It's brave of you to even write to us - but, glad to hear your out of surgery and you will be feeling better - remember deep breaths helps to get the gas out of your system and walking helps. Take care - can't wait to hear more.

Since we all go to a sleeve-anator, we come out of surgery sleeved, we'll now live a unsleevible life! And I plan to act like the true sleeve-arella I am! All that and I can't think of a name for my sleeve. LOL

LOL you guys! haha.

Well, come to think of it my husband actually gave my future sleeve a name a few days back lol. I haven't really thought about it till I came on here and read all the posts haha but thats so awesome you guys are naming them lol. The only bad thing about "my" name is that it is totally "pun intended" BUT the pun is only understandable in another language (my second language = Punjabi). So that just sucks all over the place. lol

basically the punjabi word "Nikki" directly translates to teeny tiny in english so my husband calls it "Nikki Sleevaj" (Nicki Minaj lol). Not that clever if you don't speak the language but meh. LOL. Ah well, according to hubby it fits since I sound like a "dungeon dragon" all the time running around the house always yelling and breathing fire at everyone who has the misfortune of crossing my path. <_<

I started my 2 week pre op diet yesterday...havent been hungry at all....but I woke up with one hell if a headache, I'm guessing the above 90 degree weather isn't helping much either... I'm reminding myself often that this is just part of the process and a means to an end... Now if only this headache will go away, sigh

I don't have an exact date. So far they are telling me mid-July. Yes' date=' it seems all I think about now. I'm an older sleever - 67. Was afraid they would tell me I'm too old! I've been obese for about 30 years. Of course, I've tried and lost and gained several times over the years. I really want to spend the rest of my life in the best health possible. Don't feel old yet and don't want to!

Hi Shari, your post caught my eye when I read your age. I am also 67 and will have surgery Aug. 5th. Have you had your surgery yet? If not when will you have it? How are you doing now? I am drinking Protein shakes and eating one regular meal a day until I start my pre-op.

I will have surgery on July 22. Monday I start my two week pre-op diet. I'm very lucky. I've lost 35 lbs. on my six month supervised diet as required by insurance. So, my surgeon has me on a high Protein, almost no carb diet. I can eat my protein, have non-starchy vegetables, but no grains, Pasta, or starches. I can have Protein Shakes, if I want. I am so excited to move on with this. Good luck with your surgery. We should keep in touch!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
