Your doing awesome, I totally agree, getting all that liquid in is tough if your not used to drinking all the time. Im still struggling with that aspect two weeks out. I find i often have 32oz left to drink by the end of the day and im sipping Water by my bed just to reach the target... first world problems.
Going for my 2 week check up tomorrow. Also weigh in day is tomorrow for myself so im excited about that. Hopefully the scale is still moving.

I’m almost one week post op and every day i feel more like myself! I’m def dealing with head hunger/urge to eat (chew!). But I know that’s mental! Really right now my hardest part is sleep, I am NOT a back sleeper and my back is killing me lately!!! Other then that, I’ve been trying hard to get all my liquids in, it’s hard!!!

Hello all
I am new here and this is my first post. I am on a countdown for a 12/18/18 surgery date.
Super excited. Wish we luck!

I am on day two post-op is it just me or is it almost impossible to drink 64 oz this soon. Yesterday I drank 17 and today so far I am at 20.

Im 8 days out and everything is going amazing. My plan had me on puree on day 2 and I have tolerated everything that I have put in my little tummy so far. Even some chili that I got adventurous and blended the heck out of! Four days out I went to a community Christmas display thing, I was feeling so good! Its kind of bizarre how well things are going, I almost don't want to jinx it. I see my nut on the 17th and I start phase 3 foods on the 20th. So looking forward to some chunks in my life omg lol! Oh, and I have lost 8lbs already, I did a dance this morning around my house it was hilarious
Im happy to see you guys are getting your surgeries and things are moving along! Good luck to those of you still waiting! ❤️

I’m sorry to hear ur having such a time Irish. 🙁 but ur doing great keep it up I’ll find what works. Philly day 3-5 suck the worst and are the hardest when u make past that I’ll b ok. Had my surgery yesterday 11 pokes total not counting shots. Really bad gas pains. Failed the barium test 4 times. But on my way home yay!!!!!! Sip sip sip walk walk walk

So guys think I had my first experience of dumping syndrome.
Was trying some.scrambled eggs and I made them.with milk and a drop of ketchup on the side. Not.sure whicj agent was the.culprit I suspect it was the ketchup tho but I just speant an hour feeling awful after it. Shivering vomitting and woozy. Its all settled now but I can say hands up I will not be having any of those ingredients again for a while.
Anyone else experienced anything like that? Feeling a little glum about the limitations of my diet atm. Focusing on my positives though to keep me strong.

Get yourself some Protein Water, I like the strawberry one the best from vieive. They will be a godsend post op and getting used to them pre op is key.
Beware day three/four everyone has a rough day around then but it passes I reckon its the sugar/carb crash. Maybe hide from friends and family that day.
Focus on getting in the water and protein each day and set a new goal each day like maybe on day one.focus on getting the water in and then.day two.focus on hitting your protein goals and so on..

Hope that helps

I had my sleeve yesterday and everything went smoothly. My biggest complaint is the gas, it is no joke.

Had my surgery late Monday afternoon. They let me come home 24 hours later. Today, my first full day has been a little rough. Pain is not too bad, but have had too work at getting fluids in because makes me a tad sick. Just keep plugging away sipping and walking around the house and doing breathing treatment thingy:). I haven't had to take pain meds so far today, but have taken the nausea meds. Dr. said to just try to keep sipping, but not to the point I throw up. It is, after all, only day 1. Keeping things positive!

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hi so they ended 8 times to get an IV were even considering putting in my neck 🙁 my surgery got pushed back because of it. Got 2 more for blood draws 10 total. My veins r tiny deep and roll they said the dehydration make it worse. On the bright no nausea lots of pain wish I had ice chips not allowed til swallow test tomorrow ugh. Can’t wait. Been trying to walk

Surgery was at 730 this morning! I've slept most of the day. Had some nausea but nothing the meds wouldn't take care of. Been sipping Water and eating ice chips. Pain meds have kept pain under control. Gas pain has been the worse out of the three, but walking and moving around does wonders! Honestly feeling really good and happy! Hope this eases some minds of those who may be nervous! We got this!!

Omg surgery today they poked me 4 times still can’t get the IV in.

2 days until surgery super excited!!! Is there anything anyone had wished they had done surgery. Like anything they brought to the hospital or had ready for when they got home?
I stacked all the Water high enough so I wouldn’t have to be d over. I have my kiddos diaper changing stuff next to the couch since I won’t be able to lift him. Made all the cream Soups froze them in ice cube trays (each slot is an ounce) for easy accessibility. Was just wondering if there is anything else I could do.

Yikes I thought the shakes were super sweet before surgery wonder how they’ll taste in a couple days

I still have so long until purées! 4 days post op and already sick of the full liquids!!! Everything is so sweet. ☹️

You get to go to smooth already 😮 im jealous im still stuck in liquids for another 2 days altho i did trial some really loose scrambled eggs tonight and i could barely eat more than a few bites.
Sounds like your doing great tho man well done

So I’ve moved on to smooth consistency food today. It’s amazing how quickly I fill up. The best thing I ate today was 1/4 cup of mashed potato with a scoop of GENEPRO Protein (30 grams) and a tablespoon of salsa.

Posted a while back when I was originally scheduled for surgery in November. However,due to some thyroid issues I had to push it back to December. I've still been on the forum and I'm super happy for all the people who have been sleeved and for those to come! Im posting tonight because my surgery is tomorrow 😳 And I guess I'm feeling a little antsy. It's like I keep on tottering back and forth between "wow you're actually doing this" to "yay you're actually doing this." I'm really proud of how I stuck to the liquid diet for the 2 weeks, I honestly didn't think I had the discipline. Anyway, I'm super appreciative of this forum and I'm def ready to become a healthier me, so here goes!!

Absolute best of luck tomorrow you've got this!!

Wow yea for most it’s 6months. My surgery is FINALLY here!!! Tomorrow 12/11 8:30
