Hey beautiful why a new date still happy for you.

Scheduling with the dr...

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't been on but we have had internet issues the past few days. I am officially one week out today. I don't have an appt. till my 3rd week which wont be until 30th. But i'm feeling better everyday! I've lost 10lbs. since the surgery! But I'm still full of lots of ari and gases so that might factor into too. I'm doing great with my fluid intake, LOVE all my soups that my Dad makes for me! The supprot from ALL my family has been amazing! Even my daughter in Georgia, (that's about to give birth Nov. 4th) It's been great so far. I am so very happy I made the decision. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOUR UPCOMING :) SURGERIES!!!

My surgery will be 10/29 I'm excited! I start liquid diet 10/15. Then it'll be 3 Weeks liquids, 3 Weeks mushy. So I should be back on solids on Dec. 10th if I'm calculating correctly...Kinda bummed because Our Holidays kick off with Halloween, then it's daughter's birthday, then Thanksgiving...so she's asking me if we're still celebrating I said, "Of course!" It's not all about The eating. I hope I can keep this attitude through it all, lol. I think so...The numbers dropping on The scale will be my incentive.

October 15th and I don't think I am doing so well on the pre op diet

I'm the 15th as well. Why do you think you didn't do well on the pre diet?

Okay, I am a cheater! Day two of liquids and I cheated both days. I am ReALlY struggling!! I just have to make it 5 more days!! I am sure after surgery it will be easier!

Hi guys I was sleeved on Oct 2 so I'm about 11 days post op. I know there were alot of us for the same day. Hope all of my 10/2 buddies and everyone else too are doing good.

I just want to know if anybody has tried rice meaning Chinese food and how did it go????? I'm dying for Chinese food.....

October 23rd for me. I'm in the 6 month insurance waiting period now. I have my sleep study scheduled for 08/21 & Psych eval scheduled for 08/10. Other than those last two' date=' I HOPEFULLY have jumped through all the other hoops (Cardiologly clearance, Pulmonology clearance, Neurology clearance, 2 support group meetings, Nutritional education). My BMI is 40.

I am going to be beyond devastated if my insurance denies me when my time comes. That has been my biggest fear throughout this whole process.[/quote']

Mine is Oct 23 too!

Update had my upper gi no leaks I'm starting ice chips and look fowardcto chicken broth tonight.

How are you feeling? Honestly?

Okay' date=' I am a cheater! Day two of liquids and I cheated both days. I am ReALlY struggling!! I just have to make it 5 more days!! I am sure after surgery it will be easier![/quote']
