    So I’m in the beginning of week three and I have not lost any weight all week. I’m also constipated. I’m down a total of 28lbs since the preop liquid diet. I started at 249lbs and I’m now 221lbs. What are you taking for constipation? How long is the stall period?

    I've been taking Miralax and within a couple of days I've been passing, it's a temporary solution but I think once we're on solids we'll be good. I heard of the 3 week stall, and Ive also heard that its normal and isn't something we should worry about. Stay strong!

    I’m soooo hungry! I keep eating sugar free popsicles, broth, Gatorade zero. It’s torture cooking my family full course meals everyday. I’m excited for the phone call tomorrow to let me know what time I need to be at the hospital Friday. My doctor said I’m first in the list so I should be having my surgery around 7:30am.

    Yes! I can TOTALLY RELATE I am definitely anticipating that phone call and yes the hunger is so real, I've asked my family not to talk about food, I just make the food and leave😆

    Yay! We can go through this together. I see you’re in New York. I’m in Cleveland. How are you feeling? Did you have to do the 2wk Clear Liquids? Did you slip up?

    Cleveland yay! I definitely slipped up the day I was supposed to start! It's been ok, I've been distracting myself, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I feel miserable adjusting, it's times like this that I realize that food was such a crutch, and this procedure is definitely the tool that will help me.

    How are you feeling?? So excited for us!

    Hello everyone I’m new to the group. My surgery is in two days May 27th via gastric sleeve. I’m excited and definitely nervous. I see everyone is talking about packing their bag. I didn’t think I would need one considering I’m supposed to be out the next day. Can someone check in and let me know how you’re feeling and diet after surgery.

    Surgery Twin!!! Finally! I have the same date for Surgery you are not alone🤗

    Sleeved yesterday and doing GREAT! My anesthesiologist gave me a nerve block and also put an anti-nausea patch behind my ear that is supposed to last 3 days! So I’ve had zero nausea or vomiting- so far. Pain has been very tolerable after the first 4-5 hrs from surgery. So far I’ve managed to drink Water, apple juice and chicken broth without issue. Not much has pain . Feeling very fortunate and looking forward to going home.

    Wow!! Congrats!! Thank you for the insight, I'll be making those requests if I don't get that in 2 weeks!!

    Hi All,
    Currently, my surgery is scheduled for May 3rd. I was wondering if there were any other people on a similar timeline who I could buddy up with for support and discussion. It will be covered by the insurance IF the results of my sleeping test were negative. I find that out on Thursday. Then the surgery is a go ahead for the 3rd. I am anxious about both.

    Hope everything went well!
