Anyone else scheduled in October? Let's stay in touch during this process!

I have to take one more informational class. Have an EGD done and do a 2 week liquid only diet.

During the the diet I have to drink the doctor's Protein drinks. Hope they are good!

I am! I'm actually about to try the soup now...

I'm scheduled for October 14th, Slidell, Louisiana

Best of luck to you!! Keep us posted on how you're doing!!!!

Oh boy. Started the 2 week diet today. 4 shakes, 1 soup, 1 bar. I want food already hahaha. Ugh. I'm sure it will get easier. It's just a little odd right now to not have almost any chewable food.

Hey everyone, I was sleeved at 9:30 this morning everthing went very well. I remember going into the operating room but only I was only awake for a few minutes. I had to have a hitial hernia repair as well.

When I woke up from surgery the gas pain in my chest was at a level of 5 or 6. I was given pain medication, when i got to my room from recovery I was ready to walk . I put my pajamas on and I walked and I'm no longer experiencing gas pains and that's so awesome. I've been increasing my walking time a little at a time. I'm up to 5 laps on my hospital floor.

As far as resting, I've been resting pretty well. Nurses are constantly in but their awesome! I have my chest x-ray and leak test in the morning. After that I'll start my clear liquid diet. Guys I'm so glad I don't feel hungry.

I know there are a lot of people getting sleeved on Wednesday, October 8th. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery!

I just had mine on the 6th in Baton Rouge. Doing ok. Still sore and have some gas pains in my shoulder. Nausea every now and then. Down 4 lbs since surgery though.

Hey everyone, so I had my leak test a couple hours ago. I thought the chalky substance was going to be awful but it wasn't that bad. It reminded me of Miralax. So I should proceed with my liquid diet this afternoon. I feel great and ready to head home. I won't be leaving the hospital until tomorrow morning.

I hope everyone is doing great!

The first day of the pre-op diet yesterday was a little tough. Today is already a lot easier. I think the evenings will be the worst (the snacking hour). I have to say, I think I can definitely do this

Congrats!!! I'm due to be sleeved in 12 days... The anxiety is starting to get me now! I'm not nervous about the procedure, just about how I will feel afterwards.

Hello Everyone,

I had my sleeve surgery on Friday the 3rd. I was in the hospital until the 6th and was told that my surgery was completely uneventful. I'm feeling a little better than I did in the couple of days following surgery but I am still having some spasms. I am also still relying on the pain medication more than I thought I would be 5 days out.

I'm on a full liquid diet. I haven't had much trouble keeping down the liquids but I can only drink a very small amount at a time. I can't wait to get a little further from the painful part and on to weight loss and more energy!

That's great! Oh wow I'm so excited to have my surgery too. I'm happy you are doing well.

I'm glad you are able to tolerate the shakes and stuff so well. I felt sick to my stomach all day yesterday because the shakes are just too sweet for me - and the soup UGH!! I choked down a shake this morning, but I also saw the surgeon today and I told him how bad yesterday was. He told me I could do just one week instead of two - so I got a reprieve! I'm going to have to try some other shakes next week or I'm not going to make it.
