So sorry that your surgery was postponed.

I'm 3 days out, and managed to roll over on my side for a few minutes... Prop yourself with a pillow as you roll over.

My usual water additives I find are giving me heartburn. Any other ideas? I'm two days out and don't really care for plain water.

I just had surgery yesterday and in hospital still.... We need to stay in touch with one another's progress and journey...

Do they give you anything for gas while in the hospital?

Happy Birthday!

Folks, by this time tomorrow surgery will be over... I'm excited and scared! In 10 days I've only managed to lose one pound on the preop diet, which is very disappointing, but I never went hungry. Everyone say a prayer for me tonight. I have to be at the hospital tomorrow at 6 am. I will post as soon as I'm able. Thanks everyone. I've learned so much on here...

This was very tough to read when my surgery is next week... Makes me start doubting my decision again.

Congratulations! Get mine next Friday...

Hoping I never need a revision

Thanks for sharing your story Dub

Just saw that my healthy request cream of chicken soup has 750 mg of sodium... Whew... That's my favorite too on this diet

Good idea but not putting any extra salt on anything

I know the reason for my 10 day liquid diet is to shrink my liver, not to lose weight, but was hoping I would shed some pounds in the process. I'm on day 4, and have actually gained 1 pound. Now scared this is way it will be after surgery...

Welcome. This site has been so helpful to me. I will be sleeved on October 30th

Congrats! You look great!

I'll be having my surgery the day before Halloween. I'll be on the liquids still, but will miss the candy bars

Thanks for all the support

I'm feeling really tired and sleepy today at work, but hanging in there

I started my ten day liquid preop diet today. Feeling really tired at work and sleepy. Missing caffeine I guess. Help me make it through these first few days...

I've struggled most of my entire life with both depression and anxiety. I'm having problems with some depression issues now and panic attacks have begun due to the upcoming surgery. I started therapy and bought a really good book also. If you want to pm me we can chat

Welcome! Glad you are doing well. Keep us posted on your progress. I'm having the sleeve on Oct 30th.

Thinking of you... You've been through a lot

I'm on for the sleeve October 30
