I’m hurting too!!! They gave me children’s tylenol to take, Cherry flavored. It’s absolutely disgusting and I can’t even choke it down. So a few days post op I refused to take it anymore. Well now I’m on day 6 and I’m forcing myself to gag it down because I know I need it for the inflammation inside my stomach. Everything hurts. I cried myself to sleep last night because of my pain. I don’t want to lose my strength. But if I try to do too much then I’m screwed. I hope your pain is better.

My date is the 29th and I feel you completely on the Pre-op diet. I have never felt sicker or more exhausted in my life.

I went in for sleeve surgery on August 29. Woke up in ICU. They couldn’t complete surgery. Said that I might have a tear in my esophagus. After 2 CT scans and having an ENT doc put a camera down my throat they still weren’t sure if it was a tear or just tissue. I have a small mouth and throat. Wondering if it was tore, did they do that during intubation? Going back Sept 23 to have surgery finished. Needless to say I’m nervous this time around. Have a had tubes hanging out of my stomach since last attempt at the surgery. Has anyone else ever heard of this happening?

8/27 ladies, best of luck and speedy recovery! I wish I was close. I'm 2 months away as of tomorrow. I made my appointment in June and finally had my first doc visit the end of July and surgery on 10/28. I'm so happy for you all, keep us posted how you're doing!

About to shower using my Hibiclens Sponge and try to turn in early. TOMORROWS OUR BIG DAY #SouthernPhoenix and all the August 27th sleevers!!!!

Sending prayers for a speedy recovery.

Wishing all of you successful surgeries and easy recoveries!

Pudge.vsg. I’m the 29th also. Today is day 7 of 10 for the 10 day diet. Yesterday was my worst day. You was crabby and wanting real food. We can do this!!! Thursday will be here before we know it! And we will only get healthier from there!!!

I am about a week behind you for surgery. Excited and a little nervous. I guess I am fortunate that I don't have to do the pre-op as long. I just need 2-3 days of it, because they don't want me to go below my BMI requirement.

Wishing everyone smooth surgeries and speedy recoveries!

I'm August 27th at 7:30am I'm on full liquids right now, tomorrow is clears and then the big day. Nervous but mostly just excited to get it all over with.

I’m new here but I’ve been lurking since May. My date of surgery is August 28th. I’m so excited and scared at the same time. I feel as though a major part of myself is about to die. I’m now tryna focus on how to fill that void. As for pre-op, I definitely struggled in the beginning but so far everything is going smoothly. I send you all my prayers and may we all have a speedy/easy recovery.

Hello surgery twin! I'm August 27th as well - 7:30am! The liquid diet isn't so bad since I've done so many 3, 5, 10 day smoothie, military, etc., diets in the past. I felt a little weak today but determined to make it through by thinking of the smaller me ; ) Best wishes on surgery day and the changes to come!!!

I'm grateful for this tool but it has turned me off from food altogether. I think all the changes has lead by body to boycott me. I want nothing when I eat I feel instant nausea. I decided to work on hydration. So at nearly 6 weeks post-op I'm still on shakes and crystal light.

A couple years prior to wls I had lost 90 pounds on my own with tracking my food and exercise and I did it in 9 months. I did put it back on the following year after falling into a depression over the death of a parent, the 90 plus 10. The month before surgery I started talking to family/friends about getting serious about weight loss again. If they asked how I was doing it I would say the same way I did last time, tracking my food and exercise, which is true I am doing those things.
While I was recovering from surgery I told family/friends that I had the flu and it was kicking my butt. This became the reason I couldn't be social for a while or wasn't up to doing much... still getting over that flu, man it was a tough one. It worked for me.

I am 4 days post and my tummy hurts! The larger of my incisions is on the upper right side of my abdomen and is so swollen it's like a knot. Add in the never-ending bloating and gas pain...geesh. To add insult to injury my Dr. Decided to change my BP MEDS to one with no diuretic at discharge. I think that's the reason for the horrible bloat. Because of bloat & gas I seem to be gaining. This is depressing

I'm about 10 days out from surgery and when I saw my surgeon for my 1 week I asked her about that, she said it was normal and that it would go away and it did just a few days later. I found sometimes taking a deep breath when the pain started helped significantly. Hang in there, it'll pass.
