No problem and the first 2 days back or more I highly recommend sleeping inclined. ... I was not comfortable trying to lay flat in my bed.... I needed 2 get extra pillows and prop myself up.....

Sherry W I have been on 2 Protein Drinks and a Soup. I have not gotten hungry but for me the trick has been the Protein Powder added to my shakes. For Breakfast I have 8 oz almond milk (unsweetened) my 1/2 lemon at least 2 scoops of Protein powder, 1 Tbls of sugar free lemon pudding (just the powder) and then add some frozen cherries or blueberries to tone down the lemon. add 5/6 ice cubes (I shave mine first) and I am good to go for hours..

Dec. 30th sleever here, too!!! How is everyone else feeling?? For me, I'm excited and a bit nervous, but mostly just anxious for the surgery part to be over with, so I can start the recovery part, and of course to see what life is like on the other side of the sleeve!!! I am overly emotional too, but that's because my depression & anxiety are kicking into high gear!!! I need a surgery buddy too!!! Any takers??

I'm too busy starving to death on this horrible long 2 week diet to be nervous about the surgery on the 30th. I had gallbladder surgery in '08 and it was super easy but I've heard this is worse. I'm just dying to not be hungry or be able to eat some runny retried Beans or cottage cheese or something lol. Sick to death of the broth and protein...oh well on the bright side my surgeon allows coffee up until two days before surgery.post-243322-14197496074863_thumb.jpg

I am on full liquids tomorrow which is the day before surgery. I am ready and want to get this over with! It's been a long haul. I was to be free of my pain meds a week ago and I am in so much pain with my knees. The sciatica nerve is shooting down to my butt and legs. Ughh so this why I am ready to kick ass! Btw, good luck to the 29ers. I hope for the best!

Thank you @@bellabill! I have to be at the hospital at 7:30 tomorrow morning. I am a nervous wreck! I doubt I'll sleep much tonight! Wishing you have a smooth surgery and quick recovery!

Drinking broth and hoping for a relatively painless recovery. Dec. 30 sleeve seems like a dream after all these months of insurance, doctors, evaluations and mind prep. I'm as ready as I can be. Here I go.

Surg is today! Have to be at hosp by 7. Just wanted to tell you guys that I was clear liquid and Protein until day before. All clear liquids yesterday and I thought my stomach going to eat a hole through my back bone! STAY BUSY! Take a nap, shower, walk, whatever but distract yourself and drunk Water or broth and it will subside. Hang in there bc tomorrow morning for you, you will wake up and be so glad you stuck to it 24 hrs longer and it will be THE day! Good luck to you all!!!!

Thanks for all the words of encouragement, and good luck to all of you 29th Sleeve Surgeries today. This is my last day of eating torture, and then I will be up bright and early on the 30th for my Adventure. It can't come soon enough!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
