Hi Shae. I was sleeved on 10/18 and experiencing the same sensation as you are. I'm still trying to figure out whats causing it b/c it doesn't happen all the time. Can't wait to have more feedback. Thx for starting this string.

Hi Daisy Rose Congrats! I'm just 9 days post opt and what helped me was reading this forum, talking to others, and the pre-op diet. I do want to tell you, and this my opinion only, that although I knew what to expect, I was unrealistic in my expectations. I can tell you though that I can watch the food Network all day long and nothing phases me. That's amazing.

I was sleeved on 10/18 and have had the same difficulty and still do but it gets better every day. What's helped me is hugging a pillow to my stomach, giving support. A binder might help to.

Hi you guys. I had my sleeve by 9am on 10/18 and after surgery had the thought of this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever done but I'm beyond that now. Having difficulty getting everything in but doing better. I have sharp pains that make it difficult to walk and move. I'm also getting a weird strong hunger pain in my stomach and trying to decide if that's its way of saying - hey kc -ur full. Glad to hear everyone is doing well.

Hi there. What I've done is take the total servings and divide by the number of shakes per day. Pure Protein, there are 24 servings so that would last you 8 days and give you 69g protein. nectar, there are 36 servings so that would last you 12 days and give you 69g protein.

So I started my pre-op diet today. Its 4-5 shakes plus 1 meat/2veg meal. I have an EGD tomorrow so no meal today and its difficult when traveling. I've found Pure Protein and nectar to be fairly well tasting. Hows everyone doing that's been sleeved?

Hi y'all. I'm scheduled for 10/18 at Forest Park Medical Center in Dallas by Dr. Nick Nicholson. Let's get this October party started!

WOOT WOOT!! I'm scheduled for 10/18

Hi everyone. I just got approved Wednesday and will have a surgery date on 9/13. So, while I've been waiting on things, I've decided to start a mini pre-op diet of 2 Protein shakes and a meal per day (5days a week). While I've been dropping 1 to 1 1/2lb per day, I've been feeling really fuzzy by mid afternoon along with headaches. While I mostly understand why this is happening right now, I can't continue to feel like this forever. Will this continue to happen after surgery? While I'm feeling upbeat about everything, I'm really worried about this. Of course, I will bring this up with my dr on Tuesday but I wanted to get others feedback. I appreciate any insight or optimism about this.

I told my parents and now my mom has told the world. The other thing is my mom didn't listen when I told her which procedure b/c she's told everyone I was doing the bypass, which freaked people out. Luckily, I've had an opportunity to talk to them about it and show them I've done my research. Now, my mom is wanting to help me out. Gotta love 'em.

Joining the ranks. October surgery with Dr. Nick.

Hi y'all. I just found out I was approved today so surgery will be sometime in October. Super excited and ready.

Got approved!

Hi everyone. So I'm still in the pre-op stage hoping to have surgery in October so I'm looking at different Protein drinks. My health conscientious bf is highly recommending these Boathouse drinks that have veg/fruits and provide great nutrients. The protein is a good number but the all natural sugar is between 25 & 30gr. I'm going to contact my NUT but wanted to get y'alls opinions on this.
