Welcome aboard! I'm new too... my date is Monday, 9/15. What are your worries and concerns?

I'm trying to figure out how to Celebrate my 40th birthday without it being food centric. (October birthday )

I'm in CT! I'm nervous about the liquid diet lol. I know it sounds silly but I'm just concerned about handling cravings while feeling hungry. When I was 18 I had surgery on my intestines and the healing was almost the same as it will be with the sleeve surgery. So I'm not too worried about that part it's just the pre-OP things I'm concerned about.

Im also concerned about cravings.. Not so much the actual surgery or even the pain after just the liquid diet...

Hi and welcome!! I am having surgery Monday September 15th. Don't be worried about the liquid diet. It is a task but you will overcome it. My first day was pretty hard but it's mostly a mental thing. But you will be fine

Hi Alexsis! I'm getting sleeved 9/15 and am an October baby too! I'll be 36 on 10/23.

My big worry is the surgery itself. I've never been "put under."

Blessings to you on your journey:).

Had my sleeve on Wed Sept 10. Got home on Thursday and was not a good night. I thought to myself over and over if I did the right thing. It gets better every day like 10%, slowly it really does get better. You gotta have pain meds when you go home and push for nausea meds in case. The worst part IMO has been the stomach exit incision pain. It's very, very sore. Get used to sleeping on your back! Walk, walk, walk!

Good luck everyone!

My surgery is 9/26! Does anyone know if we're going to be on a strict, liquids-only diet two days prior to surgery? I can barely stand the two shakes, salad and Protein right now. I feel like I'm starving! I lost five and a half pounds in three days! What is the purpose of this strict diet now? I don't understand why it has to be under 800 calories a day . . .

Luana, the stomach is located behind the liver sorta. The dr would like your liver to shrink so it's easier to navigate around it making the surgery safer for you. Be glad, I didn't even get one real small meal. I was on two weeks of all liquids only. I lost 10 lbs in two weeks.
