Good Morning and Hello to all, Congrats to all my fellow sleevers and sleevers to be , I just got sleeved yesterday August 19th, surgery was a success and I am feeling much better than yesterday. So excited about this new journey : )

Congratulations!

_{Hello fellow August sleevers !!!! My surgery was 8/8 and I am really progressing nicely. It takes some trial & error to find what works. I felt weak by day 5 and felt much better when Dr said it was okay to drink protein shakes. Stay healthy everyone ! August sleevers ROCK !}

My day is Monday the 26! So very ready to get on with it! Praying it goes well.

August 28, Dr G at Abington VSG.

pre-op diet going pretty well. can resist some popcorn in the evenings once in a while. I know it;s a starch but are there any other particularly negatives? .

OK people....I am only three days out from surgery and I am starving.....I mean can't I suck on a saltine cracker or something....what can I do....I'm going nuts and my stomach won't stop growling.....the good part is when I eat broth or drink some protein I get full but shortly after I'm hungry again...HELP.....

I'm going in on Tuesday, 27th!!! I am so ready. I'm having my surgery at St. David's Hospital in Austin. I love my surgeon, Dr. Nancy Marquez. She has truly been wonderful and I am not worried about anything. I thought the day would never get here but I'm only 3 days away to my new and improved me!

There's so many people going in on the 27th. You know this is gonna be our lucky day! 3 more days!

It will Amybeth ' date='don't worry. Prayers for you Dear. You will be so happy you made the decision to do something that will make your life happy & healthier [/quote']

Have you tried eating little and often my surgeon advises at least 6 meals a day from day 4 post surgery, i, m on pureed food now for 3 weeks, this is anything of smooth consistancy including cereals like wheatabix and porridge, scrambled egg, I also sip on milky coffees like lattes. :-)

Thanks, but I thought I was suppose to do the clear liquid for a week before the puréed food...didn't know that I could start it as early as day Four...maybe I could give it a try then, I just didn't want to move to fast...
