NancyLF 234 Posted June 29, 2019 My original date of June 17 had to be cancelled because I failed my stress test, which in turn caused the surgery to be postponed. Everything’s OK now & I officially have a new date! July 22nd awaits! I’m excited, nervous & pumped all at once. The countdown begins! 5 3 Jessviera, smaller_sav, KarenLR75 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GradyCat 3,696 Posted June 29, 2019 I'm glad they were cautious and checked you out prior to surgery. Good luck on your WLS journey. 2 NancyLF and KarenLR75 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kathaleen revell 30 Posted June 29, 2019 Now we have the same surgery date!!!!! Let's keep in touch and share our adventure to the tool together. Do you start the liquid diet next week on the 8th? 1 NancyLF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluffy diva 4 Posted June 30, 2019 Hi Kathaleen, I am scheduled for July 22, 2019 also I am going to Nevada a place called Blossom Bariatrics. Well actually my stress test is the 22nd and my surgery is 7/24/19. I hope to God I don't fail my stress test . I was told if I could walk on a treadmill for 20 minutes without chest pains I should be fine. But I start my liquid diet on July 8, they recommend 14 days prior.

NancyLF 234 Posted July 1, 2019 Hey, Sleeve Sister! My doctor isn’t as strict on the liquid diet 2 week pre-op as others. He said that I should avoid carbs- cut out the Pasta, bread, etc... you know, the “good” stuff. LOL! He allows soft foods, yogurt, scrambled eggs, etc. I’ll probably do what I did before my date was changes. Do the soft food thing for a week & switch to all liquid for the final week. 1 kathaleen revell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wished I had listened to my doctor who had been urging me to have the surgery two years ago!! My surgery was 7 weeks ago today. So far, I have lost a little over 50 pounds. I am not feeling hungry, which makes it SO much easier. 1 shanshan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was sore afterward, but not in actual pain. They gave me a prescription for a pain killer, but I only used them the 1st 2 nights at home. After that, I didn't need them. I spent 1 night in the hospital. Mom -surgery Tues - home Wed - rested. Thurs - I was driving around - just another normal day. LOL! 1 shanshan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was smooth for me no pain, no discomfort, no nausea, no vomitting 2 days after my procedure I flew home. So far I'm down 35lbs but in the last week i hit a stall. After surgery I was a little tired it lasted about 2 weeks now i do Zumba 3 days per week and I walk (3 miles ) 3 days per week. The best decision I could have made 1 shanshan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
