I'm in Agawam, MA and getting my sleeve next Tuesday.

Thank you! Maybe we need a June 28th surgery buddy thread to keep in touch with each other

Wow, so many people are having surgery on the 28, lol. Good luck and I wish you a speedy recovery as well.

I do! I think you can add by email? Mine is nbedillion07@gmail.com

I’m on June 28th as well for bypass! Wishing everyone a speedy recovery!

Also this week on June 28....and also my first surgery 😬 good luck to everyone else!

I’m getting sleeved tomorrow morning. Two weeks on a liquid diet has me down 24lbs.
I’m physically and mentally ready, although still have some of those pre op jitters.

I have noticed in addition to the this-weekers there is a ganggoozele of people having theirs done July 2nd, must be a bunch of surgeons's wanted them. done and over so they could spend the 4th of July with their own families. I wonder if there are Canadian surgeon's doingbtheirs on June b 30th so they can take Dominion Day off? And then French ones who want Bastille Day off in Mid-July? Aussies and New Zealanders, did you have yours changed because of Anzac Day?

I had my surgery yesterday in Istanbul (I'm an American living in Turkey) and I think I've gotten through the worst of it recovery wise. It was more pain than i had anticipated but looking back i think my expectations were a little unrealistic. It was also my first time having any kind of surgery. My best advice is bring some audio books or podcasts if you can, that really helped distract me from the pain and put my mind at ease the first night because my eyes were too tired to read the books I brought

The day after mine that's Awesome . I also brought everything that I could possibly need. I have so many Protein powders, Water, Jello, broth, etc. I have a son and get so much anxiety at the thought of not being with him for possibly two days (I have separation issues) lol. This is also my first time ever having surgery so that makes me super nervous but I am going in with positive thoughts and I know that this is the right decision. Thanks for taking the time to write me and yes good luck and speedy recovery to us all!!!!!!

I’m on the 28th also!!!!
looks like it’s gonna be a busy day for sleevers, i know of about 6 on that day so far
lets keep in touch, with our progress...

Right now, tasty food is not important. Rest, and getting those sips of Water, are. Put some unsweetened Protein Powder into water (I used raw milk because I love it) or something not sweet. Try sipping warm Bone Broth. Fluids, a bit of Protein, rest. I promise you one day you will enjoy food again but this is your MOMENT TO RESET YOUR EATING. Eating got us into trouble. Now you are starting anew with a new stomach and you get a reset. If you do this right, you won’t be craving sweets any more and you will spend the next year just losing weight and getting into shape.
sweet foods used to be our friends but we have new friends now. Rest and get ready. It’s going to be a good year for you, but you’re recovering from major surgery so go easy on yourself. I couldn’t get enough water or protein in at first. It gets better. Distract yourself with shows and books and walk your hallway and sip your water.
Im almost one year from surgery and I promise you won’t have any regrets. It gets easier and life gets a lot nicer. And you’re on your way.

Today’s weigh in broke the BMI scale for me to enter the “Normal “ category with 24.7 BMI

I believe this is the lowest adult weight for me!
Feels amazing!

WOOT!!

ummm jeanette.....I'm guessing it depends on "how much" there is. Small sips after surgery remember.

Omg I can't believe I just read 2 pages on swallowing and it's Protein.

I think i was mentally better prepared. It is not that bad. The key is keep ur self hydrated, walk walk and walk.
Pain will be there but that is what we are opting for. Its only 5 days for me but i am super excited about future.
Best of luck and always remember this something we want Desparately.
