Anyone else set for 4/20 or there abouts?

Submitted my paperwork with my surgeon and it is being sent off to my insurance. They gave me a tentative date for 4/20 at 7 AM!!! Both my pre-op appt and hospital registration appointments are set too. Totally stoked and excited and nervous!

Any one else having their surgery and/or tentatively scheduled your sleeve surgery for around 4/20ish? Would love to hear from ya, if so!

@@mskittykat03 I'm feeling really good, just a little soreness. I'm not taking any pain/nausea meds. I'm sorry you're not feeling good. Each day will get better!

Anesthesia is not my friend. That's what caused my issues. Incisions are not bad, intake is awful. Can't manage much. Better than yesterday so you are right it will get better.

When are you allowed full liquids? I start tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. I sometimes cramp a little when drinking, but I'm getting in most of my required fluids.

I can have full liquids now as well as yogurt & puddings. Not feeling it. Not meeting my goals but still trying. Better today than yesterday.

@Luckygirl8. Congrats to you on your journey. I will also be sleeved on 28 April. I am also in the pre-op diet which requires me to have 4 Shakes, 2 protein bars, 1 banana or cup of skim milk, up to 4 servings of sugar free jello and Popsicles. Has not been to bad, but I must say the best part of my day is the banana.

Oh @@Elle09 I want a banana lol! My surgeon said no bananas for a long due to the sugar :( My pre-op is all liquid.
