Hi! I was sleeved 8/2. I'm feeling okay minus soreness, headaches, and my throat is super sore from the tube. I'm doing good with Fluid intake. I'm not hungry but boy would I love to chew. All I'm craving is scrambled eggs with cheese and/ or chicken. Ha! Head hunger is too real. How's everyone doing in their first couple of weeks? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Currently in the hospital today! Had my surgery at 1 pm yesterday. I've had to drink but it burns my tummy Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

One day post op. It's not "hard" to swallow. It's just every single Fluid burns my tummy and going down. Ugh! Is this normal!? Y'all gas pain are no freaking joke. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Tomorrow is my surgery day. I'm feeling a lot. I'm so excited. I'm so ready to change my life. But I'm also terrified of complications, infection, death... and the usual stuff. My husband is taking me. And we have a two year old son who is our heartbeat. He's a major reason I'm doing this. I want to be so healthy for him. so I can play harder and lead by example. I have battled obesity since 2nd grade. In the midst of really healthy parents and siblings. I've been obese. I have PCOS, uncontrolled type two diabetes, and high blood pressure is creeping in... Oh I'm 24. I know this Vsg is my tool. It's all I have left. I've done and tried everything. Of course I have emotional connection to food, but, I do feel like my body has never told me "no" before and it finally will. I never feel full and keep eating so I know this tool is right for me. I'm having surgery at Emory John's Creek in Alpharetta Ga with Dr. Khan. Please send good vibes or pray for the surgery and my healing and the surgeons hands. HW: 274 CW: 264 GW: 160 or just... Healthy. I can do this I can do this I can do this. I backed out once. Today is all liquids. It's the only pre op diet I have. I just don't want any complications. Thanks for reading. Here we go. I don't think I'll stop thinking about it today. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What did your eating schedule look like your first week on Clear liquids? And your second week on liquids / puréed food? Trying to get an idea. My surgeon doesn't have specific requirements as a schedule. Wanted to get your ideas. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Anyone have a cold pre op? Was everything okay? Not feeling 100%. Just scratchy throat and congested. Will it be okay? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Tell me your experience. I have type 2 diabetes and its uncontrolled hence a major reason all of my doctors are pushing this surgery. I am ready. But I wanted to know what your recovery was like. And how you healed. I am 24 years old. CW: 268 Type 2 diabetic A1c: 10 PCOS Any input helps.

What is the best liquid to mix with Protein shakes besides Water? Unsweetened almond milk? Want input please!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have my surgery 8/2. Running to store. Any essentials I need?! First week is Clear liquids. Second week is liquids (Protein shakes, etc.) Then I'll shop again. Was going to get sf Jello, chicken broth, veggie broth, Vitamin Water zero, Gatorade zero, crystal light but need more suggestions or variety! Second week: Premier Protein, SF apple sauce, sf pudding, but need more suggestion and variety also! I have unflavored protein for first week. I also have gas ex strips. And I don't start Vitamins till third week. I backed out round one but this time... I'm IN! Any other essentials? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm defiantly afraid of the surgery and the pain. But most of all... Failing. I do not want to fail. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I would like to know this too Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi. I was supposed to be sleeve on June 7th. But didn't follow through. I've regretted it. But I was so scared. So 100% on board then backed out. Now, I've called back and rescheduled. I'm still scared but feel so lost and feel like I can't do this on my own. CW: 268 Diabetic type 2 PCOS Mom of a two year old I feel like I need this. But so fearful.

A1c is 10.5 and blood sugar was 300 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Anyone's surgeon operate regardless of blood sugar levels/ a1c? Had my pre op today and levels were very very high. I'm afraid they'll cancel. Apart of the reason I'm getting sleeved is to help with my blood sugar spikes. I'm trying to avoid insulin as is my PCP. Haven't been on medication this week as I've run out. My surgery is Tuesday. Will they post pone? Did your surgeon not post pone? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

When were y'all cleared to swim post gastric sleeve operation? I'm a nanny/ have a two year old. They are all swimmers. Just wanting to get your thoughts (and am talking to surgeon Monday) about your clearence to swim. Surgery is 6/7! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Tuesday 6/7 is my surgery day. I'm starting to get anxious. I've been working through my emotional eating and the whys and ins and outs. I've been in counseling for the last two years. I've noticed how MUCH I put food in my mouth and how food is such a clutch and "friend" to me. It has been my whole life. I'm also so READY and so excited for this surgery and can't wait to see results and finally have this tool. It's the last resort. I've done everything. I'm 24. I have a two year old. I'm in school full time and work full time. I have 9 days off. I'm anxious about recovery. The physical and the emotional and mental aspect. I'm also diabetic and need this surgery to get my diabetes under control. Please. Any encouragement? Any advice? Anything. I'm getting anxious. Two years ago I had a traumatic emergency surgery. It was terrible and scarring so I think that's a trigger. I have no pre op diet just a 24 hour. I've ordered unflavored Protein to put on Jello and in broth for first week. Any food addicts out there that have done really well? I cannot fail. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
