Yes I am! On day 2 of liquids prepping for a 4/19 sleeve surgery. It’s been a little rough dealing with the hunger pains. I’m a little encouraged to read most people have an easier time after that!

Our bodies really want carbohydrates and it can take from 3-5 days for those carbohydrate pangs to disappear. You absolutely should expect things to get easier. you can do it!

Thanks yea I feel like along with a slight headache from cutting out caffeine as well. I was planning on tapering off prior to yesterday but I didn’t and now I’m feeling it. I feel motivated though and excited so I’ll push through! Keep me posted on your outcome I will continue to keep my fingers crossed!

Thank you so much. I think I am having a RNY due to a large hiatal hernia that will be repaired at the same time.

I had the RNY in '07, with your other issues, that is why they are giving you a nurse. Take it, it's free... lol. You'll be fine

Surgery was a success! But these gas pains are no joke. Hope all my April 6th surgery day friends are doing okay!

I had my surgery on the 4th. I also had hernia repaired. My stomach hurts, I feel bloated, and it's difficult to drink anything. I've also been sleeping alot. Im not worried about the pain when drinking anymore, as others have had the same issue. It's a journey and not an easy one, but Im willing to take it. Wishing everyone the best!

I just had mine done on the 5th of April. I'm only two days out, but doing great so far. It's been a life long change, but it's worth it. Can't wait to see what's in store for me!!! Thanks for your best wishes.

Congratulations! 🙌I'm so happy to hear that you are doing well!🙌

I had originally thought my surgery date would be Monday, 4/11, but clearly THAT is not going to happen. I'm waiting to hear from the surgeon's admin as to where I am in this process. I'm seriously thinking of becoming a mid-june surgery at this point and doing it right after the last day of school. Obviously, I'm not going to have spring break to recover. Oh well.

Please keep me posted on your journey. and congrats again!

I just had mine on the fifth. Only second day, but still sore. Doing better walking. Doing well with the liquid diet so far. Looking forward to the pureed diet. [emoji16][emoji171][emoji171][emoji171][emoji108][emoji106][emoji7]
