I am so sorry you are dealing with gas pains. That is no fun. It took a few days for the gas pains to go away. I lived on Gas x and Pepcid and did lots of walking! I can always tell when it's time to take my Pepcid!!! I had to also take a lot of nausea medicine. I have a very sensitive stomach and I am prone to nausea so that was my main issue after surgery. I actually had to go to the ER the day after surgery because I couldn't stop throwing up. Sandy has been great!!!

Congrats @"cjenkins74"!! Sounds like you're doing great!! Keep us posted!

Let me first start out saying congratulations on making a life changing choice. I myself was 500 lbs the day of my surgery. I was sleeved on June 18, 2014. I have already lost 140 lbs since.. It is the best thing anyone can do for themselves. Good luck from Alabama...

You are going to do awesome! I am so excited for you. I am a Dr. Nicholson patient too. I had my sleeve surgery two weeks ago (October 14th) and I feel great. My two week follow up appointment is Thursday afternoon at the Plano office. Let me know if you have any questions.

Good luck! Keep us updated! Sure you'll be fine!

Will be thinking about you tomorrow. Good luck and God bless.

Tomorrow!!! I am scared, nervous and excited!!!

I'm actually going to Barker Bariatrics. I considered Nicholson. When is your surgery? Hopefully January for me!

Day 3 done! Tomorrow we are going to dinner so I've planned out what I am eating, I know the restaurant the place and they accommodate my no butter request...should I take my food scale with me?

I am so thankful for my evening meal. Today I am having a lean beef patty and today I need it. I am struggling and ate some peanuts, they are on the list of foods I can have but I am not sure how many I can have. I had about 1/4 of a snack package. All the sweet bars and shakes are too much sweet for me.

That is a great idea! I am going to do that for my morning shakes as well.
I was told to eliminate the caffeine from my diet. Because it can cause dehydration. So I am drinking Decaf now. If you want to give me your email I'll email you what my nutritionist had to say about it.

Is anyone else starting their 2 week pre op diet today? I am had a Protein Shake for Breakfast and have bars for my Snacks. dinner is chicken and broccoli. What are you eating? Has anyone found any high Protein Soups that you like and want to share with me? I get tired of the sweet. Anything other tips are appreciated as well?

I got sleeved today! It all happened so fast! But, finally, it's done and over with. I'm in a lot of pain and very thirsty, but I'm sure it'll pass! Looking forward to the next steps in my journey!

They have worked something out with me. Yay!!! Come on 28!!! I'm ready!!!

Hi, I also started my pre op yesterday. Only drinking the shakes for now, will go buy some Soups and pudding later on today. One thing I am not sure if allowed or not is coffee/tea so I am still having one cup a day until maybe 3 days pre op. I need my caffeine. I am also including frozen strawberries and bananas to my Protein Shake in the morning since I figure I am burning those calories at work.

My surgery was Friday, October 10th. 2 days ago. Surgery was at 4:00pm. I came home yesterday at 3:00. Here's my schedule for last night until now at 10:00pm. Got home, drank Water, must sip!! Walked 10 minutes. Sat with the family. Took a pain pill at 9:30pm slept until 6 this morning. Got up at 6. Took Vitamin, drank water and broth (don't want to get dehydrated). It's uncomfortable, but possible. Went for a walk. Sat with family. Took a pill and napped. Woke up and went to the theater to see Dracula with a pillow to put over my stomach. Drank a glass of water during the movie. Afterwards, stopped at a restaurant, my mom had lunch and we listened to music. Not hungry at all. Came home at 2 and napped. Woke up, drank some more Protein Drink and water. sugar free Popsicles are the best. Went for a walk with the dog. Then went and rented two movies to watch with my mom. After this, will take a pill and go to bed for the night. Since last Monday, 7 days ago, I've lost 16 pounds. So thankful for this 2nd chance at getting my life together. No looking back.

All I had was vegetables Proteins drinks for 2 weeks

They have worked something out with me. Yay!!! Come on 28!!! I'm ready!!!

10/28 is my day!!!
