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!

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.

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.

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?

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. Good Luck!

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?

I will definitely be able to sip water throughout the day and I'll make sure to communicate with my teachers regarding my surgery and anything I'd need. Just knowing that I'll be fine in about 8 days is enough to comfort me! Thank you so much!!!

Hey y'all :) I was sleeved on 3/14. If anyone is looking for someone to share experiences/ideas, etc. with, send me a message! I'm in a great Facebook support group, too. They'd love to have you!

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?

      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'. ???

        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!
