Hey sleeve twin haha! Just take it slow I would and still have a bit of pain if I eat to fast. Honestly sometimes I forget I even had the surgery because thank God I have not had any problems.

Thanks, lucky you. I do try to eat slow,which is a little hard for me, it doesn't take much to make me full now. Glad you're doing well.

I completely understand it's hard for me to go slow. I was actually a slow eater before the surgery but now I feel like I have to go super slow and I also get full quickly. I think little by little we will get a hang of it.

Omg! Good to hear or read that someone else feels the same way I do. I didn't realize how much I did turn to food but I am so excited for this journey.

Awesome. I had to admit it to myself, and that was not easy. Glad I'm not the only one.

Tomorrow 1:00 28th Thursday the day! . I am starting to rethink..... Today was just, Water, broth, Isopur.Has anyone used Isopur as a clear liquid the day before surgery?

Another question.. I can’t stop sneezing. I am afraid this might burst my stitches :/. Yikes.. I hope I can take liquid Benadryl. I don’t want to sneeze. I am going rouge tomorrow. Getting dropped off at 11.. do you need anyone with you before you go into surgery?

My gut instincts say this is right. I just feel a little nervous, have anxiety.

well if any of my fellow sleevers have any advice love to hear your comments.

Hope you are all doing well. Thank God for this forum. It’s lonely out here.

Best Wishess to all for a Happy Healthy New Years..... forever. 🥂🍾To our new life! cheers

Hi, congratulations on your surgery. Feeling nervous is normal, I was scared out of my mind..lol...my husband went with me, but after I was in my room I sent him home. I do advice having a support person or persons. Don't go alone would be my advice. You will be groggy after surgery and you won't remember anything the doctor tells you. You'll be OK, good luck and we'll be here when you get back.

The stitches are tiny & just a few after surgery. Also I was second guessing my decision right up until surgery. Just think of all the befores & afters that you have seen. In a bit your pics will be something to see!!![emoji4][emoji173]️[emoji1376]

Has anyone tried to eat tuna yet? At what food stage did you try it? How did it sit in your new tiny tummy?

Don’t worry! Everything will be just great! I was sleeved on the 15th and feel great! I’m down 31 pounds since my pre-diet and surgery. I was incredibly nervous as well but don’t regret a thing now! I was in recovery for 5 hours because I had a large hiatal repair as well- you will need someone to hear what the doctor says. Good luck- I will be thinking of you tomorrow!

      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.
