    Hi everyone, I am 7 days away from surgery! I am getting to the point of impatience. I had a big breakdown on Monday and finally feel a little better! How is everyone coping with the waiting game? It's driving me crazy!

    Hi, there's a private fb group already, but anyone can actually look for it and see the actual members! I just clicked on it and was able to see the names and pics and the ppl that have joined. I'm a "secret sleeved" so I dnt necessarily feel comfortable with joining if, since other ppl can't see the post, but they can see my name and pic of the look under the member section [emoji43]

    Hi everyone, just here counting the days till July 12th, I had my pre op class last week, and I just go out of my pre op appt with my surgeon. I told him I'm open this weekend, but I guess I'll have to wait till the 12th! Lol the office actually gave me a spirometer to practice breathing and limit my chances of pneumonia, along with some wipes. He told me I need to be on an all liquid diet 24hrs before the surgery and no liquids after midnight. He also ordered a pregnancy test, 5 days before the surgery. Good luck to everyone!!

    Thank you so much for taking the initiative and organizing this extensive and beautiful list!!
  9. Hi I am actually thinking about doing that after my surgery. I contacted a naturopathic doctor and he recommended one before and after. Another naturalopathic doctor recommended one 4 days post op since I am taking my vitamins. I'm still debating it since it is a little pricey.
  10. Hi, has anyone tried IV treatments pre and post surgery? What was your experience?
  11. Hello, Iv treatment is when they intravenously give you vitamins, they can give you vitamin c, b vitamins and others to help you heal faster.
  12. In so happy for you! Here's to a speedy recovery!

  20. Hi everyone, so I've been planning a nice Caribbean vacation with a couple of friends for this summer, but I'm nervous since I might be sleeved by that time. I'm hoping to get my surgery in late May, early June and traveling for a week abroad in late July. Is that too soon to go abroad? If you traveled soon after your surgery, what was your experience like? Or how long did you wait to go abroad?
  21. I weighted myself again today and I went from 280lbs (yesterday) to 278 today. I changed the batteries of my scale, so hopefully I won't freak out again. I spoke with my doctor today and he basically told me to "just keep swimming"
  22. Hi everyone, so my doctor recommended a 10% loss before surgery in February, I fortunately had loss 10 lbs since December, but I've been stuck for the past 2.5 weeks with no weight loss, last time I weighted myself I was 277.8 but for the past few days I've been in the 280s. I have been exercising, following the diet and logging my food into an apt which tells me I'm having about an average of 1500 calorie deficit, but still no budge. I first though it was just water weight, but it's been a couple of days and I'm starting to feel very disheartened and emotional. Any help, tips will be appreciated it!
  23. Thanks! My cycle is going to happen in 3wks, and as for the sodium, I'm not a fan of salt so that will be minimal. I weighted myself again today and the scale kept going up, then down, then up again. I'm planning on just having a shake for breakfast, dinner and a light lunch and see if anything budges. I'm just sad since I have my pre op consult tomorrow and wanted to be writhing 5lbs of my goal. I usually drink between 90 to 140 oz of water daily. Soooo I dnt know what could be it! But I'll def. look into your recommendations!

    May??

    Thank you for this! I started my process in early February with Kaiser SSF and I'm not kidding! The diet part has been hard! It's been a slow process but I'm not giving up! I have about 17lbs more to go!and like you, I started focusing on my protein but I can't cut carbs.
