I should probably get it too.

Hey September Sleevers.... My surgery date was August 30th, so I'm almost right there with you guys!! How is everyone doing so far?? I'm two weeks post op today and I am really starting to feel good. share you surgery experiences, questions, and concerns here with your fellow September sleevers!!!

I would add that my surgeon doesn't like eggs in the soft food stage, not sure why.... I'm at a loss

My surgery date was 8/30 and I've notice in the past 48 hours how much better and more energetic I feel!!! I am having an issue getting in all of my protein and water... I am trying tho. I feel like I am in a stall already... Someone told me to do nothing but eggs, shakes, and water for a whole week and that will give me a boost. I am starting my workout regimen as well now that i am feeling better. I am loving and hating this all at the same time. Discourage and disappointed with my slow loss.

Having some upper abdominal pain and discomfort. Is this normal 6 days post op?

Ok guys my surgery was 8/30... everything went so well and my one week post op check up is Wednesday. I haven't been on in a couple days since I've been so out of it. My question is how long doe the incision pain lasts. Most of them are not too bad but the one at the very top of my tummy is the one worst... not complaining because I am so happy with my decision.. just wondering how long the pain lasts... thanks in advance

Less than 48 hours and I will be at the hospital prepping for my Sleeve. So nervous and excited.

I have heard amazing things about the patches. I think I am going to try them too.

I was advised to not take flinstone or children's vitamins, as they do not have enough of what a sleeved patient needs. Below is a link (for amazon) for the vitamins I am currently taking. They are chewable and not bad at all. I actually really like them. Been taking them for about two weeks now. https://www.amazon.com/Bariatric-Multi-Vitamin-Patients-ProCare-Health/dp/B007HB8EDK/ref=sr_1_7_a_it/132-3179088-1774116?ie=UTF8&qid=1503680088&sr=8-7&keywords=bariatric+vitamins

Thank you so much for the feedback. I have been on a liquid diet for almost two weeks, but have only lost around 5 pounds so far. I am terrified my liver hasn't shrank enough.

Hey all, my surgery is not until August 30th.... 5 days!!!! EEEEkkk!!!! But I am curious to know how my fellow August sleevers are doing. What are your experiences? What things did or did not happen as you expected? Any tips for those of us about to join the Losers team and embark on this journey with you?

Hey There!!! My surgery is August 30th as well. I am as nervous as I can be. But you are so right. The positive effects this will have on our lives is going to be a game changer. I keep worrying that my liver hasn't shrunk enough, or that something will go wrong.... but then I stop and remember that it will all be ok. I'm going to come out of this just fine and you will too!! Good luck to you, keep us updated!!

These would fit my program's requirements. The protein is more than double the carbs and that is the first thing we look for. This actually looks like a great product.

Hey girl. My WLS office faxed over some forms to my PCP to fill out for those appointments to count for me. Thanks goodness they did or I would still be 3 months out. My date is August 30th. My first appointment with my PCP was 2/8/17. Hope this helps. Ask you center is there are forms your PCP can fill out for you. Good luck

I'm on my two week pre-op LD right now. It has been a struggle but I'm only on day 3. I hear it gets easier as I go.
