CONGRATULATIONS!!! Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Had gastric sleeve on 08/24. Experienced severe nausea and vomiting (even with all the meds given before/during surgery). Had to stay in hospital an extra day but situation was resolved. Doctors and hospital staff were excellent. Now 6 days post-op. A little sore but have not needed pain meds at all. I'm in the full liquid stage. Am able to get most of my water and protein in. Energy level is getting better everyday. Even though I can't eat much I'm still trying to figure out when I'm full and remember to sip and not gulp (it hurts). For those using GenePro do you count a serving at 30g of protein?

Thanks for the tip. I ran out and bought the tea. My surgery is Thursday August 24th.

Wow!! How do they taste? I live in Orlando, not far from Sanford. Have to check out this bakery. Thanks for sharing.. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm a couple of months shy of 58 myself. I'm scheduled for August 24th. Just started my official 2 week pre op diet today. I'm excited and for some reason not nervous. Ready to continue the journey toward a healthier way of life. Pray everyone's surgery is uneventful and have a speedy recovery.

Congratulations!!! I'm scheduled for Aug 24th.

My surgery is scheduled for August. But I looked at a couple of apps and liked Bariastic the best. Already using to track food, water, exercise.

Small WLS world isn't it :0) ?!!! My preop appt is Aug 15th.. Pls stay in touch and let me know how you are doing after surgery.

Hi, I am having sleeve surgery with Dr. Tiexiera. Surgery not scheduled yet. Currently going through my 3 month diet and other required appointments, etc. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi, I'm a newbie to this site and the world of WLS. I would appreciate support , encouragement and advice for gastric sleeve. I am in the pre-op phase. Am currently going through all of the medical appointments and 3 month diet required by my insurance. I've struggled with my weight for about 20 yrs. Always thought I could loose the weight but have been stuck on the yo-yo diet train. Loose some then gain it back. I'm in my late 50s, 5'8", HW 292, CW 275. I have sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and have already had a knee replacement. Now my other knee is bothering me and reached a decision to REALLY take control of my health.
