In need of a buddy sleeve date Feb 26!

[julet_licelot 14]

I am scheduled to have surgery on Feb 26th. If you are having surgery around that date or have already had your procedure I would love to have a buddy to talk to about our experiences. I am currently doing my pre-op diet. Right now I am 218 5'4 and I am hoping to loose another 5-10 pounds before my procedure. I would love to get some advice on the liquid diet after the procedure and what Protein drinks are good. I hope someone reaches out..starting to get nervous.. But oh so excited at the same time!!

How many lbs did you lose with the liquid diet?

Right now I am at 213 and I started off at 222 prior to the pre-op. So it works and I have to honest I cheated this last Saturday and Sunday. Surgery is Friday I hope to be 210 by then.

Oh cool, my nutritionist told me that she wants me to lose at least 5 or 7lbs in two weeks so she told me to do the high Protein diet...I've never done it before soo I'm really hoping to lose some weight with it.

When I first woke up I had a lot of gas pain and nausea. They gave me medicine until I was more comfortable. Yesterday just was not a great day. Today I am 100 percent better. I got a heating pad for the gas pain that seems to be worse in my shoulders and it helps more than anything else to control the pain. I can tolerate Water and broth now without nausea. So it starts off rough but quickly you will feel better. I would still say the pain was worth it!

Hi, Where in Texas are you? I am in Houston and my surgery is schedule for tomorrow.

So there is no doubt that you will loose weight with the pre-op diet. I purchased the Protein shakes and some bars through my Drs office. I have those or a Quest bar or a Isopure drink for Breakfast and lunch and then veggies and protein for dinner. It will melt off. You can send me a message if you need support thru this process!! Just message me

I also worried if it would work but it does. I had a 2 week post op on nothing but Protein Drinks, before surgery 1 month on Protein drinks. I was much, much heavier than you. Believe me it seemed impossible but it was. I had to lose before we could even do surgery. I was nervous but it is going good. I was really lucky no gas pain and no nausea. Just sip your Water and keep hydrated. My surgery was in Aug. and including the year before surgery on a diet given me by my surgeon I have lost 185 lbs. Now that is since I started before the surgery..1 year. It will be fine and you will do great. I'm so happy for you. Try to keep in touch.

Amazing success overall!! How far are you from your goal weight?

[mom2hounds 28]

I need to lose about 125 more. That is the total my surgeon & I agreed on. Long haul but will be worth it.

[skinny06 13]

Of course!! Your so much closer now just imagine

[mom2hounds 28]

Yes over halfway there. Just have to stay motivated. some days are really hard.

Hi. I'm kjcatchings1957. I'm in need of a support buddy too. I was sleeved on 11/11/15. So far I've lost 45 lbs. I'm a "slow loser" but that's fine with me. I'll have a better long-term outcome by losing weight more slowly and I'll have less loose skin. What do you say? Can we be buddies? Congratulations on your amazing journey into a new, exciting, healthier way of living!
