Blue Door 54 Posted March 30, 2017 Hi Kafinator, sounds like today is your day. Best wishes that everything goes very smoothly. I am two days out and can't believe how much better I feel already. Each day it got so much better. Hoping for the same for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S Ann 8 Posted March 30, 2017 April 10 for me. Day 10 of 3 week, liquid only, 1000 calorie diet. Down 19 pounds. Very tired. Overall happy and very excited. I've been mourning food, though. Brie. Bacon. Kale. Melted mozzarella or cheddar. Subway Chipotle sauce. They top the list.At least the premier chocolate shakes taste good.Hope your pre and post surgery stuff is going okay. 1 queendeborahbee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kf42 4 Posted April 7, 2017 My surgery is on 3/30 also. I would love a buddy to gain and provide support to as we go through this!I had mine 3/29. How are you doing? I'm feeling pretty good. I am so sick of the shakes they turn my stomach and taste so sweet. Started purée today. Maybe just a couple spoonfuls and that was it. 1 Desiree Newlove reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleevedjana 5 Posted April 8, 2017 Surgery is on the 9th of April, so in about 24 hours!!! Going through so many mixed feelings about it, fear that I'm going to ruin my life and regret this... I'm only 16 and my BMI is 38 but I'm blessed to have supportive parents and a surgeon who's a family friend, but I'm getting it done in a public hospital here. Not the greatest environment to be in but just praying I won't have a bad experience. Any advice for my first days of recovery? Do you think I'd be able to go back to school in 8 days? 1 Desiree Newlove reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think I'd be able to go back to school in 8 days?Not sure if youll be able to go back in 8 days or not, I was sleeved 8 days,ago and could definitely have went back today, but my surgeon requores 14 days out. Also, are you going to be able to sip Water all day in school? Also, if you experonece nausea, it may be the pain medicine you are on, once they awitched me i didnt habe any more nausea.

Krenea 18 Posted April 8, 2017 I had mine 3/29. How are you doing? I'm feeling pretty good. I am so sick of the shakes they turn my stomach and taste so sweet. Started purée today. Maybe just a couple spoonfuls and that was it. I'm so sick of shakes! I went for my follow up on Wednesday, it went well. I was put on pureed foods then. What are you eating for pureed food? All of a sudden I feel like I don't know what to eat, lol. I'm feeling pretty well though, I think I'll go back to work mid week or beginning of next week. Honestly, I have enjoyed being off and foxusing on myself, I'm a mental health social worker so the break was good bc it never stops at work. What about you, do you work and if so, when do you return to work? 2 queendeborahbee and nomorefatjo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just knowing that I'll be fine in about 8 days is enough to comfort me! Thank you so much!!! 1 VSG4Mag reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nomorefatjo 28 Posted April 13, 2017 My biggest complaint would be how tired I am. Its annoying because I have 4 kids with tons of energy. I'm hoping this will change soon. 1 pastbandedsleever reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pastbandedsleever 19 Posted April 13, 2017 My biggest complaint would be how tired I am. Its annoying because I have 4 kids with tons of energy. I'm hoping this will change soon.I am in bed all day. Luckily I homeschool. My hubby is annoyed though. I am currently looking up B12 shots.... eating even makes me tired. I don't feel bad I just feel tired. When does that change? 1 nomorefatjo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
