Surgery was 12/18
From what i read on here stalls are completely normal and you shouldn't stress it. I know we all want to see losses and i feel your frustration just embrace it and keep moving forward.

PreOp weight loss?
My surgeon did not ask me to lose any weight on pre op diet. He put me on all liquid diet for 2 weeks to shrink my liver it wasn't that bad and i managed to lose over 30lbs in 2 weeks. I was so stoked going into surgery with that kind of loss it took me out of the 5's and into 4's!

Tattoos & Piercings
i was worried about my tattoo also i am fully sleeved but at the end of the day my health outweighed what my tattoos will look like. Before surgery i took out all my piercings. both nostrils,nipples, and genitals and just put them back in a few hours after my surgery.

Tomorrow is the day
Had my surgery last week and its easy. The worst part of it for me was coming out on anesthesia. Just make sure you start walking when you get back to your room and do it often it will help with the gassy bloated feeling. You got this!! Best of luck!!

I e read on here a lot of people pot op having problems with there intake of protein and or liquids. I was sleeved on the 30th and ism having no problems with anything. Today I had 1 and 1/2 cans of cream of chicken soup strained and made with water. I've had 2 and a 1/2 protein shakes about 80grams and been sipping water all day. Not once have I felt nauseas or thrown up. I sip and take everything slow is this normal to have no issues? Am I taking I. Too much food? Just curious.

Today was big day!
Thanks everyone. I started my clear liquids today been going nice and slow as directed. 4oz an hour with medicine cup pretty much sipping an ounce every 15min. After the first 4oz i felt a little bloated but I guess that's normal. Been walking a lot trying to get rid of this gas.

Today was big day!
Reported to hospital at 530am for 730am surgery got weighted in and lost 32lbs on my pre op diet. I was way stoked to say the least. Surgery went well and I woke up with nausea and very loopy. I got to my room at noon and I instantly was up walking Laps to get this gassy feeling out. I've been doing a dozen Laps an hour and feeling really good minus a little discomfort. Pain level is around a 3-4 out of 10. Gonna go watch tv and return texts excited for tomorrow and trying Clear liquids. Cheers everyone!

How to tell family/friends?
i go in on the 30th and Ive told all my friends and family. Everyone has been so supportive of my decision. My mom is getting sleeved on January 4th and she's the complete opposite. Only my brother and I know about it. I guess its all comes down to personal choice. I am very open so i have no problem telling anyone.
