Hey all, sleeve done on Sep 6 and am home. Not sure if it's gas or just cramping or nausea but definitely not a fun feeling lol. Abdominal wall pain is more than I expected but trying to get up and walk through that pain. Hoe everyone is doing well!!

Day 1 of the 10 day liquid diet.. Ooooo, fun... <complete sarcasm> End it with some nice explosive diarrhea. OK, 9 more to go til surgery
-
One more week til liquid diet starts! It's starting to get real...
-
HAHAHA, Same here, I just got three amazon packages...
-
Three weeks to go til Surgery. I'll tell you the one thing that is tripping me up BIG TIME!!! I am really struggling with this no drinking while eating... That one is going to be some work back when I'm eating normally for sure
-
The broth is really good, but I did not like the noodles or the texture. Take my review with a grain of salt though, I don't like ANY of the alternative pastas either (Chickpea, cauliflower etc..)
-
There never is an easy answer here is there ?? I've got that on my list to check with the team as well, thanks all!
-
Hi all - It's not clear in any of the material given to me but when can I start adding fresh or frozen fruit to a protein smoothie? Thx
-
So what is everyone doing while playing the waiting game??? I'm eating reasonably, definitely indulging in ice cream a bit more than usual as I'm going to be saying goodbye to that for a long while ?. Getting a ton of riding in as well, taking advantage of some nice weather! Holding off on any weight training, I'll plan to start that after I get cleared after surgery. Mentally, I'm ready. Still have some lingering fear and remorse that I need to make a permanent change to my body to finish losing the weight. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Scheduled for a Gastric Sleeve on Sep 6th!!

Looking like I will have a Sep 6 surgery. Just waiting on insurance confirmation... Good luck everyone!

How long did you take off from work? I have my pre-op appt with Surgeon next week and am curious how long you gave yourself to go back. I work remote so won't be too taxed. Thanks!

LandofHopeandDreams replied to LandofHopeandDreams's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery DiscussionsThanks all! I think the unknown for me is how much will I be able to drink at one time, I basically chug 12-16 oz at each stop when I ride today....
