November sleevers here



Recommended Posts

I'm today at 1pm. Long morning so far. I'm starving and kinda weak/tired from Clear Liquids only. Have a pretty decent headache. It's 7:30 am and don't need to leave for hospital until 11:15. Think I'll quilt a bit and keep my mind off. My husband is making sausage and eggs and I am having hard time with smell I'm so hungry LOL. I'm not nervous YET. Just want it over with. I'm keeping positive.


Keep positive, your almost there !! Good luck today .

Hi BunnyJean,

I go in at 2 pm to have surgery at 4 pm. Weirdly I'm not hungry, just thirsty. Had to give up the Water at 10 am. I'm not really nervous either. I made my list and checked it twice.. I'm 100% packed and showered... I just need to get dressed. Good luck with your surgery.. We've got this!!:784_peace:

I got sleeved November 6th. Yay! Stayed one night in the hospital. Feeling pretty great. The only thing I emphasize is sip slowly and tiny amounts of fluids. When I didn’t I would throw up and trust me that is not pleasant!
Congrats to all fellow November sleevers!

First full day home after surgery. The pain is tolerable. The only issue I’m having is fluids. While in the hospital I was sipping fluids with no problem now fast forward & I cant get anything down without severe chest pain. I’ve managed to keep it down which is a chore in itself. I spoke with the nurse practitioner today and she told me to focus on things with electrolytes in them and since I was able to get a popcicle down with minimal pain she suggested I make freezer pops out of propel...etc so I gave it a try and I’m now able to get fluids down as l was worried about dehydration. However if things don’t improve I would need to go in...so hopefully this issue will resolve itself soon!!! Also good luck to everyone getting sleeved today!!!❤️

      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.
