I am scheduled to have my sleeve done on October 6th (started the process on March 1st, 2015.) I'd love to have a "surgery buddy" who is having the procedure the same day or very close to the date. Anyone interested?

MarciaN give an update how are you doing? Liquid diet again?

Day 5 Update: I couldn't be happier with where I am.

1. NWH lets us eat a 900 calorie diet up to the night before surgery and blended 48 hours after surgery, so I never had to endure the liquid diet ordeal.

2. I have been building up my diet and drinking since Thursday. Yesterday I ate about 700 calories and almost 70 grams of protein. I'm having no problem drinking over 64 ounces a day.

3. Almost no pain - just on the sutures. I can tell if I eat/drink too fast, but I wouldn't call it pain.

4. I'm sleeping soundly, but only about 7 hours a night. That means in bed at 9:00 and up at 4:00, which is creeping out the neighbors.

5. Been walking since Day 2 - a mile a day in the hospital. Yesterday I went out for over an hour (5 miles).

6. Started driving Friday.

7. Weight

HW: 281 - 40.2

SW: 250

CW: 245

I know it's early in my post-opt journey, but it's going much better than I expected.

Woke up and finally BM'd. Somehow, that seems like a real accomplishment.

There will be no more self-respect after this process! "Yippie, I pooped everyone!"
