Surgery tomorrow at 1030am

Surgery on Tuesday and starting my 5 day liquids. I'm starting to get scared.

I went home the same day. So far so good. No gas. No nausea. I've been walking around the house and drinking liquid. I think I will stop pain meds tomorrow. On a 1-10 scale my pain is at a 2. I feel so blessed right now.

Finally getting to closer. Got INS approval today. Pre op visit next Thursday. Come on surgery date! Lol/ by the way, gonna be an October sleeved but always a September sleeved girl! ????

I'm done! I did it!! Had the surgery 9/21. Feel sore, but so glad I did this. Awesome feeling of accomplishment! Now, if I could just eat this jello.....

I am slowly getting there
Eating and drinking little bit little. I actually have 7 openings and to d at I accidentally ripped one of my pump switched

Sorry it has been awhile since I have popped in here. The facebook group keeps me busy.
I am officially 15 days post op. On purees (2 more weeks to go) and overall doing great. Tummy is still a little bit tender but I figure that is par for the course. I am down 12lbs since surgery. I am doing a pretty decent job of hitting my water and protein intake, Eating all my vitamins and itching to get back into the gym (Dr. said one more week and to ease into it).
Hope everyone is doing great!!

glad too hear that your doing great... I'll be on the bench soon

Still hanging in there. Lol. Gonna be an October sleeved most apparently. But that's OK. Maybe for some reason just needs to be. Plus my mother is having a very difficult surgery again this coming Tuesday, so meant to be. ☺

My surgery is Monday and I'm nervous and excited.

Radar I would say. Alot of mixed emotions anytime surgery involved. But you're at the finish line almost! I'm awaiting a date myself. Should be getting possibly scheduled for pre op sometime in next week. Then a 10 day liquid diet.

Good Luck Radar

I am coming up on 3 weeks post op. I have not had a problem eating foods, but really stick to my soups, protein shakes and water, water, water.
Next week I can begin puree foods which will be heavenly.
My biggest problem is gauging how much is just right. I always seem to take a spoon or two too much.
Typically I find a pound a day gone.

Hope your doing better now Michael!! Keep us posted.. God Bless

Happy to know your doing better;)

Happy to know your doing better;)

2 days post op... Recovery has been difficult to say the least bit I'm doing better now. Glad the nausea is finally subsiding. How are you other this week sleevers doing?
