I get sleeved on the 15th. 11th day of the liquid diet, first 3 days I had a horrible headache, after that pretty smooth sailing.

Good luck to everyone out there anxiously awaiting the big day!

12/16/15 is my surgery date. 3week pre-op diet is still going well, but wrapping up work items so my backup is all set is stressful. My husband and adult son have been very supportive. My pre-op call to cover questions and confirm surgery etc. I found out I can change into my pj's after surgery, (yes many other more important items covered, but this news just made me happy for some reason). Hopefully nausea will be controlled well enough.

I'm 12/15/15 also...I can't wait. I started this journey in August of 2015 when I finally made the decision after 2 years of considering it.

In August I weighed in at 502lbs. Currently I'm at 448 and ready to go.

Good luck to everyone!

Tuesday the 15th! 10 day liquid diet going fine - 12 lbs lost! BUT, having to give up my Celebrex for RA is killing me. Meeting with my regular Dr after surgery to try to find a patch or liquid substitute.

Soooo, how's everyone doing 3 days post op? My pain seems to be going away and I'm able to drink and eat okay. My sleeve definitely lets me know when I go too fast or have too much.

Things are going a lot better. Sleeved on 12/15. The day after surgery was sooooo painful. The gas pains made me want to cry and almost puke a couple times. I could hardly sleep and the whole keep moving thing that the nurses kept telling me did no help at all.

Now that I'm home, I feel a lot better. I found a good way to sleep so I'm comfortable. I am easily getting my fluids in and was able to drink some Protein too! I am excited to start pureed foods in a couple days.

You got this!!! Just stay focused on your fluids and rest. ????????????????

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
