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?).

Best Wishes to Everyone getting Sleeved today! Can't wait to hear from yall!

This is it for most of us on this thread! I am at the hospital just waiting to be taken back. Wishing everyone a speedy and comfortable recovery!

Hi everyone, so, most of us on here are sleeved now! Yippee! I'm working to get my protein and water in, whichI can tell its going to be a big challenge. I don't want to overdue it and throw up, so I'm being hypersensitive about it and probably not doing enough. This is going to be a learning curve for sure! Other than that, I'm good. Belly is a little sore, but I can tolerate it with no meds, so that good. My shoulder pain is getting less, so that's good too! Just need to keep walking and drinking. Wishing you all the best!

I'm sleeved! The gas pain is horrible by the way but I'm pushing through.

I'm so sorry, skgirl27. I'm having a VERY hard time getting liquids down. Was ok in the morning, but its getting worse as day goes on. I'm so afraid I'm getting dehydrated. I throw up when I try to get it down. Anyone else having this problem?
