I’m on day 5 of my preop diet I’m not hungry I’ve hydrated my tummy into submission I’m just bored or rather saddened by the fact that I can’t snack. So I’m tryna stay busy and focus on that I’m only 10 days out from joining the losers bench.

Surgery on the 27th... I am struggling on this dang pre op diet!

so excited for my surgery on 2/28. three days in on the pre-op diet, and im finding that every day im less hungry than the day before. my pre-op, for those interested, is 1000 calories low carb (1 lean cuisine, 4 shakes, and veggies). my body actually is feeling better, except my energy levels. I really hope I get used to eating so few calories - because DANG am I tired!
those who just got sleeved, congratulations! how do you all feel? how is your pain and hunger?

2-28-18!!!

Mine is scheduled for 2/19. This is my first post and thought I'd just read instead of jumping in to the discussions but I'm going to need the support and most of y'all seem super nice and helpful!

Getting Nervous but I'm ready 2/27 surgery date

The Road 2 A Better Me

I tried so many Protein Drinks before surgery and haven’t even attempted then after surgery. They make me heave. Drinking organic grass fed beef Bone Broth instead. Having no issues getting all my Water in, and more. Plus thick Soups too. I count myself very lucky to have had no issues at all.
Good luck to those about to join the February surgery gang, update us on your progress if you have already been done. Have a wonderful day

I had RNY on 2/12/18 and came home yesterday. I did really well in the hospital with getting my liquids in but today was my first "full liquids" day and I'm struggling a bit. it's more difficult to get down the thicker liquids like Protein Shakes and cream Soup. i dont know how people manage to consume 60 grams of Protein in a day. I could just get down a little under 2oz of cream soup in a 30 min period. I'm pushing through but still in a fair amount of pain due to a small complication during my surgery where the needle broke while he was suturing me so he had to get xray to come up to find it and dig out the lost piece...that spot is very swollen and the muscles are super sore. the other incisions look great and are almost painless though. I was hoping to be off narcotics sooner but I think I may need them another day or 2. I'm not going to feel guilty about it. I waited so long for this...I know this pain is temporary and a few months down the line it will be a blip in my memories. it's worth every second for the amazing opportunity this surgery is giving me to change my life. I never had the "what did I do to myself" moment, I think because I read about so many others who did and I knew this was the only decision I could've made for myself at this point...I'd done everything else I could. I haven't weighed myself since pre op and I'm waiting for 1 week post op just to let some of the swelling and fluids dissipate, but I'm 5'4"... my HW was 315, SW was 289 after the 2 week liquid diet.
I'm looking forward to not being sore anymore and gaining some energy!

Hey everyone I know everyone is about STATS post op. I had my one week status post RNY 2/7/18 appointment today. Everything seems to be healing well however I am somewhat dehydrated and low potassium. I woke up today with pain in my calves almost like cramping. I am still struggling on liquid intake let alone getting food in for my purée stage plus all the Vitamins. (FYI it is some hard ass work). Other than all of that, I am off Diabetes meds hopefully forever, and my sugar has been under 100 so that has been the biggest success of all this.

I got weighed for the first time since surgery..... drum roll.... the scale said 250...... I also had jeans on and forgot to remove my keys and phone plus I didn’t have a BM until after the appointment, so I am thinking maybe a pound or two less if not I should be under 250 by the end of this week....... so this is when I say it has been worth it good luck to all and if you have questions let me know.... everyone’s journey is different.....

Yes! February 28. I start my liquid diet Thursday. Happy Valentine’s Day!

I had my surgery yesterday (Valentines Day). I feel great!! I’m having incision site pain that got pretty bad last night for a bit but only where the stomach was pulled out. I’ve done lots of walking so I know that helps. ❤️

Best wishes to everyone! 🤗

That’s the day before me!!!

Me too I’m 2/28/18

Happy Wednesday to all..... although we can’t have chocolates, Cookies, heart shaped cakes, cupcakes, or whatever we want on Valentine’s Day we are gaining health....... I do wish everyone the best. Started purée diet today and has been good. I had an egg in the morning.... went down well but it took forever to eat, I indulged earlier with one tbsp of creamy Peanut Butter and called it lunch haha , idk if I will do dinner because I need to bump up my Protein intake so I have been sipping on protein Water. This is a real adjustment! I made marinara rotini and turkey meatballs for my kiddo (his fav) and husband. Omg! Smelled delightful, but I didn’t break. I hope everyone is having and continues to have a good day!!!!

By the way..... the clear Protein Drink Premier Protein is so delicious. I slip it half and half with a water bottle. Taste great and gets me 10 grams of protein per bottle. If you can handle the sweetness, then don’t water it down and drink as is for 20 grams of protein per bottle.

Good luck to all who start their pre surgery diet on Valentine's Day and good healing to the DS-Sleevers-RnY having their surgeries today.

My surgery instruction packet said no make up including nail polish but I checked with my surgeon and she said toenail polish is fine but only light colored polish on your fingers. So I’d say ask your surgeon to be sure.

I had my surgery on 2/9. Not in to much pain. I'm off the pain killers and just doing Tylenol. I am so happy I made the choice to have this surgery. I am still on clears until Friday. I can't wait to progress in my diet!!

Did anyone have to take nail polish off fingers and toes before surgery?

I asked at my pre-op appt hospital appt today. She said, nope! So happy toes bring it on!!! (I always wear my lucky bright orange polish for surgeries!)

One week post-op today. I had my first check in with my primary yesterday and, counting the weight I lost during the two week pre-op diet, I am down 26 pounds!!! In 21 days!!! I am on cloud nine!

The pain is almost completely gone at this point and I’ve started back at the YMCA doing a moderate 30 minute workout on one of the nu-step machines. I cannot wait for the incisions to heal so I can get back in the pool.

How’s everyone else doing?

Looks like a lot of us are scheduled for Feb 28th! So excited and nervous. Just created this account! Hope all early Feb sleevers are doing well!!
