I Am in the process of completing my insurance requirements and although I dont have a date,my patient advocate stated probably mid october. I wish it were sooner. Waiting is killing me!

Jillb lets do this girl!! Oxtober 17th!! Ill try to check in soon after to say how it went..

My date is set for October 25th. I am so excited despite the two week liquid diet. I cant wait to get this roller coaster moving to a better healthier lifestyle.

Congrats on ur vsg! Howz is going? What are u able to eat/drink? Im assuming all went smooth with the surgery...! Any tips?

I'm drinking my shakes but I'm eating oatmeal, and I don't know if I can have it but I have been eating it three days and that's spinach. I chew very well haven't had any problems with drinking or eating. I walked 30 mins tonight and I felt great afterwards....loving this life and the people in it.

I too was sleeved the 10th at 7:30 am lol bout same here really tired soreness getting better I had 2 hernia repairs along with mine. I am sleeping in my bed and nothing could feel better than your own bed! Try rolling onto your side instead of sitting up its alot easier. Not getting all my fluids in either ' date=' I am really trying thou. Tired beyond tired is the word. I hope I bounce back soon. Good luck keep in touch <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> we can do this!!!![/quote']

So I slept in my bed last night. It was nice still woke up quite a bit, but my back doesn't really ache this morning like it has been. So that is a plus!! Just keep reminding myself one day at a time, and I am so ready to feel normal again and have some energy back!!! I had planned on asking my doctor if I could go back to work after 1 week, but I am pretty sure I am going to take the 2 full weeks off!!

We will do this! Good luck gf.... I'll try to check in asap after surgery as well. I am so ready for this. You will be in my prayers deltatrans44.

My surgery will be at 7:30 but will take a little longer than normal. They have to reverse my nissen fundoplication. For those of you who do not know what that is... it is where they wrap a portion of your stomach around your esophagus in order to control reflux. It seemed to have come undone.

The liquid diet has not been bad for me. I have am on "clear" liquids for 6 days now and am not hungry yet (thanks to the nissen fundoplication) but would like to have something good to eat before surgery... nope.. I won't break this liquid diet.... just dreaming...lol

Good luck to all of us having our sleeves done this week! Happy Sleeve Day!

Thank u I will try it this week??? How are u doing???

I'm having a rough time right now. Tried fish last night & we had to pull over on the way home. Ive done really well until that. I guess we just learn our bodies as we go.

No I haven't tried my favorite Diet Pepsi that I would love to have. What does ur dr say about carbonated drinks.

Let me know how the tuna does. I knew the fish was too much. It had breading. I was craving it so I really thought my body needed whatever it provided.

I'm October 26! Hope those of you who have already had your surgery are doing well and that those of you who are still waiting hear good new soon.

Hi everyone! Best of luck to all of you having your surgery soon. God bless and have a speedy recovery.I am about 11 days out. I feel really good. I went to a wedding on saturday and I even danced twice! I felt really good but perhaps I over did it. On sunday at church I got a SUPER sharp burning pain on my right side of my tummy. I've been doing really good otherwise. Fluids and protein drinks all good! My soups are getting a ltittle boring. I may try my own chicken and veggie soup and blend it! That taste of canned soups isn't that good. My dad makes my other soups, but like I said, I get bored easily. Hope everyones doing well. I will figure out how to update my traker ticker or whatever it called, really soon!!

I'm freaking starving today. I am 6 days in to my liquid diet and I am having a hard time. Unfortunately I am cooking for the family and that makes it worse.

I'm with you there! I'm on day four of full liquid, and I'm dying!. I cheated today and ate 3 townhouse crackers. I know it doesn't seem like much, but it's the principle that I cheated. Hopefully these are words we will never use again. Oh to be hungry no more. Good luck to you!

It's very frustrating and I'm so sad about your cheat. I work with a girl who had the same procedure and she told me to be like her... Every three days she went out and got a taco. I don't want to do that. We just new to keep pushing on. I have your back, we can do this.
