday (25th) and I have my preop tomorrow. Im so nervous something may stop it. I don't think I'll believe this is real until I wake up from surgery!

I had my band to sleeve revision done on the 20th. Having a heck of a time moving this gas, even with all the walking but I'm feeling good, very minimal pain, and hoping I get to go home tomorrow.

Hope you are all doing well!

Hello all I was curious for those that have gotten sleeved already in Tijuana . I wanted to know what the freedom was like, are we allowed to leave the hotel do we have to check in at a certain time .Are we allowed to go out and venture . I ask bc I have family that's 25 min away that I haven't seen in a lonnggg time and thought if possible I'd stop by. But if it's not permitted then of course I won't . Any input is appreciated that k you
