    ANewBeginning15 reacted to DIESELD47 in June Sleevers!   
    June 23rd for me. Was supposed to start my liquid diet (all shakes, diet sodas, sugar free popsicles and broth) on 6-15 but decided to start yesterday so I wouldn't have to think about work and the new diet at the same time. I got a bit weak yesterday afternoon but it hasn't been bad at all. Getting rid of my Water (about 5 pounds so far) has been a bit irritating going to the 'tinkler' so often but otherwise, I'm rather surprised that I haven't been hungry. I'll start on Clear Liquids on the 22nd and can drink up to 5 AM on the day of surgery. Hubby's on the liquid diet also.

    Good luck! Sounds like you have figured out how to support yourself with this big step and you'll always have the BP folks like us to support you.

    I've never been a caffeine drinker so that's not the problem. And Tylenol doesn't give any relief. I guess I'll just chalk this up to the transition that my body is going through and hope this doesn't last too much longer.

    I too felt better the day after surgery, in fact as soon as u got up and walked, and the Water thing is also hard for me since I love water, just trying to sip is a big adjustment, still very sleepy though I want to try to stay awake tomorrow, the pain isn't as bad as I thought it would be, I will try to go get the mail tomorrow for some walking, can't wait to go back to the gym!!!!!

    Its crazy to me that so many people feel they can comment on other people's decisions. Maybe its just the people I know or because the area I live in, but no one has said anything but positives to me. Even strangers.

    I previously had a lap-band and had so many complications I decided to get it removed and get the sleeve done instead. I have had so many comments on losing weight the "cheating" way and why can't you just diet and exercise the weight off! If that worked all by itself I would have been thin years ago. I just got tired of the comments and so I chose to tell only my one friend that recommended the surgeon. My husband and mother think I got the band out and that is all. I choose to be happy without the drama ????????

    My surgery is In less than two days, and the only people to know are my husband and adult children. They are all extremely supportive and I feel I don't need anything from anywhere else. I've been yoyo dieting for years so it doesn't matter to me what others observe. This is something I'm doing for me, and for my future. My son was recently married and there was a table set up at the wedding in memory of people that were loved and lost. I swear I will do everything in my power to dance with my grand babies when they grow up and get married. I will not be a photo on a table. So I don't need two cents from anyone unless they plan to be right there beside me.

    I have only told 3 people, my husband, best friend, and a close friend. I told my mom today that I was having surgery, she immediately thought I was having a hysterectomy. She went on for about 45 minutes straight, no joke. About how I should not have the surgery and it will ruin me so on and so forth. I finally told her that I was not having a hysterectomy and she said why did you let me go on that long. Lmbo... when it comes to surgeries she is a Debbie downer. I have been in health care for over 15 years so I'm really comfortable with the medical field and the research I conduct.

    Wow, lots of new people getting sleeved this month. Good luck to all of you and wishing you fast recoveries.
    This last Monday I had the cardiac clearance then Tuesday I had the psych eval, nutritionist and then the preop class. And to day I had the EGD. After I woke up from the EGD the first thing I asked the nurse was if I had a hernia and she said no. OMG!! I immediately started crying. I cried for about 5-10 minutes thinking what am I gonna do now? How can I afford to do this without the help of getting the hernia repair paid by insurance. Then the doctor walked by a couple of times and then he asked me is the anesthesia getting to you? I said no, the nurse told me I didn't have a hernia! He said, yes you do, you had a big one, here's the picture of it. The nurse had misunderstood what I had asked!! Thank God I had one!! lol
    I started my pre op diet yesterday and will have surgery 06/24. It is starting to get very real now and I am so excited!!

    Thanks for the tips! I'm going to get this surgery over with and focus on getting healthy for a while. I don't think I have the emotional energy for dating at the moment but I definitely agree with your point about daily showers...for both genders!

    hi, im feeling better this morning happy to be home in my own bed. The gas pains are minimal i feel them and hear the gas racing around my stomach but no pain from them. I can definitely tell when the pain meds are wearing off. I am happy to be on pureed although i cant eat that much it was hearty. Still sticking with my broths. They are heaven warm & hearty. Been working on my Protein Shakes as welln& Water. I got a lecture from my surgical team about dehydration and i dont want that. Hope things are good with you, relaxing, healing & resting at home.

    I am doing well. The gas pains haven't been too bad until today. Still not overly painful but I think it's all trying to escape now. We have been taking lots of walks. My two year old just bumped my side with his knee and that hurt. Poor thing didn't mean to. Other than that I am just trying to get Water and Protein Shakes down. When do you go home?

    ANewBeginning15 got a reaction from ohjul in 2 week liquid pre-op diet   
    Hello,
    I'm also on day 3 of the 2 week liquid diet. I was struggling the first 2 days. Today is a little better and I don't have the headache anymore. Yes, I'm hungry, but it's tolerable. I couldn't wait to get this liquid diet started, but honestly, I didn't expect it to be quite the challenge that it turned out to be. But I think it will make it easier to adjust to the new dietary lifestyle after the surgery. It won't be quite as drastic of a change.
    They are allowing me to have smoothies, creamy Soup, juice, SF pudding, yogurt without chunks, things that can be drunk through a straw. Seems a little less restrictive than what some of you are talking about.

    Hello! I've been approved for surgery and I'm scheduled for surgery in Houston on June 19th. I haven't told anyone about this surgery. I've kept it private, which I'm sure I'll be happy abut in the long run,but for now that means I don't have a sounding board. I Also need a hernia repaired, which makes for a good cover. I'm ready to get this over with. I know it's what I need to do, but I feel nervous and a little alone. I have 2 kids and I'm divorced. I don't want them to worry about me. Well, thanks for reading this
