Mine is scheduled for March 18th. I start my liquid diet Monday and I am a little nervous about that. I have so many emotions right now but I can't wait until the procedure is done and I can get my life back.

Ok everyone' date=' I had my surgery this morning at 11:30 and I feel pretty good right now. There is a little bit of tenderness when I move but other than that no real pain. I think my gallbladder surgery was worse lol. I'm not allowed any liquid with the first day, the doctor said he will start me on Ice chips tomorrow. It's not as bad as I was thinking it would be the surgery only took about 35 minutes. So good luck to the rest of you getting it done this month , I heard from other people the first day is the worst and if this is the worst I`ll take it any day! Lol The best thing to remember, is to get up and walk as soon as you can. They bloat your stomach during surgery which makes you have gas pains , the best way to get rid of this is a walk, just a little heads up.[/quote']

Woot woot!! Great! I agree walk, walk, walk.... 35 min wow that was fast! Just when you start to feel good they wake you up! :) here's to a speedy recovery!

My surgery is March 18th. Not looking forward to the pre op diet :) So ready for a change, though.

So my surgery is on the 7th and I'm on a one week liquid diet. I have a party today and tomorrow and I know I'll be tempted to eat but I also know that I've resisted a lot of delicious meals for the last couple of days so I'm hoping I have the will power to keep going strong.

P.s goodluck to everyone with their upcoming sleeves and well wishes for those who are already sleeved.

I am up this coming Tues March 5th, 11:50am on the O.R. schedule. I have managed very well on my pre-op, lost 11 pounds so far. I plan on taking my iPad in with me just so I can post here and I know for a fact that Valley has very good WiFi. You see I work there and I am the first person people call when they have computer problems! :D

I have been plugging along since October. I started my two week preop on Feb 19. Steadfastly doing what I need to do to prepare with little in mind other than following the rules.

But now that the real deal is only 3 days away, I'm starting to freak out. In a good way, sorta. The dreams are starting and I am getting those terrible butterflies that I used to get before going on stage.

That kinda freak out. It's really happening, you know?

Hi! I'm new & not sure if im in the right section to respond! lol. I am scheduled for surgery march 13. I love that i found this app for iphone' date=' but im also stressing when i read a section called "slow losers". Ive been a slow loser all my life & thats why im getting this done. I pray i dont stop losing after one week!!! Any words of encouragement will be appreciated! ;)

Im just about to start my pre-op diet. Did anyone else binge excessively up until that point??? Or is it just me? Lol. I think i ate everything last month that was bad for me - i guess i was saying good-bye to the food.[/quote']

Jilliemay,

You are not alone in any of your concerns.

I found out from my blood work that my thyroid is slow, and I hope that does not mean slow for me. On the other hand. Slow is progress!

I too have been saying goodbye to food. I start my pre op liquid on the 11th, and am starting now to buckle down so it is not as much of a shock for my system.

Feel free to lean on us at any time. We are all walking this same road.

Best of luck to you. I pray your weightless is steady and you have lots of support at home.

Only five more days till D day and I can't wait. This liquid diet is killing me. It's not bad, it's just that dang head hunger is driving me over the edge. Two weeks is a long time to have to do this. I crave a big juicy double cheeseburger so bad. LOLOL NOT. Anyway, on the downside thank goodness.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
