Recommended Posts

Hi All

I am scheduled for tomorrow and so excited that I can hardly concentrate on anything.......

Now I feel as if I have forgotten all the info that I have accumulated over the last few months.

Can somebody please remind me of pre and post op procedures, diet etc.. I will go over the threads again. But I am all frazzled.

YAY :):sad0::lol0::lol0::lol0::lol0::lol0:

XBander - congratulations on your surgery -how exciting (and yes, nerve wracking too). It's a little too late for the pre-op diet - other than you shouldn't eat or drink 12 hours before your surgery. Post-op I am sure your doctor will provide you with a post-op diet; if not, the one that Dr Aceves uses is pretty good. Most importantly - walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip. Don't lift anything over 15 lbs. for 6 weeks. Oh yes, and post as soon as you feel up to it to share your story!

Oh congratulations! I am still waiting for my date, so i know how excited and anxious you must be feeling.

Just think, the new YOU begins tomorrow...you are so lucky. From what I've read on this forum, I'd say you need to get to the store and make sure you have some Crystal Lite, chicken broth, SF Jello, and SF popsicles.

Good luck tomorrow, and post as soon as you can to let us know how you're doing.:sad0:

Wow, another lucky girl! You know what just blows my mind? Is that there are sooooo many people getting this sleeve done! Imagine before I only knew about the RNY and lap band, since then I've learned so much about the sleeve. . . it's amazing! I never even knew the thing existed! . . .

I just got in from the doctors(my PCP ), and there was a new nurse there and she was discussing my weight loss and I told her I had the Verticle Sleeve done, and she had the band........ a few minutes later she commented that she had never heard of it, and what does it do? fit over the band??? I was about floored! But I just explained the procedure very simply.....

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
