Whose having surgery in july? my date is the 9th!

I just found out yesterday that my surgery will be July 30! They moved it up from August... It's really great to hear that so many of you are doing so well early on postop.

I am on the 23rd also.

I will be having surgery in Dallas at Doctor's.

Can we make it a trio? I would love to be part of a support group!

Mine is also on the 23rd

You are allowed to have all that so soon after surgery?

yep! The full liquids im on for 2 wks, includes all those plus a few more things (yogurt, popsicles, milk-based soups). every surgeon is different, though, and some other ones are allowing their patients things like mashed potatoes and egg salad only 1 wk after surgery! I have been really lucky so far - NO constipation, NO nausea, NO trouble getting in liquids or protein. i was so frightened, thinking the absolute worst would happen, and every day is better than the one before. i wont weigh myself till i see my PCP next wk, i made a promise not to obsess over the scale, but I lost 20 lbs pre-op. also im having a better time getting up from bed - that was tough the first couple of days!!

That is great news!

I am so happy for you

For those of you who have already been sleeved, anyone using the Profect protein supplement.? This is what I will given in the hospital. I'm wondering if I should get some for home? Sleeve date 7/16/13

What I have been doing being on clear liquids only had surgery Thursday the 11 th is Isopure 1 scoop in 8 oz water 3x per day. Gives me 75 grams protein and water mixed. It does take me aan hour or more to finish sipping one. Once 3 then I do broth and water. I have No desire for anything and feel full all the time. Gassy yes both ends I am afraid.

Kit Kat you are not alone. I stopped the pain meds yesterday I still have pain more soreness than anything but can live with it. Controlled pain meds scare me.
