  • I confirmed on Monday, March 2 going to get sleeved!

  • Hi Everyone. I apologize I have not been on. I had my surgery on Monday and had my IV's in for my liquids and pain meds. Day 2 was rough for me. I could not handle sips of water or oral pain meds. Eve

    My daughter turns 21 tomorrow and up this point, it has been all about her. So, I decided 2015 was going to be all about ME! I'm scheduled for March 3, 2015!!!

Hang in there. I too was very hungry...like stomach growling hungry. I was super tired also. Also, I had a major case of diet brain. About day 4, I felt much better. Lots of energy and not so hungry. But the diet brain has stuck around, unfortunately! It will get better soon. :)

Today is day 2 of my liquid diet and it is horrible. I am weak, tired, have a bad headache and starving. I am also at work. I was supposed to work tomorrow but my boss is letting today be my last. Surgery is monday, i am nervous and excited. More ready to just get this over. Im located in Michigan.

Two more days until my sleeve surgery! I am excited & kind of freaking out lol! I always over do it, but between packing for the hospital, packing my kids stuff for their Nana's house, getting everything situated to take my four dogs to the Kennel, making sure my house is spotless ( because I am a control freak lol) and just mentally preparing I am getting anxious. I will have plenty of time to do it all I'm sure, but I always try to do more then what is needed. It drives my husband nuts when we are going on a trip, but I don't know how to turn it off! Lol! Being over prepared is what me feel in control & at ease.

Thank you....i cant wait to stop feeling like this

Not supposed to be fun it's detoxing the fat of your liver. Life will not be fun in the next month or so. Sorry

Getting tired of nothing but shakes and protein. What fun is there in drinking this?

Did anyone else have liver biopsy done during surgery

I had one during endo also. Not standard procedure but not uncommon if they see anything out of spec.

Tomorrow's the day! Hope I can sleep tonight

I'm on my way to the hospital for 730 surgery! Newgirlfrommd... I'm the same! And I'm from md too!

They told me yesterday to bathe in dial soap up to two days before surgery and the morning of. She said no perfumes and stuff. My question is this. Does that mean deodorant, face cream, shampoo, and chipped toe nail polish? She talked fast lol

I had to wash with Hibacleanse tonight, which I did and again in the morning before heading in for my surgery.

It's to make sure there's no lotions, powders, etc or excess oils on your skin.

Luckily my stall broke.. I reached my 20 LB weight loss goal for pre surgery. Yay!

Im on day 9 of my preop diet and I have only lost 3 pounds. :( I have not cheated. Yesterday I went to my preop appt and was told that according to my tests, my liver was a normal size, meaning its not enlarged. I wonder if that is why im not losing much?

Tomorrow's the day! Hope I can sleep tonight

tomorrows my day also! Excited but curiously curious too. Good luck to you!
