Hello everyone!
I came home Friday from the hospital, sleeved! Here are a few things I've noticed. First, it was super hard for me to drink liquids I think it had to do with the funky taste in my mouth. But, thank goodness for ice chips. I've also noticed that things are much sweeter than before surgery, ex. SF Popsicles. . I do not feel any hunger. I have to set timers to remind me to eat. I'm still in the liquid stage, it's going ok, have to eat slow or it does hurt, at least me it does. Things are moving along fine, haven't taken pain meds except at night. Starting to mix in Vitamins in my food. I also noticed with the I.v. I did gain Water weight. I noticed today I'm back where I was before I went in. Looking forward to this journey!

My surgery is tomorrow too! I have to be there at 8am. Have you done the two weeks liquid diet, and today Clear Liquids? I definitely understand, I would go crazy if I couldn't drink an You will probably add a couple hours to that once at the hospital? Good luck! This is such an exciting journey!

My new life begins at 8am tomorrow. I am beyond excited. This forum has been a God send. Can't wait to hear from you all on your new journey. Prayers all around!

Seems June 4th is a popular date! I'm having my sleeve done on this day as well. Started my two week pre-op diet on day 2. It's hasn't been that hard. 4shakes a day with up to 5 additional items like sf Jello, pudding, Soup and veggies. I realize just how much head hunger I really have! I am slightly nervous, but more excited on this journey for a healthy mind and Body! And it won't be bad to look as great as you feel! This is a very exciting time and I'm so ready to get it going!

Hello
Congrats on getting closer to your surgery day. I think the liquid diet before was one of the hardest things I have done. It's so hard because everyone around you is eating and all you can have is yucky Protein Shakes. Lol but I can say around day 5 for me was when things got so much easier. The two weeks really flew by. Before I knew it, it was surgery day. Get as much Protein in as you can now because after surgery will be a challenge. I am a month post op and I'm still trying to get all my protein in.
