Just as an added note for all the upcoming sleeves... Do not panic or get disappointed if you actually gain weight in the hospital. My Dr loaded me up with I'v Fluid to prevent dehydration. I actually gained a few pounds. Not to worry because the first day I took in only a few cups of ice chips surgery day and find it is difficult to get in my 64 oz of fluid today. So I'm glad he loaded me up which will give me time to adjust and get my liquids in without risking dehydration. Good luck to those who are coming up! You can do it!

@@Quest4TheNewMe, How is the pre-op diet going? It isn't so bad so far but this is just the first morning for me . . . .

@"RedDirtRoads" I actually don't start until tomorrow. I've been drinking Protein shakes for Breakfast for a while, so I'm hoping it isn't too terrible. I'm more worried about the Clear Liquids only on next Tuesday/Wednesday.

Have you survived the day so far?

For me the clear liquid preop was hands down the hardest. But you just need to stay focused on the goal. I'm home and on my own. My mornings are the worst with nausea however I realize this will pass it just takes time to adjust. Thank goodness the dr have me meds to help me cope. Again I must say it is the nausea that's getting me. Still no pain and being that I'm 3 days out I don't see pain being a problem moving forward. It has been difficult to get in my liquids today. Still adjusting. But I remain positive and focused. I can do this. With the support I see in this site I know I can. Look at all the examples before me. :)

So glad I found this site as it has been a wealth of information of what to expect and just knowing others are going through the same thing makes you feel normal too. Good luck to all the other sleevers this month and looking forward to hearing how everyone does.

Surgery Wednesday..11/12. I'm on my liquid phase of pre-op and feeling weak. Is this normal? I've tried to exercise but get dizzy. I'm hoping it's just because it's the 1st day of liquid only.

I'm on day #3 of the liquid diet and feeling tired/cold, but yesterday was the worst in regards to trying to stick to the rules.

My surgery is on the 13th.

Im on day 6 of 14 days.. And I am happy to announce that it gets better! The first 3-4 days of my pre-op diet, was crazy hardcore! I could barely get out of bed, and had a constant Migraine. But yesterday was really good in comparison. I was still really sleepy all day long, but no aches or pains! This morning im also waking up hopeful. So it does get better! Now weather or not it will stay better is a whole other question. :)post-200317-14155563173152_thumb.jpg

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
