Good luck. Just had surgery on 11/21/16! I feel great. I'm 45 it was a great decision for me. My bmi was 33 and I would not have waited any longer. If it's right for you I hope all things work out. Welcome. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Sorry u don't feel well. Hope nothing is seriously injured. Take Advil if u can for pain and use ice. Maybe sleep in a recliner if u can. Elevate,ice, Advil or Tylenol and a recliner. Feel better. If not or big bruising go get seen. Take care. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for the input. I'll let you know how I do. Like u I'm just worried about the hustle. The bend,stretch,reach,transfer, lifting, etc. not to mention how to find time for fluids. Lol. I guess everything will just work. I'll let u know. My surgery is in 3 weeks exactly. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Nov 21! Hopefully getting 3-4 weeks recovery. Wondering what everyone else got for recovery time. I was told 2 weeks maybe 3 but I have a very busy go- go job so I'm on my feet 8-12 hours if my shift. Just wondering average time off? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey how are u doing now? My surgery is in 2 weeks. Was 2 weeks enough time for u to be off looking back or did u need more? Our ED is really busy and there is no guarantee I'll get triage. If I request it I might get 4 hours max. I'm requesting to be sent back to 8's and not 12's for the first couple months. We will See. Please let me know. Thanks. I want to ask for what I need right away. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery was moved up to the 21st. Must loose the weight by the 15th of nov that's my pre op. I don't have a "liquid diet" but I've been doing a modified version of a VLCD to loose the last 10+ pounds. Just looked it up on line and I've lost 7.6 lbs in 4 days. While working in Er. So it's possible. Not nice but possible. Good luck everyone. I have to loose 3.3 more then keep it off till the 15 and on the 21st. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

There's the regular isopure Protein mix then the isopure drink it's like a Gatorade. They r 20oz. 40 pro 160cal each glass bottle. Like about $5 a bottle about 10 favors clear liquid like Gatorade. Not like powder. Very different in texture n taste. Just an option. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Meeb I just sent u a message surgery sister!! We are going to do fabulous. We all are actually. Those lucky ones who get to start at the beginning of the month please know how very jealous I am of u all. Please keep us posted. I will pray for any one who wants prayers. I know they help me. Can't wait to do this. It's going to be great! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I bought Isopure ready made drink it's like a gator ade. Lots of different flavors. They r clear like Gatorade / Water some have bad after taste but they are 160 cal 40 Protein I use them to make jello!!! I drink them over ice kills the bad after taste. There's 10 or so flavors. Lemonade or ice tea or peach mango or pineapple orange banana I like best. I find them at GNC. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery was moved from 19 to 27. Ugh. Dr on vacation. But ok! I was wondering if u guys wanted to do photos the day or week before surgery then like every month to show our progress. I was reading a different thread and some people don't see the changes others do. But regardless it's a great way to start your journey. I'll be looking forward to seeing your 4 week results. When mine happen I'll post too. Good luck October sleeves! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am the 19th. I actually have to loose 7.5 lbs in a week. Before my preop appt. I knew this and just keep putting it off. I don't know why. I do so well on the preop diet and then I cook for my family and it's so good I eat some. Nothing bad but some. So I stop loosing. So all day I did great. Got all my Water in and Protein then made dinner for everyone and ... Ugh! Does anyone else have this struggle? Just frustrating. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was oct 11 just got moved to October 19 but that's ok. Dr is on vacation. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I totally get it. That is one of my many concerns and when it's really busy and u can't even breath how r u going to eat slowly and sip water. Plus what about if u have to do CPR. I know someone's done this and been successful so like u I need to know how. ????

Ok. I so truly appreciate the help.
