Hi Kassandra! My name is Kelsi and I’m 24 yrs old and I’m scheduled for the sleeve on 6/24. (So nervous). I’m 5’7” and 285 lbs. Best of luck with your surgery!! :)

Anyone else here have the sleeve June 4? I’d love to hear how you’re feeling and how you’re managing “meals”, Fluid intake, Protein Drinks.

I had the duodenal switch on June 4th and getting in liquids and Protein drinks have been a struggle. 4 oz every hour seems like soooo much. My pain isn’t that bad but is worse at night. I’m just tired all the time.

Hi I'm 5 days into my 2 week liquid diet and was wondering.. is it bad if I dont drink all the packs of that stuff they give you ?

[ginaedwards 27]

Hi Fox star! Not knowing your history or where you are in your journey I’m not sure how to respond. I would assume if they gave you what they said you were supposed to consume in a particular time frame that you should to maintain your health. Maybe call them and clarify?

Good evening, June Siblings! I am finally coherent enough to post. I had my surgery at 12:30 pm today. Praise God, I’m feeling pretty good. Ice chips and Water have been going down well. Pain is being managed well. Moved from bed to chair. Waiting on a Protein Shake to arrive. Went the the restroom with no issues. The only weird thing is that my lip is swollen. I seem to have a had an allergic reaction to something. No one is sure what, but they think it may be from the tube in my mouth during surgery. There were no complications. Although the doc found a hernia, which he took care of, as he thought it might contribute to reflux. Glad he did that. Anyway—just wanted update you all. I’ve appreciated reading all of your experiences and learned from everyone of you. I’m expected to be here for two days due to my hip and knee issues. I’ll post agin after the pain meds wear off😉 thanks for sending good thought and prayers my way!

I had revision from lapband to ds on June 7... 2 nights in the hospital and I’m home and I’ve even worked from home nearly all day today. This is way harder than lapband or csection ( I had 2 of those ) I had 2 week pre op diet, week 1 was 2 shakes 2 Snacks and a lean green dinner week 2 was all shakes and I was down 13lb when I went in for surgery. I’m so puffed up now from IV fluids the scale showed back up 10lb so I’m staying away from that thing a few days.

Surgery sibling! I had the sleeve on Friday. And heck yeah, I was caught of guard by how much it hurts. Today has been a bit better though and it's good to be home. Happy healing to you!

Hi lovelies! Sorry I've been absent - I've had a lot to do to get things ready! But my day is almost here... my RNY is tomorrow at 1pm. Making the switch over to Clear Liquids only soon... this is starting to feel so very real now. But I feel ready for it. And I'm extremely grateful that my clinic has prepared me so well for this day!

I have still been reading everyone's journeys on here in my absence - I hope those of you who are struggling post-op have a speedy recovery! We've all got this! 🤗 Go June Bunch, go!

Best of luck on your big day...I know that you'll do fabulously

Hope everyone is doing well!

I just got back from my pre-op anesthesia appointment. I had an EKG, met with the anesthesiologist, a nurse and had blood drawn. I go back one week from today on the 17th - arrive at 6:30am for 7:30am surgery! The anesthesiologist said my surgeon is his favorite and "the best". 😄

I can eat normally right up until noon on Sunday. After that it is clear liquids until midnight, then nothing after that. It's so interesting to me how every program is different!

It would scare me to start liquids so late...what if you're liver is enlarged?

Regardless, positive thoughts and good vibes coming your way...you've got this!!!
