I am so excited that my insurance approved me and I'm set for June 11th. However I'm freaking out a little bit because now it's like HOLY CRAP it's REALLY HAPPENING!

Any other June Sleevers around? Any words of encouragement or advice?

I had my surgery on June 10. I'm 3 days post-op and my biggest problem is a horrible headache that will not go away. Anyone else experience this?

I am 4 days post op and I have not really had any headaches, we're you a previous tea, coffee or soda drinker? I have been told sometimes you can get a withdrawal headache from that. Also, we are kind of in starvation mode after surgery just taking in liquids.

No headaches just uncontrollable thirst, and today I had a craving for orange tang flavored water........weird

Im having headaches but i think its because im missing coffee. Take tylenol

June 30! I start the Liquid pre-op diet on Tuesday the 16th. I can't believe this is really going to happen!

I've never been a caffeine drinker so that's not the problem. And Tylenol doesn't give any relief. I guess I'll just chalk this up to the transition that my body is going through and hope this doesn't last too much longer.

June 18th for me! Excited and prepared. Good luck to everyone and looking forward to hearing all about our journeys together. ☺️

I had my surgery on the 10th also everything is fine except I cant seem to get 64oz of fluids down for the life of me Its too much then I feel bloated and my belly aches...and forget about food not happening just yet! I hope this part of the transition and that it will pass. In any case best of luck to all????

I am scheduled for June 15. I'm excited but nervous. I have told no one. My family is not supportive of the surgery. I have been planning on this for a few years, now.

Good luck! Sounds like you have figured out how to support yourself with this big step and you'll always have the BP folks like us to support you.

June 23rd for me. Was supposed to start my liquid diet (all shakes, diet sodas, sugar free popsicles and broth) on 6-15 but decided to start yesterday so I wouldn't have to think about work and the new diet at the same time. I got a bit weak yesterday afternoon but it hasn't been bad at all. Getting rid of my Water (about 5 pounds so far) has been a bit irritating going to the 'tinkler' so often but otherwise, I'm rather surprised that I haven't been hungry. I'll start on Clear Liquids on the 22nd and can drink up to 5 AM on the day of surgery. Hubby's on the liquid diet also.

Good luck

Hi LynRey, I'm having problems getting enough liquid as well. My program does not do protein shakes or powder or anything like that either. It's clear liquids right after surgery and then modified liquids for two weeks. So, day 2 of modified and unable to get down more than a couple of licks off the spoon. They say only three "meals" a day with liquids in between. So now I'm thinking this is where my headache is coming from. My body is in starvation mode. I get light-headed, dizzy, and just feel like crud. They have been very clear that protein shakes are a no-no so I'm unsure how to proceed at this point. I'm going to call the NUT tomorrow and hope for a remedy.

June 17 here - anxious, but feel prepared as possible. This site has been very helpful.

I'm June 17th too!! I'm excited but Nervous!

What do you mean by a modified liquid?

I will be interested in hearing back what your Nut's response is. Sounds a bit rough
