Thank you for the advice, I have been taking gax x strips for the cramping (seems to work well) Today I was so excited I was able to move to full liquids. Something new. A little disappointed I have only lost 2 pounds since my surgery. I am hoping it is just swelling. Has anyone else had this also?

I also had my sleeve on June 28, 2017. Doing better than I originally thought. I love reading all the post on here about what to expect. I have not stepped on a scale as of today, so I don't know what I have lost in the last couple of days. The only thing I remember really is me waking up in recovery and the nurse telling me it was over. My BP was extremely low. Got into my room, with a full house. The family support system is great. Have not had any of the nausea or vomiting (except recovery). Just struggling to drink all my liquids to stay hydrated. I have found strength in reading about everyone's journey.

I am scheduled for June 28th also in Jacksonville Florida. Sounds like we have a good little group going here. We are all in the same place for our surgeries. I am very nervous also. I have 100 percent confidence in my surgeon. I will be starting my full liquid diet on Tuesday before surgery. From what I have been reading, I don't think my doctor has been as strict as some of the other doctors on this website. I have been on a low sodium and no/very low carb way of life for 2 weeks. The hardest part for me has been no fruit or milk. I am already down 22 pounds from my first appointment. Blood pressure is improving, blood sugars are getting better. My problem now is am I doing the right thing or should I just continue with this "diet " they have us on. I am diabetic and feel like I need to continue to eat better and feel better. I know the answer is have the surgery done, I am self pay and that is alot of money on a single person. I will update when I can after the surgery. Good Luck to everyone here.

Congratulations. Now for a new journey in life. Keep your head up, you have been given a golden opportunity.

My surgery is also the 28th.... Getting a little nervous. Hope everything goes well.
