On my second day all I wanted was sleep and for the gas pain to go away 😭

I can definitely relate. I am 12 days post op, I feel better but I still need a nap. How are you feeling?

2 days post op and I'm very exhausted. Is this normal?

Surgery today! I'm very nervous and excited 😁

I forgot to mention I can have two 100 calorie Snacks between meals as well. I find myself gulping the Protein Drinks just to get them down because I have yet to find one I like. As far as the Lean Cuisine go I like roasted chicken and vegetables so I have eaten that the last two days.

Ok sounds yummy! I can have 1 fresh fruit as a snack. What Protein Drinks have you tried so far?

That’s great good luck to you too! I am on the pre-op diet. I have two Protein Shakes and one lean cuisine under 300 calories everyday. How is your pre-op diet?

So far it hasn't been to bad. I also drink Protein Shakes twice a day. sugar free ice pops when I have a sweet tooth. I have been eating grilled chicken for dinner. What kind of lean cuisine have you been eating? I'm thinking of trying those as well.

I finally got my new date. August 3rd. I was originally suppose to have RNY on March 30th but COVID delayed me. I am so ready to do this!

We are surgery twins! Good luck! Are you currently on the Pre-OP diet?

I recommend getting a Bariatric Bear or Moose from Teddy Tech inc. because you are going to need something to help you manage the pain and keep you company at night. Me, I have a moose with a T-shirt that says that he will help me "bear" my surgery. Be sure to do your 5x of walking in the hospital (this is how many times they wanted me up and walking) each day, do your breathing thing 10x an hour to make sure your lungs are working properly after surgery, and try to get in and document how much of the liquids you are getting in each time they bring you a tray (work on getting in as much as you can so you can go home and not stay an extra day because they will be checking your liquid intake). Do not be afraid to tell them you need anything, your IV machine needs attention (ie: thing is beeping), that you are done using the bathroom (they might monitor your urine for color and frequency). And most of all, relax because you are going to need as much rest as you can get in the hospital since they will be checking on either you or your roomate frequently.

Thank you so much for this info!

Congrats! My surgery date is August 3rd.

My sleeve is scheduled for Aug. 3rd. I'm so excited and nervous 😅

Hey I'm currently in the Pre-OP stages for VSG. Looking for some advice and tips. Or someone to support me get through this new journey. I wanted to see if there are any sleevers on here from the Hudson Valley?? 🙂

I don't have my official surgery date yet. But my coordinator said they are aiming for the last week in July. 😀
