So quick update, I had surgery Monday and I’m down 5 lbs in about 5 days. That doesn’t include the Water weight I had to loose from the hospital. So I’m 5lbs lighter than when I walked into the hospital on Monday. So 5lbs in 6 days is pretty amazing in my book!

I received my time today, I have to be there at noon surgery is at 145, holy cow I’m nervous! And I am going to do the last of my shopping this weekend, I’ve been looking up puréed recipes since I will be on that for 4 weeks. We only do Clear Liquids in the hospital.

My pre op time frame is 10 days Protein and 2 days clear liquid starting on the April 17th. I went to the preop and post OP class today with dietitian and nurse. Post up on day one is clear liquid and advance to puree starting 2nd day after surgery, or while at the hospital on day one. They told us to do our best on the puree stage. This last for 4 weeks. We have to make sure we get in 50g protein and 48-64 ozs of Water. I was suprise that puree stage is so soon, but dietitian said it is to get our digestive track moving again so that we can use the muscles.

OK, too funny I replied to the other post then saw this and thought omg twins.. I have lost 6 pounds as well.

Oh and I lost 6 lbs!

Alwzla do you feel prepared? I’m planning on finishing shopping for what I need this weekend and then pack for the hospital. I can’t believe it’s next week.

Hello everyone. April 1st sleeve surgery here. Surgery went fine but had a first bad night. Nausea and vomiting but felt like a new person the next morning. My bp skyrocketed and I ran a fever but all gone today. Pain is minimal but it is hard getting Water down. I want you to know that we all respond differently but even that minor complication isn't going to stop me.

Saw my surgeon today for the final visit before Tuesday, does anyone else have to have shots after surgery? I have to give myself a shot for three days when I am home it’s a blood thinner not heparin it starts with a L I also have to drink potassium and take Pepcid for 4 months

Don't worry about it @CajunSam I think most are ignoring the GoFundMe.
In the mean time wishing you an easy and successful surgery oh my how the time flew from when you started this April post. Can't believe your time is almost here.

It’s almost showtime! Still nervous . Prayers are welcome!

From the earlier today. Feeling better. It was tough there for a couple hours but finally the pain is more manageable and I’m able to get some decent sleep.

Finished my surgery this morning! Feeling sore and had nausea this morning , which is gone now. They let me sleep most of the day , but will be walking soon.

Wow. I am sitting in pre op waiting for IV, etc. You just captured all the feelings I've been having all morning. Thanks for sharing. You're going to do great today!

Okay wow this is it. I am about to call my hospital ride. I have to be at the hospital an hour from now. I just took "before" photos of myself, front, sides and back. I see a tired girl. I see a girl too young and too happy to look this tired. I see her weighted down by anger, sadness, childhood s****l abuse, insecurity, loneliness and such. I see so much weight put on that wasn't my fault but my stomach malfunctioning after too much ghrelin, too much packing in food, too much stuffing down emotions with different foods.
I am so grateful to my surgical team and to God for giving me this upcoming second chance. I can see from bone structure and from my memories and old photos what I used to look like, who I used to be. That girl is trying to break out of a prison made of food and fat. I can see her in these photos. I feel emotional right now.
I am now logging off to go to the hospital. I will try to say hi again when the procedure is over. So grateful. Not a fear or regret in the world. Best wishes to all the April Babies here today. It is time.
