Hi- just trying to figure out how to use this app. I’m scheduled to get the sleeve on Nov 9th.

I am packed, Jewellery off, and family contacted. We did all the bloodwork the week before last. I just check in at 11 with Surgery at 1pm. I have been "nesting" for the last 3 weeks so I have a very clean house and have set up some light Christmas projects to do shortly after the surgery. My husband will be working from home so I'm good with that. My 19 year old daughter (my youngest ) took next week off to come and keep me company.
I Work with handicapped adults and am off for 6 weeks but I have asked to still do all the administrative work, like monthly financials and such. They will call all the time so I'll feel connected.
I'm from the Saskatoon area of Saskatchewan in Canada. Tomorrow we have to drive the 3 hours it takes to get to where the surgery will take place, They do the Surgeries on Mondays and we get discharged on Thursdays
as ready as I will ever be and excited beyond belief. I have been on Protein Drinks and clear fluids for the last 2 weeks, which was a lot easier than I expected. It was the same when I quit smoking, I got the call to enter the program on a Friday and I quit on Sunday, no issues. I want to know where all this was before I entered the program ...lol
I think/hope I'm ready. I'm starting to get a little freaked out, not about having surgery, but about how this is permanent change. I'm packed, charging up my devices, and ready to go in the morning. I'm lucky that my surgery is at 09:30, so I won't have to wait too long and ponder too much. LOL. Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

Getting ESG November 6th! So excited and nervous. Nice to meet you all:)

Well... I had the no pop part... the rest...? Ehhhh... 😀

Have my sleeve done November 10. Kind of struggling with this 2 week diet before.

I'm allowed food on my 10 day, but probably not what I had tonight. Dang it, I wanted to eat with my family ON MY BIRTHDAY. I'm still at under 600 calories for the whole day, so I didn't blow it too bad. My family was having chicken with G Hughes sugar free BBQ Sauce, bacon, and cheese, with au gratin potatoes. I passed on the potatoes, had 4 oz chicken with a spoonful of the sauce, maybe 1/4 slice of bacon, and reduced fat cheese. Came out to 270 calories. They had more, obviously... it was really nice to eat with them (other than the potatoes), though [emoji3531]
I hope everyone is doing well... I had my covid test earlier today. Hope everything is good there. Anyone else have to record their temperature for 10 days before?

Started liquid diet yesterday and it is rough! broth helps but it’s not food.. trying to stay positive

I’m day 4 and I’m a *&$#@(,% ray of sunshine

Had my surgery 10/27 and I’m feeling good. Very minimum pain and I hope it stays that way! Good luck!

actually, most people report little to no pain with these surgeries -- although they'll send you home with pain medication. If you're one of the people who does have pain from this, just take the meds when you're supposed to to keep on top of it. It'll just last the first few days, and the meds will help a lot. But the majority of us seem to have little pain from this - I had almost none.

I can’t believe surgery day is tomorrow, I’m a little anxious about what’s to follow after surgery. (Mainly the pain)
