Interested to see the awesome group that will be going through this journey with me at the same time. Please reply so that I can follow your journey as well. My last weigh in is on April 15 and surgery date will either be May 11 or May 18.

Hi Deb. Good luck on your surgery next week I will pray for you. I used to live in MD for 15 years now I'm back in NY. I had my surgery last Tuesday May 12th. So I'm now 4 days postop. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was very nervous and scared the day of my surgery. My surgery was Tuesday and I was back home on Wednesday. I had some soreness the first three days and was taking the pain meds they gave me. Today I woke up feeling a lot better. I have no problems drinking. You have to keep hydrated so I'm sipping water all day. I was lucky because I could keep food down so my doctor put me on soft foods when I left the hospital. My mom also took me and I went home with her I too live alone. Today I'm going back home I'm starting to feel better and need to get back to my routine.

I still have one more week off from work to recover. You will be fine. Keep in mind why you doing this. Good luck. Keep in touch with how things are going.

I got sleeved a day earlier on May 14. I am doing fine. Just trying to get my water in. It feels so great to know I will lose my weight.

Is there anyone in Kentucky, Indiana or Tennessee getting sleeved?

Thanks for the reply! I'm glad to hear you did so well. I'll let you know how things go. Deb

I am being sleeved May 20th. I'm more than half way through my pre op diet and truthfully it hasn't been bad. I haven't lost as much weight as I thought I would though so I'm hoping I'm not going to be a slow loser the whole time. My pre op diet is not all liquid though.

My sleeve is scheduled for this Wednesday, May 20th and I cannot wait! I was put on a 1 week pre-op diet and it hasn't been as awful as I imagined. I think it's because I know what the end goal is!

I had my sleeve done on May 7th! So I'm 1p days post op today! Lost 22 pounds. I sometimes regret this decision I made. But it is done so I'm just going through what needs to be done.

10 days post op**

I live in Tennessee, and was sleeved on May 12th in Nashville.

I went to the grocery store today to shop for my post-op diet. OMG!! All I could think of when I was in the store and looking at things was "well I will never get to eat that again..." "I wish I had eaten that before getting on the pre-op diet..." "how will I live without eating those again?"

What an ordeal! Has anyone else experienced this? It made me want to cancel my surgery!

Help - comments appreciated.

I was feeling sorry for myself too! Don't worry! You can still eat some of it just a ton less than before! And other things you like try to find healthier versions! Make it a game!

Hi everyone! This is the first time im making any type of comment here.

This is my first time posting. My surgery is tomorrow, May 18th and I am totally terrified! I didn't have to do a diet before the surgery and I don't understand how I won't be hungry after the surgery. Can anyone explain this to me? I have so many fears about being able to stay on the diet after surgery because I know my whole life is going to change. Any others going in tomorrow, May 18th?

Hi, my surgery is tomorrow (May 18th) also. Where are you from?? I'm very nervous also and I did not have to do any pre diet as my BMI is 37.2. Anyway Welcome aboard, keep in touch.

I am also getting surgery done tomorrow! The reason your hunger is drastically reduced is because hunger receptors on your stomach (that connect to your brain) pouch are removed and you are left with a smaller (less receptors) stomach.
