I’m new here and I recently had my surgery September 19th.

I can't tell you how jealous I am of y'all with plans that move to puree after a week or two, my plan is three weeks of liquids. I'm chomping at the bit for next week when I can move on lol.

I think it’s relative for everyone. Some of us have more to lose than others. Some of us lose faster than others due to age, gender, muscle mass…that being said I started at 220 for the preop diet, was 202 surgery day (9/20) and this morning I was 201. I am still pretty swollen and sore, so I am not expecting any major changes to happen for a while. Slow and steady wins the race!

Hi! Newbie here!

I've been lurking forever but couldn't bring myself to post because I just KNEW that something would happen somehow and I wouldn't be able to get my surgery, but... I had my final pre-op testing a couple of days ago and everything went great, so here I am! It's very weird to go from "I'm scared to get my hopes up so I won't even think about the surgery" to realizing that my surgery is on Tuesday and I need to start getting ready.

I'm in Norway so my surgery is covered by the national health care system, but there was a whole process I had to go through - visit with an obesity specialist, a nutritionist, mandatory group classes... it seemed impossibly long when I first started, but wow, it has really flown by.

Newbie to posting but have been reading for a while. I have surgery on Sept 27 and am on day 5 of 10 of preop diet. Nervous and excited.

hi everyone! newbie here.

my surgery is in two days, 9/22. the nerves have set in, and the liquid diet is stressing me a bit lol excited for the journey but full of “what ifs”

I had the sleeve on the 7th and I’m also having a lot of burning pain in my incision when I move certain ways. I’ve been icing it whenever I can and that helps. But I know what you mean about stoping you in your tracks! One wrong move and owww!! Also I found that whenever I sip something that if I pat my upper chest it helps the burps come out at once and they don’t get stuck.

I’m sorry you’re not feeling great though, I hope that gets better soon for you!

I’m a new poster I usually just read everything! Everyone on here is so supportive. Thanks for that! Surgery GS is tomorrow excited and a little nervous!

Just had my gastric sleeve sept 14!

I’m really struggling with getting enough protein… I think my Water intake is ok. I get a little apple sauce, cottage cheese, and sugar free pudding in here and there…. But I never feel the fullness cue they talk about, but idk if I’m eating enough to feel it either because I’m afraid to over eat. Hopefully I get more comfortable as time goes on.
