Having Gastric Sleeve surgery today, awaiting to be taken back to operating room. From this day on will be a new journey. Weighed in at 400lbs today at Hospital, started my clear liquid diet two weeks ago and lost 13lbs. I wish, everyone success and best wishes. I've been a paramedic for 26years have always put others first before myself. However, now it's time to save me.

Looking for anyone else being sleeved in January 2017. I will be sleeved on January 6th. Anyone else?

I just had mine done on the 24. Im heavier now than I was when I went in. Its must be because of all the fluids they give you. I hope the weight starts coming off soon

How are you feeling?

Pretty good. I have been able to get 25-30 Protein in the last 2 days each and around 45 oz of fluids, but I'm struggling with the fact that I miss chewing.

Just got home, from hospital. Had surgery on Wednesday. Kept me an extra day due to pain. My surgeon took pictures of the surgery at my request. Which was great to see. As they were doing the procedure found two tumors on my stomach. Those sent away to pathology, won't find out results until next appointment. Curious, if anyone has had problems with passing gas ? After the gastric sleeve. I haven't been able to yet.

My surgery is Monday morning!! What kind of clothes do you all recommend wearing? Are bras comfortable? Gowns or pajama pants?

Hi, all I packed was nighties.. bras for me was a def no no as there is an incision right near your bra line in the middle. And it's a lot easier to lift up ur nighties to go to the toilet then try to bend down to pull pants down.

For everyone that may have missed the invite in the earlier pages, there is a January 2017 Sleevers Facebook Page. It's a secret group (because some people do not want their friends and family knowing) so if you would like to join you can message me with your email address and I can add you.

Could you please add me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
