Yes. I'm wondering how that will work.

The diets are pretty hard, I have found many posts in the preop diet section on tips and things that others have used! Hopefully you can find something there that can help! I've also found that sugar free gum has helped me with head hunger and the desire to chew! :)

My approval came today! I'm waiting to get my final directions from my doctor. Mixed feelings and I don't know why.

I had the same mixed feelings issues until today, my pre-op day. Good luck and I am so happy for you. Congrats.

Hi everyone!!! My surgery was today at noon..... And so far it's been fine! I'll post more tomorrow.... But looking back I realize I didn't need to worry- I hope that helps some of you whose surgeries are coming up to relax a bit. Also.... Please feel free to ask me any questions that are making you worry and I'll tell you whatever I can about my experience!!!

You'll do great on Wednesday!! I had some pain when I woke up but it was like period cramps... Just in the wrong place and they took care of it like immediately. At he same time I felt a bit nauseous but that went away RIGHT away. I definitely went very light with the liquid diet yesterday.... Just 24 oz Protein Shake from 7a to 6p and did Water in between. I didn't plan that I was just too nervous to put anything in my mouth! Maybe that helped?

You will do so great! Just do a lot of smiling and try to laugh while you are waiting for surgery! I was so nervous I cried on and off all day yesterday. If I knew how I'd be feeling today I def wouldn't have. I know everyone's experiences are different and I'm grateful for mine. Please keep us posted how you are and def ask me whatever you want!!

Thanks so much!! I feel a bit more at ease. Still trying to stay calm. I'm afraid of the pain, but hearing it isn't that bad is really a relief. I've had surgery before (knee surgery 10 years ago) and I just remember being really nauseous after, so I'm praying its not too bad this time. Thanks so much for this! I will keep everyone updated. And good luck to everyone else going this week! Thinking of all my sleeve sisters and brothers!

      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! 😞
