September 2023 Surgery buddies

[JonBlue 2]

Hello everyone!!

My surgery is schedule for 9/27. I'm very nervous and anxious already.

[Ranger Bear 5]

Just finishing day 1 of a 3 day liquid diet. Gastric bypass on 9/6. It was mostly okay. Had to break up the sweet clear Protein Drinks with chicken broth with unflavored Protein Powder.< /p>

Tomorrow’s the day! I’m scheduled for my gastric sleeve tomorrow (9/5) and I’m so ready. I’ve been on full liquids for two weeks and I have to say, it’s already been a journey. I can’t wait to see how this is going to change my life.

How are you feeling?

@NewTee2023 wow congratulations 🎊 how do you feel? Did you have gas pain? I’m scheduled for VSG 9/26 and I am nervous 😬 and excited 😊!

[NewTee2023 2]

Hi NettyD,

I am feeling much better now it's day 3. The first 12-18 hours were really hard. I was not prepared for the gas pain but I think mine was just bad as there was another lady who had the same procedure and did much better with the gas pain than I did. The nurses told me sometimes it's painful for some and other times, not so bad. Wishing yours is not so bad xx

@Sleeveme_Please Wishing all the best for tomorrow. First few hours were rough but I feel well enough now. I even went for a little walk outside today, just to get some fresh air. I have been sleepier than usual but I think it's my body needing to recover itself.

Excited for you xx

[NettyD 93]

I am so glad you’re feeling better! I’m afraid of the gas pain after surgery I’m trying to embrace myself for the pain. Are the pains worst than childbirth 😬😬? I had 3 kids

I hope you all are recovering well!! Don't rush into forcing the liquids down ♥ just do your best and hang in there!
