Please share your surgery date/ what u are experiencing during the pre op diet etc... For me I'm in my 11th day in the diet, it's hard but not impossible! I'm just hoping everything goes well. Keep me in your prayers!!! ~Looking for friends

December 9th. On full liquids at the moment will move to mushies phase next week.

How is your experience after the surgery? Any pains or got better each day?

It does get better everyday. The pain from the gas was probably the worst. I walked a lot and that helped immensely. That pain was gone in 4 days. I'm definitely sore, it feels like I did a million sit ups. I am been blessed as I have not experienced nausea or throwing up. I hate taking the Lovenox shots daily.

I have no problems getting my Protein or Water in.

All in all my experience has been mostly positive.

Dec 28...I am on day 2...so far so good

New to the team starting at 356 now and waiting on my surgery date next month to be sleeved and ready to start my new journey..

My surgery is on 12/29. I'm on day five of the two week Optifast diet. I've doing okay, but the only thing I have been craving is a piece of chicken. Does anyone else feel sort of mild nausea from Optifast? The ladies at work did a cookie exchange and gave me 4 dozen cookies! UGH! I had my husband take them to work with him. I wasn't tempted to eat any, so that was good!

OmG all the time...I'm in my last day of the diet and still yesterday I saw my mom and husband eating rice w beans and chicken with broccoli... I was tempted with the piece of chicken lol BUT I was so brave instead I open my refrigerator and grab my already made strawberry sugar free jello And I was able to sleep lol

Congratulations . Ladies just to know we are able to be strong and stand. And work hard at eating healthy. Also fighting temptation. It's not easy but it can be done.

Dec. 28th and I have to do 1 day of liquids before, then 2 weeks of liquids after then I get to move to phase 2.

The preop diet is hard!! I had my sleeve a week ago. I'm still on full liquids but it's so much easier now. My surgery went great and I feel awesome now!

Omg...I'm so hungry...I see why people cheat so much!
