My preop diet started yesterday, and let me tell you guys, I felt horrendous!!! Now im finally starting to get over the weakness and headaches and the head fog is starting to clear. Hopefully it's all smooth sailing from here! Getting sleeved 9/26/16 Sw:325 Current:308 Goal:170

I'm 26 so hopefully I can have a similar snap back! I'd be proud to bare my tummy if it looked that good! Getting sleeved 9/26/16 Sw:325 Current:308 Goal:170

Me too! Just had my first shake a little while ago, I'm waiting to start feeling the headaches and tiredness I keep hearing about! We're almost there!!! Getting sleeved 9/26/16 Sw:325 Current:308 Goal:170

What about getting an endoscopy? Oh nvm I see you're scheduled lol! Getting sleeved 9/26/16 Sw:325 Current:308 Goal:170

Ahhh Yeh 1 month off to heal properly. In London the time off depends on your job. I work with children so I have to be healed correctly before I go back. Sent from my SM-G901F using the BariatricPal App My job only let me get a week off, but my surgeon says I should be fine since it's a desk job. Going to bring a binder just in case though cause he says that'll help me a lot. Getting sleeved 9/26/16 Sw:325 Current:308 Goal:170

Oh thank goodness! I've had my funeral as my preop starts tomorrow and I realized how bummed id be if this was the last time haha Getting sleeved 9/26/16 Sw:325 Current:308 Goal:170

I know that for a while my food will be restricted and I've accepted that. However, sushi is my utmost favorite food that I've ever eaten. With that being said, I know rice is a touchy food for a lot of people but is there anyone that has tried to test the waters Once they were a while out like 6mo or a year later? If I have to say goodbye then so be it, but if I know there will be a day that I can eat it once again, I'd be so happy! Getting sleeved 9/26/16 Sw:325 Current:308 Goal:170

Did you get one from your surgeon or did you have to get one for yourself, and if so, where can I get one? Getting sleeved 9/26/16 Sw:325 Current:308 Goal:170

Just finished mine this past week, I've eaten/drank all and everything I wanted. Monday is my two week pre-op diet start, and I'm satisfied that I got to enjoy all of my favorites one more time. I found that towards the end of my splurge though, I started feeling sluggish and crappy all over again like I used to before, so honestly it's good for the body and the brain to say goodbye and remember while you're doing this! ❤️ Getting sleeved 9/26/16 Sw:325 Current:308 Goal:170

Preop liquid diet starts on Monday....good luck all, can't wait to see how we all do after surgery!!! Getting sleeved 9/26/16 Sw:325 Current:308 Goal:170

My surgery will be done at Virtua in Nj Getting sleeved 9/26/16 Sw:325 Current:308 Goal:170

A lot of the tips you need will come from your surgeon and the nurses. But, I will say this... You will probably have gas pains (you will feel them in your back, neck, and/or shoulder. If the Hydrocodone doesn't take the edge off while you're in the hospital, then request dilaudid. It will help. Good luck! All I keep hearing is that activity is key so I'm just going to plan to walk as much as they'll let me immediately haha Getting sleeved 9/26/16 Sw:325 Current:308 Goal:170

Let us know how it goes! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It may though for safety reasons. I ran into a similar issue after waiting for my CPAP and my follow-up appointments were delayed; after everything was sorted out, I asked my pulmonologist why he wouldn't clear me before I used the CPAP. He told me it's because he wants the CPAP to fit properly due to the drugs immediately postop. He told me sometimes patients are so drugged up that they stopped breathing which is why the CPAP is important. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
