Being a diabetic before surgery, I was told clear Rum is the best for calories and carbs, and I generally drink it with Crystal Light. Be very careful and be safe when drinking, as it affects you differently than before surgery.

SO I learned a valuable lesson last night, I cant apparently eat a chicken breast over a half hour sitting. And KFC so does NOT agree with me!! I was up all night sick to my stomach!! So glad today is a new day!! And definitely learned my lesson!!

I am not on any blood thinners...

Hi everyone!! Hope everyone is doing well?? I will be 6 weeks out from surgery on July 14, and I am finding that I am bruising very easily. I have bruises that I have no idea where they came from. Has anyone else experienced this? Something may be I should let my doctor know before I see him on Monday, just in case they need to do blood work?

How are all the June 2 sleevers doing now almost 3 weeks out?

Im feeling great!! I feel so blessed to have no complications, no nausea or vomitting, just a bit of heartburn, but started to take the Prilosec the doctor prescribed. And still a bit of pain, kind of like a pulled muscle feeling where they took my stomach out. Hows everyone else doing? Getting your Protein in? Fluids in? Walking? Ready to do more??

Hi all!! I will be 3 weeks post op on Tuesday and I am down 33lbs already!! 50lbs from my heaviest!! Quick question though, my muscle is still really sore. It feels like a pulled muscle especially when I move a certain way. Is this normal or am I over doing something??

My surgery went wonderful!! So glad it's done and over! Now onto the recovery stage!! How did everyone else's go??

No redness, nor is it hot to the touch and it's not draining anything. Spoke with my drs office they recommended icing it and made an appt for me on Monday

Hi I was sleeved June 2 so 4 day post op, and where they cut my abdominal muscle to remove the stomach is extremely swollen. It looks like a softball on my belly, and extremely painful. Is this normal? Anything I can do??

So I had surgery June 2 and after trying to find a 24 hr pharmacy I finally made it home last night! I have an amazing surgeon that prayed with me before going in, which touched my heart! Doing great so far, thankfully no nausea, just some gas pain that walking is helping with. The incision into my muscle is what is hurting the most though. So just taking it one day at a time!

Only 2 days to go! Starting the all liquids today!! So ready for it to be done!! Can't wait!#

Hi I am all set for June 2 as well!! Getting nervous, but so ready for it to be here and done already lol Good luck to everyone, I am looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!!

I just got my Pre-Op instructions for my surgery on Tuesday June 2, and I was told it was ok to shower regularly the morning or evening before, and was told that it was ok to wear deodorant the day of surgery. Just no lotions or perfumes. Is it maybe surgeons preference??

I'm June 2 as well!! Can't believe it's just around the corner!! Good luck to you!!

I've found that chewing sugar free gum seems to help

I'm 1 week in and I've lost 8lbs, I think it's actually a little more since it is my Tom.

Hi I'm am scheduled for surgery June 2 and am on my 5th day of my pre-op diet and doing really well. The only problem I'm having, is with the Protein Shakes and the 64 oz of Water every day I am having to pee all the time!! Like every 15-20 minutes I've gotta pee so bad my eyes water! I'm spreading all of my Fluid intake over the whole day. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on how to make this better??

I am on day 4 as well, but I am not completely on a liquid diet. I also am being sleeved June2! I cant wait!! Hope the rest of your time goes well and that surgery does too!!

I'm scheduled June 2 and the reality of it all is definitely hitting! But I am so ready to start this new chapter in my life!

Yay! It will be here before you know it!! Would love to stay in touch and see how things go!!

Very good to know!! Thank you for posting! I'll be having my surgery June 2 so that was helpful!!

Thank you!!

Thanks for posting this! I'm scheduled for surgery in just over 2wks so very helpful!!
