I was sleeved yesterday. Horrible gas pains but I was a trooper and walked like crazy and today is not so bad. I was getting Water down okay (in small quantities) but the Jello and the apple juice is a lot :\

I am the 27th (today)! I am a bundle of nerves!! Good luck to my surgery twins and good luck to everyone!!

I haven’t started the pre-op diet yet. I don’t know why I felt like I HAD to but I felt like yesterday I had to go and eat one last McDonalds. I’m terrified that I won’t stick to this diet and I’ll still be overweight, nothing will work.... stretching my sleeve. I’m so ashamed that I did this. I couldn’t even finish my food because I was so disgusted with myself. I am so scared that I’m going to screw this up.

Mine is doing the diet for 2 weeks then one day before I’m on Clear Liquids.

So I have my surgery 6/27 and I start my pre-op diet next week. I went in knowing that I would have to go on a full liquid diet, but they told me it was not a liquid diet but it is high protein/ low carb. Has anyone done a non-liquid diet pre-op?? I’m worried my liver won’t react as well as someone on a full liquid diet!

I’m set up for 6/27!! I have to pass my psych evaluation and all the other stuff but I’ve been told not to worry!!

Hi! I’m bipolar too! I’m also on quite a few medications for it. I made sure to get the liquid or ODT versions on those that were large. I also made sure none of mine were time release because you can’t crush those. I had VSG on 5/10 and I’m now taking my normal pills (other than the trazadone which now makes me vomit, and the lamictal which I still use the ODT form of because the crushed tastes disgusting and the tablets are too large to swallow.) I’ve only changed one medication dose since surgery and that was because crushing them made me absorb them much faster. Also, I feel so much better after losing some weight that I honestly didn’t need that 3rd daily dose anymore anyway.

So can you not swallow regular pills after the surgery? My surgery is also the 27th and I also have bipolar disorder!! No one told me anything about swallowing pills would be a problem... now I’m concerned.

Hey!! My surgery is also on the 27th! So much excitement! 😁😁😁
