Hi, I was sleeved August 17th!

1. For Breakfast I'll have 1 apple with some Peanut Butter or egg and sausage. lunch is either a 3 inch subway (which I can't finish) if I am on the go or if I had time to prep meal I will have chicken or tilapia or salad. dinner is usually another type of chicken, I rarely eat red meat. I'll have Snacks like jicama, cucumbers or nut bar.

2. I just started a Fit Camp in the park and I love it. I have a lot more energy and have not experience any pain or nausea

3. I am down 85 lbs

Oh ok, thank you.

Well I am almost 5 months post op.

PPI? I don't even know what that stands for lol. I had medications after but that only lasted for about a month post op.

Does anyone else have bad heartburn? It started all after surgery and no matter what I eat I get heartburn EVERYDAY!!! What else can I do besides chewing Tums.

Sleeved on August 17th

Started at 300 and I am now 234 so down 66 pounds

I am about 5 months out with 66lbs lost and I have not lost any hair.< /p>

I get to have cereal at 4weeks post op and I am so looking forward to that.

Blessings go out to our Aug 17th sleevers for tomorrow' date=' I had the great pleasure of meeting Helga and Dominique today for a bit, you each will do great....May the surgeons be blessed and the staff with each of you sleevers going tomorrow.....have a speedy recovery and your next up on the losing side

Thank you!! I am so excited and nervous that I can't sleep. It's 2am and I am wide awake.

Day 9 of my pre-op and I've lost 10lbs so far!!! I am feeling great and I am so grateful to have such great parents and co-workers that are being supportive. I get surgery this Friday and I can't wait. I am so excited to have found this website so that we can share this experience together. Good luck to all you August sleevers!!

Hey I am an August sleever. I'll be having surgery this Friday the 17th with dr. verboonen in Mexico.

Yes its normal to ask for a deposit. I am having surgery next week in Mexico and I had to give a $600 deposit.

For those of you that had surgery at the Obesity Goodbye Center, how is the room you stay in? My mom is staying with me and I want to know what is available for her to sleep in.

On on day 4 of my pre-op diet and I've already lost 7 pounds

Let us know how that gum works

Yes I am glad I get cottage cheese and the sugar-free Jello is my go to snack.< /p>

My diet is Protein Shakes, non fat cottage cheese, broth and sugar free Jello. Thats all I can have

OK so has anyone else had this problem. I am drinking a lot of Water but for some reason my mouth and throat is very dry. Any recommendations?

This pre-op diet is for our own good so that our liver can shrink. My doctor told me our liver sits on top of our stomach so if we don't do the pre-op then the doctor is too focused on lifting the liver in order to get to the stomach and now doesn't have all his attention on the stomach. He said the instruments they use are small and they can poke the liver if its too heavy to lift. Knowing this information, I started my pre-op diet 2 days before I was supposed to. Either way, you can always start fresh on your next meal. Good luck!

Sweet! We have the same surgery date Can't wait to share our progress.

Alright so good news!!!...I am starting to feel much better, YEY! The headache is gone and as the day progresses I am feeling good. So there is hope

I am drinking the EAS shakes that are ready to drink since its much more convenient. I am also having sugar-free Jello, chicken broth or non-fat cottage cheese if I get hungry.

Actually I don't drink coffee or soda...at all so I am sure it could be worst but knowing that in a few days I will feel better is helping me get through this.

Thanks Sleeve Master. I did eat a lot of carbs before starting the pre-op diet. I am just trying to get through these first few days.

Newbie, I will let you know how everything goes. You can also follow me on www.youtube.com/sleevedviv
