Learned earlier today Im sceduled for 20th as well! No liquid diet, but i'll try for at least a week to get ready. Anyone knows of someone who had 14 days liquid before v someonr going in w/o fasting prior. Any difference in experiences afterwards?

My doc gave me a high Protein no carb diet. I did it for first 3 days, wasn't able to eat enough ( I get full normally after a few bits) so asked to do a liwuid Protein Shake. That worked perfectly. Had surgery yesterday morning. They dont allow anything at all not even Water for first 24 hours but it was ok. I wasn't hungry at all. Wish you all the best

Well I'm officially sleeved!!!! Everyone here has been wonderful. Very kind and incredibly knowledgeable. Kinda went in or, they gave me something to make me sleepy before anesthesia and well I woke up 4 hours later when they wheeled me back into my room. Those 4 hours for me felt like 10 minutes. Within 1/2 hour I went for my first walk. No Water or anything for me for 24 hours but I am not hungry at all. Thats a first ha ha. No pain what so ever, I am sure later on today since its Friday now I might be sore but I will take it. What a journey, I am so glad it has begun. I am excited to hear from everyone who has gone in the last few days and sending best wishes to those of you coming up.

Hello! First post - scheduled for oct 17. But just got a call from the doc - a nurse left a message - smth abt the date. In limbo now.a

But - i am incredibly unprepared. I thought of going easy today and got a bigger Breakfast than usual? I have no plan, no goal-posts...

Am i alone? Anyone else in the same state of mind - we can band together? Anyone walked through this and has pointers?

Where are you having your surgery? It almost sounds like you weren't given any direction or pre and post op information and directions. Is that the case? You should have discussed your plans and goals with your surgeon and nutritionist already prior to being scheduled.

JerryLynn - congratulations! You are done! Hope you are feeling better. How long are you scheduled to stay in a hospital? Have you had Water yet? What was the hardest thing so far? Cant imagine yet being on the other side!

I had my sleeve Oct 1st, everything went great. One word of caution, no matter how good you are feeling, don't overdo it. Yesterday I was feeling good and was taking care of some business stuff, nothing physical but I overdid it and got to the point of feeling very sick, laid down to keep from throwing up, husband called the ER. I was SO worried I was going to throw up and visions of my stomach coming un-stapled kept playing in my head.

Today everything is good, getting all my liquids in but SO not overdoing it.

Thanks.... I feel fantastic! I get released tomorrow. Honestly everyone here is so wonderful I am sad to go. I would say the hardest part was the morning after drinking the dye for the leak test. Otherwise its been a breeze. Nothing at all first day. Yesterday liquids. Today after passing 2nd leak test I got broth. I will recommend walking as much as you can. I truly feel like I fell asleep and woke up 10 minutes later all done. I hope yours goes as mine has. :)

Thank you for sharing this. I have a three year old at home and that is one of my concerns. My husband will be home the first week but I will be on my own with her after that. Congrats on your new journey!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
