Wish my last meal was memorable. Took forever to put my kiddo down so it ended up being Raman noodles lol

8 days till I’m sleeved woohoo. Tomorrow I have to have an upper GI. Has anyone had this? How did you feel after?

When are you getting sleeved? My big day is this Friday! I'm trying to stay calm.

9 more days til surgery. I hate these stupid shakes. I made through my son’s birthday yesterday without eating anything except my shakes and everyone telling me their opinion on my surgery 😞. I’m just ready to get it over with.

Are you fully liquid? I have two shakes + 4 oz of Protein and unlimited starchy vegetables. You got this! The cheese is just a tiny blip on your radar

Keep on top of the liquids! I’m 5 days liquid still have 10 to go. Day 3 I got fuzzy and confused called the doctor I was behind on the shakes and Water they said it was dehydration. Got busy at work and didn’t think about it. Good luck!

@kjuno pizza would be too hard for me so I feel your pain. It’s the one thing I really have a hard time resisting. I freakin love pizza 😢
and my work luncheon- I requested a few healthier things that I know I can have and not feel like I went off the deep end. As long as it’s during the day and there is no wine around, I am fine. I am trying to cold turkey quit red wine since I know it’s a huge no no post op.

One step at a time... literally. Keep walking and use ice packs to help with the swelling. Congrats to you!! I already feel that everything I had to do to get here was worth it. I am 4 days post op and feeling better each day.

No the protocol here is to stay two nights as standard. Which suits me as I was in no shape to go anywhere this morning.
Still cant believe how much better I am today. Gas pain is no joke. Also had a litte gas out the back end which is also kind of a victory.. tmi I know but there yah go.

Do the preop diet.. All liquid and some of it being Protein Shakes. I was down 20 pounds in the two weeks I had to do the pre op diet before surgery.

I had mine a year ago on 12/11/17. Hang in there. It all goes so fast!

Hey guys, im day one post op not gonna lie I had a really rough day yesterday andlast night all due to gas pain. Was pretty brutal feeling way better today though so I guess if it happens it does go away eventualy. They gave me a difene suppository this morning and tha worked a treat.
Feeling a bit tender still but allowed free fluids now. Hoping each day is a step in the right direction now.

I am so excited! I am in Florida and I have the same day. 12 days left 😁

Can you believe it’s December already and it’s our surgery month ?! I’m from Australia and new to this site and am scheduled for VSG on dec 13th I am so excited !!

Hi Everyone.... sorry for the delay in my post, but I have been sleeping/healing most of the time.
My day started at 3am to drink the presurgery ClearFast... then off to the hospital for arrival by 6am. Surgery time at 7:30. Every thing ran very smoothly. They gave me another recap of what the surgery would entail. I arrived in the OR at 7:38 and that is the last thing I remember before waking up in the recovery room. My surgeon said that it only took him 45 minutes to do his job... then off to tell my husband how it went. I was in my room at about 10am and feeling pretty well. I was up and walking about an hour after that.
My pain never went above 4... but that could be because of the anesthesia still in my system. For me, the worst part at this stage was the heartburn. My belly was very tender, but nothing that a few ice packs couldn't help. I actually stole the reusable ice pack and am still icing. Hoping to get the swelling down.
I had 5 incisions... the largest one was where they removed my stomach through. According to my surgeon, I had a very large stomach. Normal is 7 inches.... mine was 12. So, needless to say, the largest incision is showing more bruising than the other 4.
I am very happy that it is over... Now onto recovery. It is a little weird being excited that I can finish a Protein Shake (even tho it took 3 hours to finish!!)

Well i got up and took my shower with the soap they gave me and my wife and i was at st.francis hospital at 5:30 am!! We went to the 3rd floor to check in and the lady could not find my name on the list so she checked in the surgeons file and found where my surgery had been cancelled because my live enzymes were very high
So now i have to go to another GI doctor and get clearance then reschedule im so disappointed i just want to die!!!!!!

Getting sleeved in the UK but was born in Boston. The mind plays awful tricks on you. Two days ago, 12 days in to my pre op diet my dad had a bowl of cornflakes and I thought id have ti restrain myself as I wanted a bowl so bad. Somehow resisted. This is going to take all the mental power we have to get the results were looking for.

Focusing on the reasons I want to loose weight to get me through. Back pain heart arrythmias and living my fullest life.

We got this.

You scoundrel and your one week pre-op diet!
Pre-anesthesia? How did that work out? I had pre-op testing the other day, but just to check that my body was in a condition for surgery.
Be strong! I'm there crying with you too!

Hang in there!
That will be me in 2 weeks!!

I see that you may not be in the United States, but we have a place here called Bonchon that has delicious Korean fried chicken. My coworkers ordered that last night and the smell was mesmerizing. A lot of my coworkers know about my surgery so they didn't offer it and tried to be as quiet about eating it as possible, but I was kind of sad and angry at myself. What's funny is that I knew this is how I was going to feel but the brain is kind of an a*****e sometimes right?
I am excited and nervous with you too! You are going to do a fantastic job!

Day 2,3,4 are the worst of the liquid/pre op diet I thought I was having a stroke on day 3. Just goes to show how real a drug sugar is.
My surgery is tomorrow just finished pre op today. A mix between excited and nervous now.

VSGDavid I understand. I’m completely on liquids too and I have to make my kiddo dinner and can’t eat it 😫 except mine is 15 days.

I was there this morning. I was literally about to puke drinking a Protein smoothie. Literally. I had to regroup before I finished it. I have been going between savory and sweet, but good grief... I understand. I am not allowed any food at all. So, I am definitely with you.. almost there.
