I know there is an October group here somewhere but I thought I would start this off by introducing ourselves!

I'm 25 years old and from British Columbia, Canada. My surgery is set for October 2. My pre op ensure shake diet starts September 2 but I have started a week early for a head start I am

A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

I agree 10/12 sleeve here no problems. It is challenging with the water intake but I was never a fan of h2o. Nonetheless,vitamin water and Sobe has been the best for me. Crystal light seems to now have a more noticeable aftertaste to me. I'm cleared for soft foods and am enjoying my sleeve!

I totally agree with you I was sleeved on 10/17 and I feel great I have no pain at all just trying to get all the liquids and protein in is hard. I'm glad to know its not just me who feels good. I'm praying for everyone who are having complications that everything gets better for them.

I had my surgery yesterday. Everything went well' date='. Has anyone experience d is blurred vision, has anyone else had this issue??[/quote']

I did...for a day or two. I blamed it on pain meds and stopped using it. I went away...

Thank you, I only take the pain meds when I have to, because I know they can cause nausea too

I was sleeved on Oct 23. at Vanderbilt. Dr. Williams was my doctor. I am a 53 year old female. My surgery went well, didn't remember anything until they were waking me up in the recovery room. Immediately, I threw up, pooped and urinated all over myself at the same time.(Don't you know they loved me) After about 7 hours in recovery I finally got a room. Continued to have "dry heaves". I was released after 36 hours. Next two days in and out of sleep, no pain and incisions looking good. I guess that would be the worst part of my story. I am getting stronger everyday. When I weighed from coming home from the hospital, I had gained 10 pounds of fluid. Now I have lost the 10 pounds of fluid plus 8 of my own. Yea.

I am eating puree foods. Everything has agreed with me so far except one of my crushed blood pressure medicines. My cousin who was sleeved 6 months before me(has lost 82 pounds) brought me syntrax nectar protein powder. It really is good. It helps me get my protein in along with fluids. I have had the support of a wonderful husband that has taken such great care of me.I am excited about this new me. But, as they say, "This ain't for sissies".

Good luck to everyone and if I can help anyone on this site or in the Nashville area--just let me know.

God Bless.

Hey Pam, glad everything is going alright with you. I am so glad Vanderbilt does not make us go on extreme liquids pre and post. So many on here had to do liquids two weeks before and two weeks after. Wow, not sure I could've done that. I go to Vandy tomorrow for check up. Scales say I have lost 10 pounds. Yea.....

I'm a 10/24 sleeve too!! I am ready to get this dang on drain out, it's driving me crazy.......... Apparently as long as I have more than 50ml of out put per day it has to stay in., I have almost 3 times that..... Congrats to us all for having the courage to take the step of being sleeved

Ok, October is over and we're all sleeved.....updates?

I'll start....I'm three weeks out and I started purees yesterday, had a scrambled egg today and it was like fireworks on my tongue....only ate half so tuned in to what I was feeln but it went well! U?

Sleeved 10/10 down 22 pounds. On pureed tolerating it good but ruining out of ideals. Feeling great.

Sleeved Oct 22. On pureed foods. Doing good. Feel fine. Having a hard time getting enough in, which is a weird problem to have. Seemed to have hit a stall on the weight loss. Doctor told me to hide the scale. Lol.

SLEEVED 10/23, down 15 pounds. Eating soft foods, loving it. No problems, thank you Lord. Get to start regular diet in 12 days, yea.

Sleeved 10/23... down 29.5...still on full liquids....going insane.

Sleeved 10/23. Feeling pretty good! Down 18 lbs since pre-op Full liquids for another 2 weeks. Not even close to getting in my protein and water. There's not enough room in my sleeve and not enough hours in the day, but I'm sure Ill get there. So far I'm so glad I've chosen this journey.
