This is my first day as well. The mire info you know going into it the better. From what I have been reading on here, many people hate the protein suppliments and arent getting enough fluids...those seem to be the most crucial parts of the recovery. Thankfully...i found a protein shake that i really love!

I hear ya on the hospital part! I want to get in and get out!

Well I have 10 days TOTAL from surgery day 3/22 including weekends. I really hope that I recover quickly! Let me know how it goes for you, also. Thanks!

Howdy:-) Ok so the big day is almost here...I haven't been nervous about it until now. Im 28...about 275 with no real medical problems and my surgery is on March 22nd. I just made the decision to go with the vertical sleeve vs the lap band. This is going to sound SILLY...but one of my real worries is how long it will be post op before i can return to my office job. I hate missing work but I have 10 days total off. Is there anyone out there that is/has been in a similar situation as mine? Thanks for any help...Im sure ill have more questions!

Hey guys! I started my preop diet on 3/12 and my sleeve surgery will be on March 22nd. I was totally committed to only liquids but became so hungry. My doc told me i could have very lean meats and sugar free jello. Thankfully, I love my protein shakes. They are Premier protein shakes...you can get them at sams or costco. Surgery is this Friday and I am super anxious! I really hope to find lots of support and comradery here.
