My sleeve surgery is on Monday 8/17 and I am freaking out. So nervous!

I am so afraid that I am going to be miserable for the rest of my life. Or inherit other kinds of health issues due to the surgery.

Thankfully, I do not have to do any of this pre-diet the rest of you are doing.

The day before the surgery I can just have Clear Liquids. But that's just one day!

@@chellebell it really depends on your surgeon. I have seen people say their doctor doesnt require pre op up to a 4 week pre op diet. Im was put on a 2 week pre op diet. You will have 10 days so i think you are okay because honestly it took me a day or two before i stopped cheating.

My surgery is also scheduled for the 25th and my surgeon only requires that I do a week liquid diet prior to surgery. So i start mine on the 18th. You also probably need to increase your Protein and Water intake if you are feeling faint. They require that i do a minimum of 5 shakes a day. Good luck to you.

Hi, everyone! My surgery is Aug 17. I've, of course, been on the preop diet for nearly 2 weeks now and it is sooo different than what a lot of you have talked about. Mine is a Protein Shake and a Protein Bar for both breakfast and for lunch, and a dinner of 5 oz of lean meats, 2 c of certain vegetables and 1 serving of fat (olive oil, mayo, etc). I can have up to 1200 calories a day, as long as I stay within the guidelines. I have stayed within the guidelines and haven't cheated at all....as very, very much as I have wanted to.

Now, when I read about people who went into surgery only to wake up and realize the doc didn't operate because the liver was too big, I get really scared. I do NOT want this to happen to me. Yikes.

May we all be total losers. :)

      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!
