Day 3 post op for me. So far I can do small sips of clear liquids. Today I move to full liquids (protein shakes, soymilk, strained creamed low-fat soups). When does that awful feeling when the liquid hits your stomach go away? It feels like gas and your food are competing for the same space. Ouch!!

48 hours post op. At home taking it easy. Walking really helps so I'm taking laps around my house every time I get up. Haven't had anything but water,multivitamin, and calcium today. Forgot to weigh myself before surgery but since Thursday will be my weigh in days going forward I'm going to weigh myself today.

I'm not sleeved yet. Surgery on 2/26. Congrats! I hope my experience is similar to yours.

Congrats! We have the same surgery date 4 more days to go. Are you ready?

Quick update I gained 3 pounds by my authorization visit on 2/13 Got my surgery date the same day Did pre-adm testing, bootcamp, and final meeting with surgeon yesterday. I can't believe I started this process on 1/21 and will be sleeved on 2/26!

Congrats! How are you making out Lex?

Good luck and safe travels!

Nickey I'm getting sleeved on 2/26 by Dr O at AtlantiCare. Were you in PreAdm Testing and BootCamp yesterday?

12 days to go. Very excited! Good luck to all. I'll be looking for you all on the losers bench.

Does anyone have Feb. 26th for a surgery date? I just found out my date today. I'm soooo excited!

absolutely nothing

EXCITED EXCITED EXCITED! Surgery date is Feb 26th!!!

Where can I find sample packs? I'm pre-pre op lol but want to get everything set up well in advance including what I can tolerate tastewise.

What is dumping? Is the liquid in liquid out related to milk based Protein shakes only or any liquid intake?

I'm a 45 yr old mother of a 19 yr old daughter and 11 yr old son. I've just begun thus journey. Pre-PreOp is what I'm considering myself. No surgery date yet. Still working on meeting all my requirements. I've worked in the Human Resources field for most of my career. I'm a Taurus, a natural "encourager" or cheerleader. Huge football fan!

Awesome! How wonderful to have that level of support from your surgeon.

Good luck!!!! I'm a former runner looking to get back to a pre weight gain and pre ankle injury running status I understand where you are. Please be careful and don't push yourself too hard. You'll get there. I'll be cheering you on. Be sure to keep us posted on your progress.

Ok. My bmi was exactly 35 on Monday 1/21 when I met w/surgeon on Thurs 1/24 it was 34.9 at my 1st Nut appt. He told me I can't lose anymore weight or I won't get approved through my health insurance. Horizon BCBS-NJ. I'm anticipating a March surgery date so I'm nervous about dropping anymore weight before my authorization appt.

Thanks Tawnie. Did you have 3 days?

I've read 3 days for some sleevers and 2 weeks for others. Does anyone know why the difference in number of days?

Congrats and best of luck to you!

I'm in Galloway. No date yet. Just starting out and its a little stressful for me. How are you making out after your surgery?
