Hi everyone, I'm 18 days post op. Thanks Nicky6 I thought I was the only one who had similar symptoms. what I find works for me is to take my meds first, then wait a while then have one egg scrambled. I only get a few bites in, wait a while then have my fluids through out the day. for the evening I will have a few table spoons of cuppa Soup (chicken or veg), wait a while then go back to my fluids. that what I find works for me at the moment, I did have trouble in the beginning with trying to balance fluids and meals (soft foods ect). I do hope that you find what works for you luv. Xx :-)

Hi all, 7 days post op surgery date 3/11/16. I'm a side sleeper, had slept on the sofa when I came home from hospital and found it very difficult to get a good night's sleep. Tonight I'm going to try and sleep in my daughter's bed as my bed is too high and see how that goes. Xx

Hey guys, surgery tomorrow morning. Wishing everyone luck for their up coming surgery. See you all on the losing side. Xx

Not long to go go everyone! Those who are having surgery in the next couple of days, how are you feeling? I'm feeling a little nervous now, surgery date is the 3rd Nov. Good luck to everyone! Xx

Thanks for all the helpful advice on what to pack. Keeping it simple is the way to go! :-) Good luck too all going for surgery this week, praying all goes well. Xx

Is anyone staying only one night in hospital? I am and not sure what to pack. Good luck to all. Xx

Hi guys, not long to go for those having surgery this coming week. I'm only staying over for the night in hospital, and not sure what to pack. Any ideas? Xx

Hey there, on this page there are a lot of people who are here to support you and others alike. This us for you. No one can take this away from you, I'm new to this myself. My date is Nov 3rd, but if I can be of any help I'm all ears. :-)

Welcome luv, we're all here to support each other. Those at the beginning of the month like myself will be here to share with you all. :-)

Okay, it's different in the UK. All i had yesterday was a cup of hot chicken stock for breakfast as I didn't have any milk for shakes and 2 bottles of water. Then had steam stirfry veg and 2 cod fillets when 8 got home from the hospital. How did your pre op go. Did they swab you for MRSA?

I steam stir fry veg with the fish in a veg stock. Did they say why no veg?

I'm doing both, 2 shakes and chicken fillet or fish with veg for the evening meal. It's no too bad, but when someone passes by with a pizza...... sooooo hard! :-)

Yay Xombae! Sleeve buddies! How have you been coping with wedding and the pre op diet?

Sorry to hear you still have the headache, but it will pass. You only have 6 more days left, hang in there luv. Xx

Had my pre op assessment today, it was a long day appointment time was 12:35pm and I came out the hospital after 4pm. Had to wait a long time to see the pharmacist regarding my meds, they also took a swab for MRSA. I f I don't hear from them by Friday then all is well. How is everyone else doing? Xx

Did they say why you have to stay on shake for the pre op duration?

Good luck luv! once your comfortable please check in with us. :-)

Good luck luv! I'm Nov 3rd,how are you doing with the pre op diet?

Looking. Sorry.

Is anyone November 3rd? Liking for a sleeve mate. :-)

Hi guys, for all those going to have surgery first week of November you all will be in my thoughts. For those having to wait a little bit longer, you will have us all giving you 1st hand experience and advice. I will try and post something immediately after surgery if I can. Xx

Wow! How are you doing with the pre op diet?

Sorry to hear that you were really sick post op But thanks for the heads up, this is the sort of info we need so we know how to look after ourselves post op. Doctors can not tell you how you well be after surgery, but from the support on hear will be my of having that Sleeve family support. Thank you to everyone for not sugar coating your experiences. :-)

I got a booklet, for the pre op it had 3 options. 1st was food only, 2nd was shakes only, 3rd was both. I chose to do the 3rd option. But the evening meal has to be off the meal plan. Eg, fish with veg. No carbs at all.

Doing well, only on day 3. How was you on the 1st day post op?
