Hi everyone!! This is my first post & I'm looking for October surgery buddies. I'm very excited about the surgery. I've gotten my psych clearance, scheduled my sleep study, nutrition classes and upper endoscopy. My date is October 14th. Btw, anyone here from Jersey? Look forward to making friends w everyone!

@@Kpar909956 - can you have unsweetened almond milk? It comes in plain & vanilla. Also there's a chicken flavor Unjury.

Hi October Sleevers. I'm headed in Thursday .. it's getting real! I love seeing the early Oct people's posts on how they're doing .. generally good it sounds like! I'm struggling my way through a protein-shake & broth only diet but it's easier than I expected it to be. I'm down 14 so far so I'm super happy with that. I'm really glad there are people out there going through the same thing ..

I tried to reply to a specific post and it didn't tag the person

@@BlendyWendy Congrats on the 14lbs !! oooh that "It's getting real feeling" is pretty profound huh? Come back here as soon as you're feeling up to it and let us know how you are doing !!! We are all here for you !

Hey guys!! With the end of October approaching, I started a new thread for all of us post op October sleevers. I posted the link below so hopefully it will work. I don't spend to much time on the preop boards since having surgery because the post op boards are more relevant now. So anyway! Feel free to join us over there!

Well I heard back from my Nut today. I need to keep doing what I am doing. She said no cream Soups no oatmeal, no cream of wheat. if it is not on my list than I can not have it. So I am to continue on my full liquids with Protein shakes until I see the dr on Nov 14. I am not doing to bad, except I have been stuck for 4 days at the same weight and I am on liquids. trying to increase my activity.

Thanks for the support and suggestions. Time to make protein Jello.

How do make your protein jello?

Okay I've caught up on all of the facebook invites. They've all been sent

Thanks Chelle,

guess I am worried about being deprived for the rest of my life. It isn't helping with the holidays coming soon. My step daughter commented today saying, oh man, what are you going to do for Thanksgiving? Guess it will be turkey and cauliflower mashed potatoes

@@Elaine Sunday When was your surgery? Mine was 10/13 and I plan on having dark meat turkey (3oz) and salad or cooked carrots and then some sweet potato mash.

Thanks for the add.

I'm worried about Thanksgiving too. I go in for my surgery on Thursday. But we might just stay home for Thanksgiving so we don't have to worry about the food. Although, not fan of Turkey, I love green bean casserole.

Hey everyone, it's a "does anyone else have this" post:

I've noticed just over the last hour or so that I am getting a moderate pain in my left abdomen, about midway between my belly button and my side. (This side has been more sore because that's where they pulled my stomach out.) I get just a little jolt of pain and then it goes away. Of course (TMI) I haven't had a bowel movement of any kind in the last couple days so I'm thinking it may be that???

Thanks!

guess I am one of the lucky ones. I had no pain. I even accused the surgeon of not doing anything, because I was pain free

For thanksgiving... Enjoy your friends and family. They will inhale a plate of food in 20 minutes while we can take our time with ours and enjoy it just as much ! And we don't have to make ourselves sick. Maybe focus on decorating for Christmas, or watch football, or just talking about something different.

We got this !!
