I am so excited I haven't been able to sleep for most of the week. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning. At 930 tomorrow I check-in to have my sleeve!

I haven't told anyone on my job either. My partner and mother are the only ones that know. I don't know about anyine else, but at first I felt like I was doing something to be embarrassed about, but that's not it. This was/is a very deep and personal decision and I didn't want the opinions of other people that had no idea what I was going thru for so many years being obese. There is much confusion on my job as to what I'm doing and it cracks my up! Am I going away for vacation, FMLA🤔🤔🤔

Wow! My dr had me on stage 1(clear liquids) in the hospital the day after surgery. Once I was able to tolerate that he put me on stage 2 puréed foods. I was getting nervous bc I’m not hungry at all I can’t even eat if I wanted to. Having a Hard time swallowing. Still hurts.

Good luck going back to work! I haven’t told anyone in either of our families nor friends. Only my husband and a girl who I met at the classes we had to take beforehand. Just don’t want the judgement nor unwanted opinions that won’t be helpful. I’ll tell some people when I’m healthier and it’s well over, so their opinions won’t matter at that point.

Officially 1 week post-op. Finally on track with liquid and Protein - struggled the first 5 days. Now on full liquids until follow up appointment next week.

Good luck to all those pre-op or in early days - it gets easier! We’ll be here to encourage and share your journey!

Apple and Stevie,

How are y’all doing? The gas pain this morning was pretty bad. The pain meds have been great and I’ve gotten in some good walks.

I’ve had Water, broth and Jello. May be able to go home in the morning.

Hope y’all are doing great!!

March 27, for me......very nervous. I have a lap band that twisted and can't wait to get it out, I only lost 35 pounds with it I've had it 7 years. Ugh

I look forward to loosing more weight and getting off sugar and high blood pressure meds.

I hope I can do this.....it's really helping me to read through all these.....thank you all.

Wishing you the best with your surgery. I’m also on 3/27/18, I also have a lapband and I’m being told that if there’s too much scar tissue when they remove it. My sleeve surgery will have to wait a few weeks. I’m so glad to be in this great group too, everyone is so helpful and informative.

Hey guys!!! Day 8 post op, day 3 on full liquids. Just wanting to know if anyone is having trouble with Protein? If I add unflavored protein to my creamy Soup or if I sip on a Protein Shake I feel so sick to my stomach. pudding, sugar free popsicles, Water is all okay, but anything with sustenance makes me feel ill. Help!!

      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.
