December Sleevers??

[karamelmami 38]

I'm December 27th. My husband has off that week, so I will be flying from Philadelphia to San Diego on my clear Fluid diet, on Christmas Day - dreading that part, lol, but it was my choice.
Definitely though, just talk with them and go with your gut - while you still have one ~ haha! Let me know how it goes, & good luck! Maybe we'll end up down there at the same time [emoji4]

Congratulations same day as me I’m excited and nervous [emoji45]

Hey everyone, just got my date! Looks like December 20th...going to be a different Christmas this year. My wife's sleeve went well last week. She had to stay an extra day in the hospital, but she is almost back to normal at 6 days out. This is my first surgery so I'm very nervous...but I think I'll make it.

I'm having mine on Tuesday, Dec 5th too. I'm on my 2 week liquid diet now and it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. Started it last Tuesday, Nov 21st. Already lost some weight, feeling really good about it. You just hang in there, you will do great...

That's awesome!! I will follow you if that's ok. I've been trying to get on a liquid diet lately. Last week before Thanksgiving was great but the holiday messed me up. My doctor didn't require it, only a two day liquid diet before surgery. But I know the more I can do it before surgery the better for the liver to not be as swollen. I'm so ready for this!

I had already been given a surgery data of 12/27 but they called and confirmed that my insurance approved everything. I go to my appointment on the 11th to start my liquid diet, then the 22nd for my pre-op and then the 27th is THE DAY! I am so excited. Less than a month to go.

I have seen how my mother has done with the bypass and I have seen the lifestyle change first hand. I am just glad that it is my turn now!

My doctor also told me to take 2 Flintstones per day. I've thought of buying the chewable Calcium and Vitamin C. I'm low on Vitamin D and ran out but I have the liquid eye dropper D3. No Iron for me until they test me a few weeks post surgery.

Well I survived my first day on the liquid diet. 4 Protein Shakes, 1 Jello cup, a Popsicle and what feels like 5 gallons of Water. I did have 2 cups of coffee. Just a few times yesterday I felt mild hungry but seriously not bad. I hope today is as good or better. Only 1 cup of Decaf coffee today.

I'm on day two - herbal tea and chicken broth are keeping me on track. It hasn't been too bad, but I live in an apartment building, and when I was coming up the stairs my neighbor was cooking something that smelled DELICIOUS. That made me feel really hungry, but I had a cup of chicken broth and it went away.

Wow! So we'll be at the same healing stages and everything. That makes us sleeve buddies lol. Good luck on your journey!

Yes that does make us sleeve buddies so we will be able to experience the same things at the same time.

First day of liquids today, so I am officially two weeks out from surgery! Seems surreal.

[Daveff 9]

Started my pre op diet today too. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Getting cut on the 12th.
