Way to go. I go tomorrow at 10:15. Surgery is 12:20. Terrified 😬

You have just had a GA, major abdominal surgery and you are existing on a VLCD. Of course you are going to be tired. Just be gentle with yourself. Don't push too hard. Do what you feel you can not what you feel you should.
I'm on day 12 and I'm still completely wiped

Hi everyone!!! Super excited tomorrow is the day !!!!
Surgery day !!!!
So many emotions and did ok on my liquid diet but this clear liquid last day has been a lil rough. I think it’s bc I know this is it .. the last day of old me . And Tuesday morning is the first day of the rest of my life ... hubby is very nervous 😬 but I know I got this !!!
Anyone else is having surgery tomorrow?? Excited happy nervous omg so many things going on in my head ... can’t wait 😊

I had my surgery on 1/22 and just today they let me go home. The surgery went well, the problem was that my heart rate was very high, my red blood cell count was really low, and my sugars also crashed. I also had a very large bruise at one of my incision sites that kept growing and growing.
The main concern was that I might have an internal bleed. So they ran a cat scan and found no leaks inside of me. Eventually I tracked down the source of the bruise. One of the cna's gave me a heparin shot on the belly close to that incision right after surgery.
Now I'm home having to test my blood pressure and sugars twice a day.
In general, I feel pretty good considering I just has a RNY. I have gas pains but nothing that would make me scream. Walking helps a lot even though it is the last thing you want to do when you are in pain. I can swallow liquids fine. When I get up, it feels like my internal organs just drop to the bottom of my torso. It is a very weird sensation and it hurts too. I can't believe how happy I feel when I burp or fart! Never thought that farting would be anything to be proud of. At this point, I don't even care who is there😂

So got to go home late last night.. my heart ❤️ very low after surgery
But thank god all was going test echo X-ray blood work all normal.
HR in the 40s .
Was able to have maybe 10 lil bits of Jello and Water so far . Will have so chicken broth later today let see how that goes ..
So soreness which is normal,

Not sure if this is related but this morning when I put on my glasses I’m unable to see close up very weird.if continues will call dr office

That can be an after effect of your anaesthesia. Others have mentioned it before on here.

First night was rough. I was soooooo thirsty and not allowed to drink more than 2 oz in 1 hour. Each day I got better. Today was my first day back at work. I'm still on clear which sucks. I was just allowed to try 1 oz of Protein Shake to see how it goes. I've done 2 oz and so far so good. It was nice to get a different flavor. I'm sick of sweet sugar free Jello and ice pops. Due to the holiday today, my follow up dr appt was moved to Wednesday. At that point I will be able to move to the next food phase which I'm excited about. I've been in clear over a week. You will do great, dont worry. I tried my hardest not to he nervous but at the hospital before surgery my BP was 188/95. Thankfully its gone down. Please try to sleep when you are tired so that you will have the energy to walk walk walk .

Mine is tomorrow too. Today I am really hungry but I also did ok on the liver diet. This weekend I've been "nervous cleaning" Particularly during food commercials. I keep getting up and cleaning, sorting, organizing away.

I having mines tomorrow also just got my check in time....emotions all over the place

I had my surgery yesterday. Dr. said everything went great. Surgery took 40 minutes.
A little soreness, but that is as expected. Going home from the hospital tomorrow am.

My surgery is scheduled for January 21st and I get more excited every day. I can’t wait to start this journey and lose this extra weight. I’m on my pre-op diet now and it’s not too bad so far but it’s definitely going to be an interesting almost-three weeks until my surgery date.

Omg i just started my pre op diet ..
my day will soon be there and having a roller coaster of emotions all at once .. just getting over a cold going to last follow up on Thursday for the final ok !!!! So excited 🤗

hey there! i am only 3 weeks post-sleeve, but i felt completely normal by day 5. my diet progression is super slow, so i hope when i get to regular foods, i will feel a difference. i have no problem getting 75 oz of Water in per day, plus 90 grams of Protein thru Protein Shakes

Im also 1/22. Hoping everything will go well. Do you feel prepared?

Just heard from surgeon office surgery was moved to 1/22 . I’m ok with that very nervous but excited as well . Lots of luck to those who are having surgery soon
