Good luck!

Six for me too

Awesome, thanks so much

I googled this, but want to be extra sure. I'm in full liquid phase, was sleeved on 5/29. Is vitamin water zero caffeine and carbonation free?

8 days post op and I am at the beach for a quick (pre planned and paid for before surgery was scheduled) weekend trip. Vacation time used to be a no holds barred let's see how much I can eat type of thing. Went to Pi-zerria tonight and they ate while I sipped a protein shake. It wasn't too bad. I just kept thinking of how good I will look when we come back next year! Pizza is one of my favs and it did smell soooo yummy! Everyone saying how stuffed they are uncomfortable, but I feel great!

I burp a lot more than I used to. 8 days post op so I have not had any food like that yet, but my stomach has made one or two funny sounds. Pretty sure it's very normal

I had my sleeve done one week ago today. I did fine! Good luck! Walk around the hospital as soon as you feel up to it, it really does help.

I had 2 csections as well. My last one was 9 years ago. I think the sleeve is a little worse, but that may be because I am 9 years older

Sleeved on Wednesday the 29th. I feel great, just a little sore. No nausea, no throwing up, nothing. Been off pain meds for a while. Been walking, shopping, doing laundry, dishes, etc. Keep moving; I think that is the key! good luck!

Any suggestions on an app to track protein/water intake? Thanks! 4 days post op and want to be sure I'm getting everything in

Isn't it awesome?

Thanks everyone! Just signed up

Sleeved on Wednesday the 29th, taking it one day at a time. Trying to get my liquids in but it is very difficult. I do not have any desire to eat or drink anything, except sugar free Popsicles; they have been a lifesaver!

On my way to the hospital now! Excited! I can't wait to be a loser!

Getting sleeved on Wednesday the 29th! I'm excited and can't wait to start my new life. I am a little anxious though, but I know it will be all worth it.

You guys can do it! I'm on day 6 today. I know it sounds hard to believe, I snickered when I read other people say this, but after day 1 it really does get easier. I am allowed 3-5 protein shakes a day, that's it. I was nervous about that and wondered how in the world I would do that! But you have to think of the end result! It's all mental! Put your mind to it and you can do it!

On day 4 of my protein shake only pre op diet. I'm doing well; better than I thought I would. Each time I think about how hard this is, or I get a little grouchy because I love food and I want to eat, I look at a picture of myself I don't like to remind myself why I am doing this. It has helped me a lot! I have had a lot more head hunger than actual hunger and it does get easier as the days go on.

So great to read this as I am on my 4th day of pre op very strict liquid diet. I know this will be so worth it!

Thanks, royalsecret. I just got an email saying that my packet is being sent today! I hope I hear something soon!

Hey everybody! I have UHC. My coordinator should have submitted everything yesterday. I emailed her and asked if she did, no answser back yet. So I am in limbo I guess. I didn't think about calling UHC and seeing if they have it. I will have to give it a try!

I am new to the forum, so first of all, hello to all. I have done all of my required pre-surgery appointments. So now it is a waiting game to get approval from my insurance company, UHC. WIsh me luck!

Thanks everyone. I just heard from my coordinator and she said because I don't have 5 CONSECUTIVE years of weight history, it is not looking too good for me. She said UHC is picky about having the years being consecutive. I have as far back as '03 but don't have consecutive years
