I had the sleeve surgery on June 5. I weighed 222lbs that day, my heaviest was 247 in January. I lost 13 pounds by myself and then 12 on the liquid diet. I threw my scale out before the liquid diet so I won't obsess with it. I am meeting my nutritionnist next week and i will weigh in then. I am curious about what you're eating at that point.

Thank you for the news ! I was sleeved on the 5th and it was not as bad as you, but definetely not easy - and way harder than the 2 week liquid diet ! Take all the drugs you need and don't forget this is temporary. You'll be on your feet in no time. Keep up updated Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

Newly post-op June peeps : what are you eating ? I don't feel hunger at all. So far today, I had 1/4 cup of juice and 1/2 cup of broth. I don't want anything else. Is that normal ? Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello all ! Just wanted to check in after my surgery that took place around 10am yesterday, so a little more than 12 hours ago. I am home now and feel a little like myself. I was really nauseaous, dizzy and tired for the first hours. I got up after maybe 6 hours. I have some pain but it's not too bad.

My VSG is 4 days away and I am very anxious. I understand it is part of the process but it helps me to be prepared, so I would like to know what is/was your biggest challenge so far in your journey. Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

How much does your baby weigh and how long post op did you lift him/her ? I am also scared of such emergencies... Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

I don't - except that my husband is a nurse but that's another story. I can go back to the hospital if I don't feel well of course. I hope it will be alright. Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

I dreamed about food tonight. I am ready for this liquid diet to be over. Also : it's June ! Yeah ! Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

You got this. Just do the best you can - this is what I am telling myself. I still have 4 days to go and I am ready for this to be finished. My irritability is high and my family is walking on eggshells around me. Let's finish this strong ! Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

I don't tell people. But it's really because I am a private person. I don't tell anyone about my medical issues, if I go on a diet, or any other treatment. So why would I talk about my surgery ? Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

Depends on what you are allowed on your liquid diet. I was allowed vegetables so I am eating a lot. I am trying to switch up the protein shakes so I'll have protein popsicles and hot chocolate shakes, for instance. If I get too hungry, I drink water and look at before/afters. Keep busy, sleep a lot and take it one day at a time. I have 5 left to go ! You got this Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am on the 5th too ! And also very nervous and excited ! (And ready to eat something else than shakes) Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

I just had blood drawn, an EKG, and a conversation with the nurse about care before and right after surgery. My hospital also does pulmonary function but they did not want me to do it. Yours might be different since I did not require anyone. Let us know how it goes Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

Contratulations on your weight loss ! I have not weighed in yet, I will do it later today at the gym. I actually threw my scale out the day before I started my liquid diet to avoid scale obsession (I tend to weigh in waaaaay too much). It's good that you find something that works for you. And hardboiled eggs won't make a difference, especially when looking at all the things you are allowed. I can only have veggies on top of shakes, but the brand I have to use is way higher in carbs and fat than premier protein. Speaking of husbands, mine tried to convinced me yesterday that I could have a piece of sausage without making it a huge difference. I was so mad he would say something like that !!!
