I'm getting sleeved April 27th! So excited for all of us!

Tomorrow is the big day!! I feel like I'm nervous nesting. I've been on an organizing and cleaning spree for days haha. Anyone doing busy work?

Three week diet here of 2 MR shakes, 100g Protein and 300g veggies allowed daily. Max of 68g carbs a day allowed so been fun with headaches.

Our diets tho are to shrink liver as if it's too big they just close up. One week to go!

Congrats on getting your date. Mine is May 11th. I think it is normal for them to tell you that no pre op diet is required. It depends on person to person and how comfortable the surgeon feels accessing your stomach. Mine told me to diet only for a week but not to be too harsh on myself. I am however required to do the 1 day fast prior to surgery.

So excited. Kind of weird they told me no pre op diet was needed. Just a fast the day prior. Anyone else have this? Follow me on IG screen name: michelle_wls

I'm being sleeved 8th April. I've still got tough preop work to do.

Hii everyone
I know its late but I just wanted to share . I am getting sleeved on Tuesdayy. I was super nervous about getting cleared by my PCP because I had to get my blood work done twice due to my white blood cell count being high the first time . but today I got the OKAY I'm so nervous and excited and so thankful to God because this has been such a long journey already with losing weight and knowing the road ahead only holds accomplished weight goals is such a surreal moment. To anyone who has surgery coming up and everyone else waiting for approval GOOD LUCK. & God Bless you all.

Dang, well this was planned perfectly, I have started my doctors strict preop diet today. Surgery Day Feb 28th. Well so much for all the "bad" Vday goodies out there. Lol Plus side family; my hubby and two kiddies ( boy 13, girl 8) are totally on board, So normal vday would have been spent with tons of candy, and going to dinner somewhere. Well , guys not tonight, this girl is having a smoothie and we are all going to go to beach for a night time walk. Instead of candies I have suggested A few other things to hubby that doesn't involve food... To be continued...

[emoji256] so they are letting you eat meals other than Liquid Protein. That's awesome.

No worries sweety, you'll be fine. Just don't do it anymore, by holding back, you will not crave anything, it comes automatically.

I started my 10 day pre op liquid diet on Monday the 13th, my sleeve surgery is the 23rd. Today was my birthday and I had such a craving for pizza that stupid me decided it was going to be a really long time before I was able to eat pizza hut pizza again so i went out with my kids and boyfriend for pizza. I had 2 pieces of pizza and 2 breadsticks plus about half glass of sprite. I went straight back to my liquids as soon as I got home and I plan to stick to my liquid diet 100% from now till surgery. Do you think everything will be ok or what do you think I should do

Congratulations! I received my call on Thursday for approval surgery date is set for March 9th!
It's incredible how the fear shifts from worry about not getting approved, to "OMG, this is really happening!!"
We will look back on this and be so happy with our decision.
Best of luck to you.

Had gastric sleeve nov 11, 2016! Hasn't been easy! I was in and out of the hospital with dehydration and stomach spasms causing me to vomit constantly! I'm doing much better now and these results make it seem worth it finally! Don't give up! You're gonna get to where you want to be! Have a blessed Friday!

Ummmm....you do realize that different types of lighting can account for tonal changes in a photograph????? hair color changes made you question the veracity of the picture???? SMH....I guess if anyone decides to post a WLS before/after picture, they'll need to make sure the pictures are taken with THE EXACT SAME CLOTHING, HAIR, POSES, LIGHTING, BACKDROPS, ETC to satisfy any naysayers.Why be so disparaging......????? Just be happy for a person-& if you can't, DON'T COMMENT!

My gas pains have gotten so much better. My incision pains have also gotten so much better too. Easier to move and breathe. Been trying to stay moving, compression socks, blood clot exercises, gas x strips, Water.
I just wanted to say this to give hope. That it was awful the first couple days but I'm feeling better. And I feel more confident that things can be great.

I went to the gym yesterday for the first time in way too long and I brought my toddler (almost 2 years old) along with me. There's a daycare center that will watch little ones from 4-8 pm so I thought I'd give it a try. LO normally stays home with his grandmother during the day so he's not used to daycare. I was sort of dreading dropping him off because I was afraid he'd cry.
Upon seeing all the kids and toys, he wriggled out of my arms and ran straight for the action, banging his hands against the barrier enthusiastically to get in and have fun.
Much to my relief, I signed him in, went to the gym and... it was BLISSFUL! I could listen to my music, watch HGTV, and exercise all without a small person clinging to my legs and demanding my absolute undivided attention! Ended up doing 50 minutes of cardio and 15 minutes of stretching.
Even better, LO had a great time and ended up wearing himself out so bedtime was much easier! All around, a major win in my household. My motivation to hit the gym has increased 10-fold.

Amen... I agree. This is a very hard process and I respect all of those that describe the struggle for newbies like myself. It helps me to get through a rough spot when I know someone else here has gone through something similar.

Thru it all, the hunger, throwing up, heartburn,fright & frustration i was down 28lbs @ 29 days post opp , from 294 to 266 (im 5'10") @ my check up yesterday, SLEEVERS, its not easy but there is light @ the end of the tunnel! I show my Bariatric Pals, the good bad & ugly, not just b4 & after pics, after im down 100lb, making it seem like this surgery is some magic pill, cuz its NOT!!!!
