Hey everyone just trying to get all the September Sleevers together! I have my surgery September 30th. So when I wake up on the first of a new month I'll be a new person in the making let's all support and help one another!!

3rd day liquid diet..its not that bad....

Good morning all my fellow September Sleevers, I'm now 3 days post op, and on the stage 1 post op diet, which for my dr. is full liquids. I'm doing a 60g 9 oz protein shake split into 3 oz servings for breakfast lunch and dinner. Then I'm supposed to have 64 oz of other non-sugary drinks like water, crystal lite, etc I can have hello, and yogurt (blended with no fruit chunks) and sf ice pops. It's my first full day at home and I must remind myself to sip sip sip. I had no idea what that really meant until I was post op. I used to be able to drink 34 oz of liquid really quick, and now it hurts to drink 1/4 of an oz at once. Well I'm taking it easy and I pray that we all will have a quick healthy recovery. Anyone else sleeved on the 16th ? Message me I would love to have a sleeve buddy to offer support and get support from.

Take your time. I will be sipping after while.

3.5 hrs I will have my surgery. I'm excited! Trusting God. I know He is in control.

@@aloudwhisper Good luck! I will pray for you!

Thanks so much

Yes, I was Sleeved the 16th. Having the same experience. Sip sip sip, my entire focus right now. Have to walk n stretch a lot when I "sip too much" But so worth it????????????.

Only think now I brought out in cold sores in my lips, not too pleasant ????

I made it to the other side. 4 days post op and having trouble getting my fluid in. Any suggestions?

I find the sipping gets easier as you do it I got more than 64oz of fluids today, just slow and steady seems to work for me.

Hi sleevedsharon! My surgery date is also sept 30th. I'm scared and excited all at the same time. Im trying to get my profile set up on this thing but having a lot of trouble.

Anyway, I have been reading so much that I've confused myself and starting to make a list of things I will need to take to the hospital with me. All in all, so glad this is an option for me.

Hi there all!!!! I'm new to the group! I'm a September 25 sleeve!!!! This time next week ill be in recovery!!!!

Any advice?

Pre op get ur fluids in n walk... Post op. Walk off the gas n major focus on getting ur fluids... Lol - sounds simple but really challenging n oh so important

Honestly, I wouldn't take much. I did not need many things. I definitely suggest phone, phone charger, chapstick, flip flops, socks, and hygiene essentials. Keep it simple

I agree 100%!

16 days post-op and doing great! Eating soft foods and energy is returning. Liquids are not a problem anymore and getting protein is easier now since I struggled with the shakes my dr let me monitor protein by food instead :-)

Have you gone back to ice. I realize that it still hurt to drink water, unless I really measure it, but I can eat ice more freely.
