Got my sleeve on the 28th. Gas was bad. Home now. When I drink it hurts. Maybe I'm taking to big of sips? Feels like a bomb hitting my stomach. But I did have hernia repair too.

I had my surgery Monday, Aug 21, and I have not been in any pain, just a lot of discomfort from the bloating. But today is day 4 post op and the majority of the bloating is gone. I went shopping at the mall yesterday for about 3-4 hours and I've ran errands most of today. I drove with a friend yesterday, but today I drove myself and have not had any problems. I took a narcotic pain pill the first night to help me sleep and because I was afraid the pain would wake me, but I probably didnt need it. Other than that, just tylenol on day 2 and nothing on days 3 and 4. I just also add...not only did they do my sleeve, but they removed my gallbladder and fixed a hernia I didnt know I had, so even with all that, I'm getting around great. I am having a hard time getting my Water all in, and the clear Protein is way too sweet, so I have had 1 sugarfree popcicle, 1 sugarfree Jello, very diluted apple juice, and broth everyday. I wish you well on your surgery next week!!!

I'm having my surgery on the 28th but I don't have to go on all liquids

Tuesday is my surgery date November 28th. They didn't tell me I had to be on all liquids tomorrow but I think I should. Did anyone else go on just liquid before surgery

Oh wow I'm going on the 28th! Will try to post some after I come down off meds. Lol

Today is my sleeve day - going to hospital in about an hour!

Hi everyone! I am having the sleeve done on November 29th. I'm on a 3 day liquid diet until then. I'm 58 years old, 203 pounds and 5'1". I'm very excited about it, but admit I'm a little nervous. Any advise?

So excited just found out I'm scheduled for November 28th!

They pump you full of liquid so that is probably your gain. I'm excited for you.

The guidelines I was given say during the mushy stage I should eat max 1/4 cup of food 4 times a day. That's like 4ish dry ounces of food a day. That seems really really low. Like impossible to hit any type of nutritional goals type of low. Any thoughts?
I know I should ask my NUT but she is not very helpful. Basically just says stick to the sheet (and buy the products on it obviously), and doesn't really seem to know too much of the details of how bariatric surgery actually works.

The only reason I am worried is because I NEVER EVER EVER take time for myself. To eat or drink. Sometimes I eat a can of chicken right out of the cabinet, standing at the sink. I work out of a home office for a firm and have for over 10 years. I'm VERY VERY hard on myself. I'm a "perfectionist" with everything except ME. So I'm last on the list and I need to make myself FIRST on the list. I never have my whole life and I'm 56. So that will be struggle. So I'm not nervous about eating or not eating in front of people or people knowing or asking questions. I'm very buffered from that. But not taking the time because of an insane job with constant deadlines.....yes....I'm extremely nervous about that. I don't want to get sick or end up in the hospital because I don't stop to drink or stop to get my Protein in. The only thing that I heard is that we may be pretty darned tired after only a week. So here's to US managing our damned jobs! LOL! Oh and yes....I'm one of those that barely eats during the day and then pigs out at night and goes to bed 3 hrs later. HENCE THE WEIGHT. So yes, I have a whole lotta work on ME to do. Good luck to you

Hi Bunny Jean,

I know exactly what you mean, I am scheduled for surgery on 11/14. I drink a lot of water now and it is usually fast and furious because I have a very demanding job as well. There are many days where I don’t eat until I get hope because I get too “wrapped up” at work. One of my goals to work on this week is slowing down to take care of me and take sips here and there to prepare. I am also only taking a week off from work, it makes me nervous. I hope I can handle that first week back. Are you nervous about the transition back to work?
