I got my surgery date for the sleeve for December 22, 2021 in Sebastian, Florida. Let's get through the pre stuff together.

Check out your other post. There was some really great advice in there.

I have heard of a few people that do it on here but I am not positive whether they asked their team to make sure it was wise. I would be very worried that it would make me overeat. I definitely would not do it real early our when portion size should be so tiny.

I am rite with you in that, realizing how addictive food is to me ! I have no hunger but think I need to eat! One day at a time!! I did this to be successfully , no turning back!

I did my surgery 13/12/2021, It’s post op day 6 now. Every time, I try to sleep, I get hiccups, nausea and stomach growling over the night so I try to sleep in semi sitting positioning. is there any recommendations for other comfortable positioning to sleep?!

My pre op diet was similar- 2 meals of protein shakes, dinner 4oz of meat with a half cup o non-starch veggies....I know it's what the surgeon says to do but SOoo many others talk about going full clear liquid at least the last day or 2. My surgery is supposed to be Dec. 20th (1 more day of prep) and I'm a bit torn. Per the surgeon I'm just supposed to switch it around and ha e the meat and veggies for breakfast the day before surgery, then the protien shakes for lunch and dinner and nothing at all after midnight. Then post op. Im supposed to start pureed food on like day 3 after surgery. My own instincts here are to do only liquids tomorrow, only CLEAR liquids after 5pm, then post surgery liquids up through at LEAST day 7....I don't know about going outside of what's recommended tho...

Had my bypass 5 days ago. Struggling to drink and eat cause I am really not craving anything but pushing through! Good luck to everyone who’s having their surgeries done this month!

I had my surgery done dec 8th & im currently on stage 3 pureed foods.

Congratulations on your surgery! What you are experiencing is normal, but it's still unpleasant. Try different temperatures of water (I had to keep mine super cold), flavor packets, hot decaf/herbal tea or coffee, broth from different soups, etc. Also, I found I drank more when I kept a bottle of water in my hand or right next to me. Good luck!

Thanks for this post...I am starting my pre op diet in about 2 weeks and I am worried about it. I can have shakes or small meals of protein and veggies. I'm going to try 2 shakes and 2 meals to begin and for the last few days go with all shakes to make sure my liver has shrunk. Keeping my fingers crossed I have the same experience.
