First off I just wanted to congratulate you on the click bait lol, very smooth and effective, haha.
Second, you will do great. Being in shape prior to surgery helps some people bounce back to a regime quickly, but if not no worries go at the pace your body dictates. I was not in shape prior to surgery and i waited until 4 months post op to join a gym. I'm still just a novice and I work out lightly. Do what is best for you AFTER surgery.
Safe Journey!

That's interesting. I have the feeling they just want my system cleaned out so there is nothing in my tummy for surgery. I am glad I don't have to do weeks of it!

Hi Everyone,
I am having mine done, this coming Tuesday, July 31st. I am very excited and a tiny bit nervous about the surgical discomfort following. I am soooooo ready to have this done.

Good luck!!
All checked in waiting to go upstairs now

It’s that day! Checked in and ready.

Sounds to me like you have tied up those ends very nicely. There are a couple August groups also and I started one for the month of September, so no matter where you land you will be among friends. And I have been a proud member of this one since YLime started it, have met so many new friends here and happy to make your acquaintance as well. Please hang around,ask any questions you like, and please know you are among friends here!😝👍😝🌈

I have vacation in 2 weeks so I am going to live up my eating and drinking on vacation then switch to practice mode pre-surgery. I am sad to not have wine for a year :(.. but all in all will be worth it!

Awesome congrats!

This only an educated guess, you are still very swollen inside. Let's examine two good reasons
1. While you were asleep,you had an endo -tracheal in place to help you breathe. Don't worry, every Man- Jack of us did or will have one. It goes with the territory, this is not the type you sit upright in a dental chair for! No matter how gentle a surgeon or an anesthesiologist is, and most of them have done it so often they are smooth as silk with it, there can be a little scraping going in or coming out. Its okay, it will heal, when you have your tonsils out, they give ice cream, we bariatric,patients get cheated,we have to,make do with sugar free popsicles.
2. Your stomach is also swollen, doesn't matter whether,you now have a banananrama sleeve or a kangaroo pouch, you fall heir to swelling. While,you are healing,in other ways, your poor stomach is saying WTF,did YOU do to,little ME? And it shows its displeasure by being red and swollen inside. That too will heal, and like every surgical patient, there will be pain. What pain is worse? Good question, but every one of them hurts, I have had abdominal, facial , arm and leg incisions and healed well from them all. But not a single one of them made me want to,go dance through the daffodils. You are early days yet, give yourself permission to heal.
Remember:
Every Day and in Every day,You are going,to,get better and better. Usually my 3 and 4 days were the worst but we all vary. A very good friend was Day#2 , anotherwas fine until day 7 when she wanted to find her surgeon and turn him into a steer. if you get,my drift. Lucky for him he went,on holiday in either the Bahamas or Barbados where Bajan Sleeve lives. But my friend had fire in her eyes and malice in her ❤toward him.
Darling, check it,out with your own doctor,when you see him, but I am virtually certain you will be just fine!😛

Good luck with August all aound.

Y’all... I had my last pre-op appointment today. Y’all y’all y’all! I am freaking out! My surgery is 21 days away. I am so anxious and nervous 😬 ... I start my two week liquid diet in a week. 😲😲😲

😁😁😁

My last day of the pre-op diet and the eve of my surgery! I’ve been doing pretty good today. Less dizzy spells, headache is gone, I was able to prepare my mom’s lunch without feeling nauseous from the smell of the food, AND I’ve finally stopped being sad about the chewing thing, progress! lol. To everyone on their pre-op diet, stay strong! To everyone with dates coming up, I’m wishing you a speedy recovery. To everyone who has had their surgeries already this week, also wishing you speedy recovery. We’ve all got this! 😉

I’m Aug 13th. I have vacation in 1.5 days! I also plan on being lax about food during that week and then hitting my healthy diet hard when I return.

I am scheduled for August 15th!

@svdlux23, I’m also having mine mid August!! I’m excited and nervous

I am scheduled for Mid August.. So excited to get it done!
