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?).

It's Sunday and I am out to lunch with my mom. Having chicken broth and it is sooooo good! Been living on power aide zero and popsies so this is a treat! Yum! No pain pills yet today. Yay!

Great !!! Glad you are doing better...

I am here getting ready to go back for my sleeve see y'all on the other side with my new sleeve!!

Good luck, sastexan! You will do great. Yesterday I walked the mall and felt good. Getting stronger every day and more able to get my protein shake down, which was t easy a couple days ago.

I had my 2 week post-op appointment today and everything is going great! I've lost a total of 26.6 pounds from my starting weight!! My BMI went from 43.6 to 39.4 in a month! The scale has been at a stall for the past 5 days but I got the go ahead to exercise a little more and I plan to do just that and bust through this plateau! How's everyone else doing?!?
