Sleeve surgery for me is Monday Nov 24 in Slidell, LA with Dr. Balder. Nerves have the best of me right now. My procedure is laparoscopic. I've had 3 c-sections the long incision way, from the belly button down, and pre-op nurses said this surgery will not be as bad as sections.....????? I HOPE THEY RIGHT!!

I would love to be a of your group. Had my surgery on November 19. So far I have not had any problems post-op.I have been able to get 2 Protein Shakes and a small cup of chicken broth. As long as i just take a sip at a time. Seems to be working for me. My one and only problem is getting my crushed medicine down with only tiny sips of water.'m have not had a lot of pain which is good because I am allergic to morphine,purqset (?). vicodine, and tramadol.I can start on my pureed foods tomorrow, Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try first ?

I had mine on 11/19 as well. You can start puréed foods 4 days out? That is awesome! I am supposed to wait 2 weeks but can't imagine waiting that long. I am not doing a good job getting all of my Protein in because I can't stand the high Protein Drinks and am not able to drink enough to get enough with the lower protein drinks. I am headed back to work tomorrow and am concerned about how I am going to get all the protein and fluids in during a busy day. I can't wait to hear what you eat first!

Hey, gang! The Facebook group

Is called November 2014, and is it a private group, which is great for those of us who haven't told everyone about their surgery. Anyway, it's been a terrific source of support and inspiration to me, and I think you should check it out. Many of us had the same fears/concerns and we share a lot of great tips to ease the journey. Hope to see you there!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
