Hi all! I had the surgery on 2/15, too. I've really struggled over the past week to meet both my Fluid and Protein goals-- dang, but it's difficult. My doctor said not to worry about Protein at this point, just liquids, but I'm trying regardless. I'm with you, jjsasha-- I've been about 15oz short on liquids each day. We just gotta keep at it, I guess!

Good luck, Cindy!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Renee2017. I had my sleeve surgery on Feb 15th, and I've been struggling, especially since getting home. In the hospital, I didn't run into many problems-- yeah, the gas pain was not fun, and I was terribly nauseous the first day, but I felt ready to come home and move forward. My doctor and nurses all said I was doing great and on track...Then I got home on Friday. Since then, the nausea has returned full-throttle (plus some), I'm struggling to drink anything at all, the gas pain is horrible, and I'm terribly, terribly weak. I needed to hear today that I'm not alone in the immediate struggles post-surgery. Thank you again for sharing-- it really, really helps to know it gets better from here!

My surgery is this Wednesday! Eeeeeep! Anyone else feeling/felt particularly anxious before surgery?

Hi All! I'm scheduled for February 15th, assuming insurance approves it. Eeep! So excited!

My surgery was approved by insurance today! Woo hoo! I am, indeed, getting the sleeve on February 15th!

Of course, to balance out the good news with some bad, I broke or severely sprained my ankle this past weekend, which is putting a pretty big damper on exercise. Here's hoping it's not too serious.... I don't want to postpone my sleeve surgery.

February 1st for me! New month, new me. So nervous and worried , but confident I can do this!

I have my Phych clearance interview today! Please pray that she doesn't think I'm too crazy!

My date will be the 6th or 7th...I will find out on the 26th when I go in for my day of classes. Everything is in place... now just the waiting. I've already been restricting my sugar and drinking a Protein Shake once in a while. I'm super excited... and terrified!! I'm really glad I found Bariatric Pal though!!

February 6th!!
Omg.....it is happening so fast!

My date is Feb 14th. That's right, Valentine's day! It is tentative pending insurance approval. I have BCBS and they required 6 consecutive month doc visits with weight loss management. I joined weight watchers and had a well documenting doc. Should find out by next week if insurance approves or if I have more hoops to jump through. Fingers crossed!

Paperwork was submitted in early December and was approved in less than two weeks! My date is set for February 16. I'm excited, yet scared! Its been since the late 90's since I've had any type of major surgery. My surgery will be in Birmingham Alabama.

I'm scheduled for February 15th. My doctor does not require any type of liquid diet or otherwise pre-surgery, but I'm thinking about doing one regardless, just to make the surgery safer (and to jump start my weight loss). Would any of you be willing to share what you're doing/did? I haven't yet met with the NUT (and I plan on picking her brain, too), but I'd love to hear from all of you as well.

Congratulations to everyone who's recently had surgery or are in the final stages of prep! I'm so excited for Feb 15th!
