Hi everyone,

I'm new to this and surgery is around the corner!!!! I'm mostly excited but hoping it all works out! I did some pre- shopping to have things at home such as: Isopure drink and Protein shake... Jello , Popsicles , pudding, broth..... Any other suggestions??? I keep hearing egg whites...

I lived on Tomato Soup during the liquid stage. Not everyone's doctor allows it, so i would ask first. It was nice to have something with some taste. I am 3 weeks out, down 22 lbs since surgery and just cleared today for regular food after 2 weeks of puree. You'll do great. Good luck with the surgery.

I have had the burps today too and it freaked me out too. I do know it feels pretty amazing to be in my own bed tonight.

Judy you will be just fine. You will be a little bit sore however it isn't an unbearable pain. Let me know how everything goes after your surgery Monday please. I will be praying for you.

I'd be willing to be $100 that you didn't burst open your stomach. Smile, take a huge deep breath, and relax! You are fine :) Take it super easy and try not to worry too much...your on the other side now; enjoy it girlie!

Good luck!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
