December 5th

[megamedic691 21]

Started my two weeks liquid diet today and I am already so Hangry. My surgery is set for Dec 5th and I couldn’t be more excited. Any advice is welcome. I am nervous but so so so ready. I can’t wait to get down to a size 10. And I am excited to be able to loose enough weight so I can run again and it won’t hurt my knees.

Hi! I had my sleeve done the 5th, too. How do you feel?

Congrats to those who have already been sleeved. How is the recovery going so far?

It's always interesting to see the different diet requirements others had to follow before surgery. My surgeon requires two days pre-op on full liquids only. I can't imagine having to stick to that for two weeks prior to surgery. Kudos to you for being strong and making it through!

Recovery is ok—much better Day 2. Only pain is in largest incision as surgeon said there are stitches in the muscle below that incision. I’m not taking the Vicodin, though, just 2 Tylenol per day. Feeling a bit anxious about the unknowns in the future-emotional changes, how I will react to real food; etc.

I'm glad you are doing well so far! I just had this conversation with my fiancé last night, that I'm liable to be an emotional wreck for a while lol. Right now I'm the most scared about the surgery itself (for some reason this whole time I've been afraid of getting a blood clot, even though I know the risk is low). I think after surgery I'll just be excited (and probably quite sore!)

Hi krys1386! Third post op day done and only issues are the incision pain and frequent gurgling in the new tummy after you drink. Unfortunately, I had to go get my monthly “friend” yesterday, so cramping from that isn’t helping. Lol! 2 more days for you! Good Luck! Keep in touch!

I have the gurgling too. It wakes me up at night. You’re lucky you got your monthly friend after. I stated it the hour right before my surgery. And it has been hell with the cramps.

Good luck on your recovery!!!

Oh no! I have PCOS and don't get my monthly visitor very often, more like yearly, lol. So when I do, UGH. My PCOS is one of the reasons why I'm doing this.

Here's to hoping the pill keeps me visitor free for a little while after surgery! Best wishes to you during your recovery!
