Hi Everyone,

I'm having my Sleeve done on 1 April, and I'm looking for people who will be having surgery the same day. I want a group where we are all going through the same thing at the same time. Here we can talk about:

- Pre-Op To Do's

- Grocery List for After the surgery

- Vitamin Intake

- Concerns

- Post-Op Journey

- Success

- And anything that will help us with our journey.

I hope to meet some long lasting friends that understand our Struggle.

I am also going to be sleeved on April 1st. At this point all i can say is I can not wait, this 2 weeks of liquids is driving me crazy. My weight did not come from eating sweets, I am a bread and Pasta gal. All these sweet shakes, Jello and pudding .... yuk. I need something a little on the salty side, Any suggestions ????

I'm a bread and Pasta gal myself. And part of my weight is stress related. I'm not too sure of anything saltly. I didn't have to do 2 weeks of liquids. I actually start my liquids on Monday. I think I would of gone nuts if I had to do it for 2 weeks. Have you done any shopping yet?

Hello April 1st Sleevers

How is everyone doing????

Tomorrow is our first week Anniversary!

I feel great lots of challenges getting all Protein in!

Yet, in the big picture I am so pleased with my decision!

Today I finally hit my Pre-op day weight! GAINED 8 lbs

With all those fluids!!!! Scary! Now ready to watch

The scales start that downward movement!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Linda

I'm right in here with the two of you. I'm 4/2. Now that most of the pain is gone I am doing better at drinking my shakes and getting Water. I have done mostly water, but crystal light with some crunch ice is feeling like a blessed treat. I was walking/running before surgery and did a 5k the Sunday before surgery. I think the past 4 months of exercise has really helped me get up and get moving.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
