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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
