Thank you so much for that. Letting it get in my head and question if I should do this. You would do it again.

My husband is 100% supportive but I do get concerned that he really doesnt not undestand the magnitude of change making.

Congrats, sleeve surgery?

I am looking for informatad supporters going through same experience with sleeve surgery. I am pre op surgery date 7-10, freaking out a bit

That is just wonderful, so happy for you!

I am having in few weeks, if cannot get shake down what are you eating or should I say drinking then? What if any other issues r things are you experiecning first 9 days?

Would you do it again? The more I read about not even being able to get a protien shake down first few weeks, how do you get Vitamins and liquids down then? I am getting real scared

That is wonderful that you are able to have now.

I live in Carlsbad and havng surgery July 10th also looking for others to meet with experiencing same things

Not sure why liquid diet varies so much, mine is only five days prior to surgey.

Hi, my name is Tracey and I have spent the last year researching and getting ready to have sleeve weight loss surgery. My surgery is scheduled for July 10th. I am excited, nervous and scared. I have only told my husband and very close friend that I am doing this. (My closet is freind has been nothing but unsupportive, she makesme question my decision) Several monoths ago when I was deciding if wanted to have this surgery I mentioned to some friends, a co-worker and family and recieved nothing but non supportive responses from "why odont you just diet and exercise, change your life syle and be healther, this is to extreme and trying to take easy way out (I do not think choosing to have sleeve and having 3/4 stomach removed and getting ready to put my body and mind through many diffucult situations for the first several months as I learn to live with sleeve the easy was out) to you are not fat enough and OMG you are removing part of stomach that is just stupid and going to cause nothing but issues rest of life. Then all the negative comments about how will never live a normal life again and having nothing but problems (pain, never eat normal, nauseau, vomtting, pain, always sick. I expect some of these things in the begiining but am hopeful in time and as I learn to live with sleeve things will continually get better. It causes me great stress, anxiety and emotion not to be able to share with close family and friends. Any advice as how to move forward with this.

That is great. I just have not shared with many friends and family as when in past even mentioned weight loss surgery many non supporters.

I do not know but would think it was dasy 1 surgery date. How do you just a couple days after surgery?

I feel the same way. Congrats!

I am having surgery July 10th and I am excted but relly nervous and scared. Looking for people to share and go thrugh this journey with. So many questions.

I am having surgery 7/10, I am excited but also scared and nervous, you?

Cheers! I am having surgery on 10th of July. Are you nervous?

Hi I am scheduled for surgery on July 10th. I am excited but very nervous and even a bit scared. Even though I have done all requirements for surgery and lots of research and read tons of information on this surgery I still have many questions. So I wanted to ask those who are going to have the actusl and true answers since you have experienced this surgery. Would you do it again knowing all you know and what you have experienced? I know first few weeks liquids and protien shakes but can you eat real food again? What are biggest highs and what are worse things? Can you drink alcohol again once recovered and havre been on this new journey for awhile? Thank you for any knowedge and support. I need some friends who are or have gone through same thingI am going to do.
