IM SCHEDULED FOR SEPT 12

Just be careful that if you eat you don't eat fried food or super greasy food as it will upset your stomach. I did cheat a few times during my pre op diet but if i did i had roasted chicken or salads. You will be fine and your almost there so you must be getting excited and nervous at the same time. I wasn't nervous till they wheeled me into the OR and by that point it was no going back!

How are you feeling 3 days out? Are you able to drink anything? Do you still need the pain meds? I'm going in on the 19th and am so curious...

Surgery scheduled for the 18th. I am not doing a great job at my pre meal plan. Has anyone started? How is that going?

I'm doing well. I have had some raging moments about food. I have not cheated YET but this is not the easiest. My surgery is on Sept. 17. i have got to say this pre-op diet makes you want to cut your own stomach...lol... I make my choices one day at a time. This pre-op diet is the start of a new life.

Hardest thing for me to remember at 6 days out is to not chug my drinks! I keep grabbing my water and taking a few swigs at a time. Ouch! When will I learn?

I am feeling great actually. I cant even tell i had anything done to my stomach (yet) since i am only on liquids. I do notice if i take too big of a sip that ill get a momentary pressure in my stomach and then its gone...that or the gas bubbles are a trip. lol I have drank protein drinks, jello, broth, water and crystal light and no issues getting in my required amount. As for pain killers they gave me a low dose oxy which i have been taking about two a day...which i will probably stop today. Its just the incisions (mainly 2 of them) that are sore but otherwise i can easily tolerate it and i want to start driving again tomorrow so i need to be off them.

i know they said not to but i used a straw the first couple days... it helped me to remember not to chug. The little bit of gas bubbles i got didn't hurt but just felt funny. Now i seem to be good at just sipping all day long. Until I can actually start eating solids i cant really feel any restriction because the liquid just goes through.

Thanks glad you are feeling better so soon, I have 2 kids and am hoping to be able to get around as fast as possible.

well friends my day is getting closer i so cant wait

I was sleeved on the morning of the 7th and my worst fears were unfounded. Got home from the hospital at around 3 today, and it's no picnic, but not as bad as I imagined it would be. For those of you going later this month, try to remember the Biotene spray for your dry mouth, and the Gas-EX strips for the gas. They really do make a difference.

We don't own a scale, so I have to wait until my Dr. appointment on Thursday to find out if I lost anything yet. Best of luck to the rest of the September Sleevers.

Much love,

MC

I'm September 14th!!! I can't wait! any sleeve brothers or sisters out there?

Hey, everybody. I planned a day of cheating, my last meal before my surgery. I went to a Italian place and now I have taken my laxatives and one more day of clear liquids. I'm very excited. Total of 11lbs lost and on Tuesday at 12:30pm the beginning of the rest of my life.

We're sleeve sisters. I find out tomorrow what time I'm supposed to come in on Wed. Good luck with everything!

I am scheduled for September 18th with Dr. David Kim at Baylor Trophy Club Medical Center in Fort Worth. I'm nervous about the procedure but ready to take the next step on my journey.

Wow lucky you.. I started to go to Dr. Kim and he wouldn't do his surgery anywhere but Forest Park Medical in North Dallas.. A hospital that he owns part of... I changed to Dr. Smith at Fort Worth Lap Band and I will be at Baylor Trophy Club on the 12th... Three more wake ups!
