I had mine done in October. No complications and less invasive. I’d recommend going that way.

10/29 Sleeve, doing well over all, but like you have noticed the grazing habits sneaking back in. Working on getting that back under control. It's amazing how it can sneak back in once you let it.

10/28 Sleeve - down 32.00 since surgery but 62 since I began the journey last January 2019

I bought canned chicken and used a little low fat mayo to moisten so I could get my chicken fix. Make sure you chew like you are supposed to. I tried baby food chicken and turkey also. It wasn’t too bad. I puréed chili my husband cooked. Cottage cheese was my go to most of the time. Good luck. I’m still learning as tomorrow I’m off restriction but I’m trying to make sure to notice when I actually full.

Congrats on the surgery and great success to the future. I had mine done 10/29 with robot assisted. I only had to have the medicine to prevent blood clots while I was in the hospital. They just put it into my IV. I only had one IV and I didn't experience much pain at all. Went home next day and only took pain pills for 2 days. The pain was just discomfort.

I was told if it takes 1 hr to get your shake it's ok. There's no race on how long it should take to drink it. Just as long as you get the protein that is needed.

Only multi colored ones sugar free. Sugar free fudge ones is good when you are on full liquids after surgery thats is what my information said to me.

I’m doing well. How are you Doing? Im feeling like I can’t get all my meals in. Is anyone else having problems. I’m on the week out which is full liquids.

I only had pain for a couple of days. I never got the pain meds filled. I was taking Tylenol for my pain. I’m taking nothing now. I might have discomfort but nothing major. I hope you can get your subsided. That’s no fun.

I had my sleeve on the 29th of October. Going back to work half days on Monday. I feel I could use another week off. Im getting bored but I’m not having much energy

I had mine on the 29th. Today is the first day I’m not feeling any pain. Maybe discomfort. I have only had 2 tylonal today. I

I’m now 2 days post and I’m having a hard time getting all 4oz of my protein drink and ever is tasting horrible including water. I think my taste buds chanced unless my mouth is so dry I can’t really taste anything

I think that is excess gas. Keep walking to walk it out.

I like the ones that DressBarn sells. You can only buy them online, but I really like them.

I’m 44 from Michigan. Scheduled for sleeve on October 29th

I'm scheduled for Oct. 29th. Working on day 4 of pre-op total liquid. It's getting better, but I'm still feeling hungry. I have to remind myself why I'm doing it and keep going. Definitely talking day by day. Congrats to those of you who have had it done this month and Good luck to those who are patiently waiting.

I'm thinking of telling my parents and sisters this weekend. Surgery is the 29th of October. Why do you wish you didn't tell them? If you don't want to answer that is fine, I'm a little nervous of telling mine.

Surgery is 10/29 - I'm on day 2 of pre-op liquid diet. Carnation breakfast packet with 1/2 scoop of protein with 8 oz of skim milk - 5 times a day (3-4 hours) apart. I have to drink 64 oz water, plus I can have sugar free popsicles and jello. I'm using those as my "mid day" snacks. I'm a little worried about the weekend as this has always been my hardest time when eating.

I like you pre-op diet. Mine is totally 5 meals a day that are liquid. It consists of -1 pkg carnation breakfast light, 8 oz skim milk, and 1/2 scoop protein powder. for 14 days before and 6 days after.

That's awesome. I'm a little nervous about the pre-op diet. As I'm thinking of how am I going to do this at work. I will manage for sure. Good luck with everything and great success.

I'm scheduled for October 29th if insurance approves. Excited but nervous.

10/29 here, hopefully depending on insurance
