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’m not sure. Each surgeon may have their own requirements I just had my surgery a week ago on the 27th

I was told to lose 10lbs but I didn’t lose it until my pre-op liquid diet. I actually lost 15lbs in two weeks

My birthday is today. My surgery would have been today if it wasn’t the holiday. So I went with Friday the 27th. How are you feeling?

Did anyone else have bad chest pains after surgery? I’m 3 days post op and it hasn’t went away. It comes and goes. They did an EKG before I left the hospital and said I was ok .

I’ve tried the recliner and it’s so uncomfortable for me. I slept in my bed last night. How is your pain? I’m 2days post op and I’m still feeling it alot especially my right side. Sometimes I feel I have heart burn

Hello I’m 1 day post op. How are you able to find good sleeping positions? What’s your favorite sleeping position without pain

1 day post op. I was in so much pain yesterday none of the pain medication was working for me. I was able to drink without feeling nauseous. My breakfast tray consist of protein shake, milk, veggie broth and decaffeinate coffee. I should be getting discharged today even though I’m still having pain

I made it through the week without anymore slip ups. The first week was brutal. My surgery is scheduled tomorrow at 7:30am. I have to be at the hospital by 5:30am ??

Lucky you! I’ve been struggling these last two weeks. Congratulations on your surgery date. I’m scheduled for tomorrow at 7:30am

My doctors office just called. I have to be there tomorrow morning at 5:30am. Surgery is scheduled for 7:30am. I’m so excited and nervous

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.

Sounds like you’re doing great. Did you get discharged today

I’m definitely going to pack my heating pad. I see it’s a must have. Comfortable clothes to ride home in. I’m praying I’m only one day. My birthday is Monday I want to be home.

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?

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.

@liveaboard15 thank you for responding. This gives me hope. I just ate some sugar free jello. Mind over matter. I’m soooooo hungry

I have 5 days left to surgery. I think we will be fine based off other comments I have read.

What did you eat? I started my liquid diet on the 13th

I have two weeks preop liquid diet I feel so defeated. I just found this forum because I really need support. I have 5 days left before my surgery 5/27/22 and I have slipped up. Actually, a couple slip ups. It’s crazy how some of us are on a strictly liquid diet and some are able to have lean meats and veggies

These last 5 days I’m going to strictly follow this liquid diet.
