Congrats on your approval! I am scheduled for this Monday 7/21! I am doing well on my pre op diet but it is only 800 cal. My weight seems to be fluctuating up and down but I think its just Water retention because I have been drinking about 4 liters per day.

I just had my surgery on 7/11/14 and I was on a liver shrinking diet and lost 10 lbs. I'm now on 2 weeks liquid, 2 weeks purée and 2 weeks soft food. Albeit I didn't expect so much pain after the surgery but I have a low threshold of pain.

Good luck

Wow that's a lot of water I'm supposed to drink 64 oz. my problem is trying t I drink liquids one oz for 30 minutes then continue like take a sip of water and wait until a few minutes then another sip and keep going until you reach 30 minutes then rest and start again.

Hello any help would be great as my date is set for July 23rd. I have blue shield and they denied me because they said I was missing a paper. We re faxed it in and they said they can take an additional 5 days. Has anyone heard of this? Has anyone had this happen to them? Will it take the full 5 days at that point? Some say it's quicker but I'm worried.

I'm scheduled for 7/22. I'm scared and excited! I had a lap band about 4 yrs ago, and wasn't successful. I pray this works!

My dr told me if the band didn't work the sleeve won't work. I just really want to have surgey!!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
