    Day 2: passed my leak test. Think I may have over done it a bit this am. I walked a couple times went for the test then took a sink bath. I forgot I had the pain pump and hadn’t used it today yet. Until I sat back in bed and realized I had some pain even when not Moving around. I quickly used it and now resting.




    Day one post op for me. I am so glad this is done!

    My doc wanted me to lose 10 pounds and I followed Bariatric Fusion's Liver Reduction Diet. I printed out their pdf and hung several of them all over my house! Its 3-4 Protein Shakes (their Orange and chocolate are tolerable- we have to remember it's a Protein Shake and not a meal! I made them with ice and non-fat milk = kinda milkshake-y ) and SF Jello, SF pops (tropical flavor!!) and homemade broth, V8 and low sugar cranberry juice. I lost 13.5 pounds! I had a few cheat days with roasted chicken breast and steamed veggies but overall I got used to it. I whined a bunch, work was sometimes frustrating and the cravings got insane at times but I kept my eye on the prize and I did get used to it. I went in a few weeks later and he was very pleased with the loss. I got submitted, approved and scheduled within three days!
    You've come so far at this point. stay focused on what you want: slimmer happier healthier lighter (insert adjective here) and two weeks will fly by! Good luck to you!!


    Thank you! I am on day four and I have stayed on track. What day is your surgery?

    Well my pre-op diet starts tomorrow. I had a 2 hour session with the nutritionist and my doctor's nurse in which they went over in great detail the pre-op and post-op requirements. I am really trying to stay positive about the next two weeks. Bottom line, if my Dr goes in and my liver is too fatty, he won't perform the surgery. I don't want to come all this way to just be turned away on the operating table. Operation pre-op is in full effect!

    Yes! I use Sally Beauty's leave in & also use their hydrating hair mask. I take Biotin & Omega 3 Fish Oil, as well as the bariatric chewable multi Vitamin & The calcium citrate Chewy Bite. My hair's thick & curly, stylists say nuclear, which means I can do pretty much anything/everything to it & it is beautiful (everyone comments & complements on it which is so sweet) so I also warm a 1/2 cup of organic coconut oil & put it on once weekly (overnight) starting from the ends up to the roots. Both my sisters are cosmetologists, now working in other fields, so anytime I've got a q, I get the straight scoop from them (they trained me to do their hair, since I'm an artist, but now I live in a different state & they miss me a lot). My hair's thinned out since surgery, but not in a bad way as far as I'm concerned. I thank God for this & everything. Lastly, I go to the 3 support groups my surgeon offers for free every month: psychologist to deal with food issues, nutrition/nutritionist & bariatric support for post-op patients with him & his partner. Tomorrow's nutrition, so if I learn anything, I'll tell ya. For example, I live in Las Vegas, NV which is hotter than hell, but after losing over 60 lbs in the past 3.5 mos, I'm always cold (except when I'm exercising). Hope my reply helps. Namaste.

    This is great info! I am scheduled for the sleeve on October 3rd and that is one of my concerns, thinning hair. I have been taking Hair, Skin, and Nails which has biotin in it but I am going to add the coconut oil treatment. I am so glad I joined this site!!
