Hi all I noticed there are several people being sleeved on the 1st. Introduce yourselves and let's motivate each other and keep in touch! I'll go first. I'm 5'5" HW 242

CW 232 GW 160. I am extremely nervous about the procedure, but I am also excited.

When you say replace breakfast what do you mean? Is there some other option you get for breakfast? I'm Protein shakes and broth all day until Monday.

I am on full liquids now which includes sugar free pudding, blended yogurt and low fat creamed Soups strained. So I skip the food at breakfast now and only have shake.

Ah! Ok!!! Makes sense! Those aren't even options in my "full liquids"! I would love some Greek yogurt!

Hi y'all! When I started this journey I was 240, sw 239 cw 169 gw 140. I am almost a year out of having a sleeve, and go in on Monday at 5:30 for the bypas. My doc requires 3 days liquid before the surgery. One day down two more to go

You have had such good results with the sleeve, what is making you go the bypass route now? Just curious

I was sleeved Feb 1st! HW: 263; SW: 250; CW: 235. Am feeling great! I'm a psych nurse. So glad to have ended the diet roller coaster. I feel like I have been slave to my weight for far too long!

All dairy, with the exception of an occasional bite of cheese, makes my stomach cringe right now. It's such a horribly gross feeling

Yes it almost feels like milk is punishment!

Hi all. My VG surgery was on Feb 10 (just an extra 0)! I'm 2 days postop and really want to go home. I'm at McGee Womens Hospital. It's cold, smells like a hospital and is very noisy. I'm trying to drink 60cc of water/half hour. It's hard & I have to ask for Zofran & reglan around the clock so I may have to stay an extra day. Did anyone out there have this problem too?

I did. I was in the hospital 4 days because of nausea vomit and couldn't keep anything down. But it gets easier. Take it one step at a time. There is light at the end of the tunnel. ☺️

Sorry you are having trouble. I didn't have those issues but the gas had me thinking I was going to die. But, I am so greatful to say it is temporary and it will pass and you will feel better.

I am on day 11 and there is no more discomfort... I started walking again a mile a day... and I feel better already. ???? try to relax and enjoy your time with nothing to do. ????

I already get puree. I get soft foods starting this weekend. Which I don't really understand. I have been told to stay away from carbs but some of the soft foods they list are Mac n cheese & oatmeal. ????

Soft foods? I am "allowed" but that doesn't mean that I can. ???????? Just focusing on getting in all the liquids & and a few bites of things here and there and then my tummy HATES me....and not being successful at hitting 64oz. BUT, Each day is a new day...sick of saying that to myself, but...what ev, keep trying.

Yah found out today I'm dehydrated. Need more liquids even though all I have are liquids.

Try caring a big water bottle around with u at all times. This is how I remember to drink plenty of water.

I was told soft oatmeal is fine but never heard of Mac and cheese. Every doctor is different I guess. Hope you enjoy ☺️

I'm scared????... don't want to introduce carbs back yet. I went through carb withdrawals and that wasn't cute. I felt horrible. ???? And there isn't enough fiber in our diets to support that quantity of cheese. ????????
