I have a date of 1/5/16. Like many others, I'm wondering if anyone else is close to having surgery on this date so we can compare notes and try to help boost our spirits if we're struggling. I'd love to hear from anyone!

Hi everyone! I had my sleeve on Jan 4 and yesterday, I went in for my first post op appointment with the surgeon. I'm doing well enough to come into work for a few hours today... It has been a challenge sitting in an office chair but I get up every so often and move around.

Was sleeved on Jan 7th. Had complications with low blood pressure, low red blood & low potassium. Finally got to come home on the 11th!! I am doing ok getting fluids in, walking & using incentive spirometer. Have 2 week post opt. appt. on the 19th. Not sure on weight loss yet as I was so bloated after being pumped full of IV fluids to get blood pressure up. Excited to get weighed on Tues. Hope all those who had surgeries recently are doing well

Acher, I'm sorry about your difficult time... I hope you're all better! Take good care

Hi there I had my surgery January 5th day I surgery I was 294 and I'm at 10 day post op . I'm at 269 . 25 pounds down . I was wondering if anyone was eating anything yet ? I'm still shakes and pudding water etc.... I want to try redraws beans but maybe to soon yet or actually something different . I know I can't eat muck cause just the pudding is hard to get down . Any help??

Hi - I was also sleeved on 1/5/16 - by Gregg Jossart in San Francisco. I'm doing ok but am really looking forward to mushy food! How about you?

Should have added: I was 244 day of surgery, am 5'9, was in hospital two nights. I had zero stomach pain and feel totally recovered. I also had a hiatal hernia repaired and am a former bander. I've noticed that some doctors are okay with yogurt as part of the "liquid" phase but my doctor didn't say I could have it. I am dying for a FAGE yogurt as I have been consuming one container of 2% per day for a few years. As soon as I am able - I will be back to what I think is a fabulous combo: I put several containers of FAGE in a food processor along with organic carrots, organic almonds, garlic clove, a bit of salt. I have no idea why I love this so much but I do. I'd eat 4 of them a day if I could afford to. I have (or was having) it every day first thing in the a.m. and it gave me multiple hits of good things: antioxidants, Fiber, Protein. Just my little tip. Hang in there everyone - I think the very worst of it is behind us (waiting for surgery).

I had my surgery yesterday afternoon! Currently recovering in the hospital room. Right out of surgery I was in so much pain. Nauseous, tired, dry month, incisions felt awful. I cried and thought about why I put myself through this but in a few hours I was up and walking and I've been walking lots ever since. I feel wonderful and I can't wait to start seeing and feeling my results

I was sleeved 1/8!! I'd love to compare notes.

I was sleeved Jan, 5th 2016!

I had my sleeve on the 12th I'm sore no complications struggling to get all of my liquids and proteins in

January 20th here. I got my date Thursday at my last appointment. "Stuff" just got real!!!

Hi Bee, I am also having it on the 20th. How are you preparing for it? What are your feelings about it? Mine is more like fear/worry than excitement and this sucks.

I'm January 20th also !

Me too! How do you feel about it? I'm glad I found people having it on the same day

Mine is the 27th also. Currently following the food pre op diet
