Thought I'd start a thread for those of us being sleeved on the 1st. It would be fun for all of us to check in with each other after our procedures and compare how everyone is doing. It would also be a nice support for prior to the surgery because this pre op diet sucks and is HARD!!!!

Speaking of pre op diets. What do your doctors have you doing? I'm confused as to why some people only have to do a 24 hour liquid diet, while some (me included) have to do 2 protein shakes and 1 protein and green meal for 2 weeks and still others have to do 1 month of liquid! I want some cottage cheese. Anyone allowed to have that pre op? I read somewhere its ok. Just wondering. I'm only on day 3 and its hard (did I say that already?).

I have only lost 15lbs from start date had my sleeve march 5th and my weight is at stall also going to get more water I feel fine If I drink to fast or eat my jello to fast man o man the pain any one else..

Congrats!! 15lbs is great!! I haven't started working out yet either, I'm been really drained of energy the past few days. Hopefully this weekend I'll get back into it!

same here went and walk WalMart with a friend them the dollar tree now I'm drained try B12 it helps...My Dr told me to walk a lot work up to 30 mins Not to do any any after 3 week do not pick up anything over 1lbs no pushing or pulling and a little bending over just walk around in side your house and work your self up to 10 mins Good Luck!!
