I wouldn't worry too much because you're just two days post-op and you've been resting, so your heart hasn't had a reason to raise its rate much.

So I’m in my room and Doing ok. Woke up in a LOT of pain. They won’t let me get up and walk and I am a little annoyed. I’m also nodding off when I am trying to type. Good luck everyone on the schedule tomorrow or this week New me is ready to rock and roll.

Going to check Aldi's tomorrow, sounds like a good Protein price to me.😝

Do you have an "Aldi" near you? Their prices are way cheaper than anywhere else. They also have a Protein powder that I believe is very similar to the Unjury, about 90 calories more per serving, but actually has more protein and it's only $14 for a much larger size.

Lip balm is a must

good luck

GasX is pretty important. Either the chewables or strips. My husband pre-made Bone Broth for me and froze them in quart sized bags. Also, a couple of compression undershirts help to support you so your belly isn’t hanging.

They are! I wish these came in more flavors.

My name is Alice and I’m 20 years old! My surgery is June 3rd and I’m currently on the pre operation diet. I started at 263 at 5’8 and I’m now at 247 after a week of shakes and some better choices on eating beforehand. I’m having the sleeve 😊

I'm going to have to try those. I love strawberry lemonade but it has to be made just ride or it just tastes like syrupy ****

I've been slowly grabbing things as I go to the store. I came across these Vitamin Water Zeros and they are so good. I love them cause they have Zero sodium!

Yay me!! Just got my new treadmill today. I live in Tennessee where the heat and humidity are terrible, and I can't imagine trying to walk outside after surgery without passing out. What do all you June sleevers do for exercise?

I've got so much sf Jello and sf pudding to make but I dont want to yet. I dont want to get everything prepped and ready and it go bad before I have a chance to eat it. Ugh. I feel like there are a million things I need to get done before surgery so that I won't have to struggle to get anything done post op. So much organizing, cleaning, and prepping that I have to do. Anyone feel like its crunch time now?

I just had to start a 1500 calorie diet. Surgery is June 3rd. It's just depressing cause I'm like geez 1500...how many calories WAS I eating [emoji15]

From the only other male in the group, Welcome! You got this...we all got this!! Thank you for your service.

Top of the Evening Everyone,
I received a call from the Pre-Surgery Team, today.
I have to meet with the anesthesiologist do go over the anesthesia, etc.
She asked a serious of questions and they were relatively simple...Yes, No.... etc.
She asked when do I start the "clear diet" and I told her, "Shhhhhh don't remind me!!"🤣🤣
Well anyways, the answer was only for one day and that's the day before surgery, June 3.
But as of Monday, I will be in the liquid diet phase...... Mentally, I know I got this........... But I am going to have a great time on Sunday at the cookout......😋
Ladies and Gentlemen, it's getting close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

June 12th, very nervous, Glad I found this forum

Hi there! I’m Ashlay. 38 years old until Wednesday and have one daughter. I originally started my journey in 2017 and got to the end of the process to learn my insurance had an exclusion. I no longer have that insurance and am scheduled for my fully covered duodenal switch on June 4th.

June 17th! Cleared and ready. Only 2 more medical visits and pre-op labs. Whee, what a wild ride! Nerves are now on edge, but I’m looking toward my better future.

Hi! My name is Sarah and I am scheduled for a VSG June 3rd!!! I have 4 kiddos, an awesome Boyfriend, 2 dogs and 2 goats. My highest wt was 349lbs. I've yo-yod for years and am currently sitting at 343lbs :/ I love volleyball, running and basketball and I can't wait to be able to do those things again.

50% wow, I never really thought of it that way. It did take me a while, I inquired about it in Aug of last year and my ins did not req pre reqs but it still took me till Feb to jump in. I had a bad mind set though and ate really bad. Just kept telling myself I better eat this and that because I'll never have it again. Then finally straightened my ass up yesterday. I dont want a fatty liver and then have to open me up. My pre op teaching appt is the 23rd so we'll see what surgeon puts me on then.
