Hi there everyone,

I am new here and to this sleeve business! I am tentatively scheduled for late July, and I was wondering if anyone else here is roughly on the same timetable as I am. At this point, I am just getting my nutritional information together for the pre-op diet. i am both excited and scared. I know I can do this, but right now, I seems like a daunting task.

I'd love to hear how other pre-op sleevers are doing!

Thanks,

kbpaulie

Wow you are a rockstar. I was sleeved monday also. im getting fluids but the isopure is tasting like hot butt to me. Pray my strength

Had my surgery yesterday the 30th. Doing geat so far just a little gas that doesn't seem to come out no matter how much I walk. No nauseousness!!! Can't wait to be home.

I had mine yesterday 27th. First 24 hours are no joke. But I feel much better today make sure to walk as much as you can it helps alot.

Ditto.. I had mine the 27th too.. Definitely not a walk in the park.

Sleeved Monday and down 11 pounds since Sunday!

Had surgery on the 28th, finally home and resting. Harder than inthought

My hubby and I were sleeved on the 27th. We are doing great. The drains get removed tomorrow. I am down a total of 33 lbs and hubby is down 34. All the gas pains are worth it! FYI, the losses are total since pre op. We've lost about 10 post op.

Congratulations to you both

I feel so much better today! I'm refusing to weigh myself until August 28th which is my 1 month sleeversary just because the numbers on the scale does something to me mentally whether I lose a lot or if I stall. I let those numbers affect me so much that I'd rather just gauge my success with my cloth size and activity levels. I wonder if theres anyone here like me when it comes to the scale?

1 week post-op and I feel awesome, I'm about 98% back to normal. Down 14 pounds since surgery and 39 since starting my journey.

You guys are doing awesome and that's great! Physically I think I'm doing fine. The incisions feel a lot better and it's getting easier to swallow without that burning feeling all the way down. But I don't feel like the eating is progressing at all. Because I was throwing up in the beginning I was told to hold off on the protein shakes for a few days, so it was cream of wheat and broth only. Started protein yesterday, but most disappointing is I don't think I've lost ANYTHING. My husband keeps telling me to be patient, it's only been a week, but I can't help but worry that I'm going to have the same struggles as before. If yon haven't figured it out yet I'm very emotional and a bit of a worry wart :-)

July 29th. Most of y'all have had your surgeries!
