Hi all i would love to be buddies with anyone going through this. Im 5'3 196lbs goal weight 145lbs. I have high blood pressure and recently diagnosed with diabetes. I haven't started my medication for diabetes yet cause I'm going to be sleeved. I have received my surgery date yet but my Dr asked me to start my pre op liquid diet. I was gonna start it today but gave in this evening . So hopeful I start it tomorrow. It's for 10 days ughhh..

Don't beat yourself up --- we are where we are because we struggle with this. You can't just expect because "you're supposed to go liquid for 10 days" that you can just do it immediately. Just pick yourself up and each day do something slightly better than you did it the day before. We can't compare ourselves to perfection. That gets us into trouble every time! Hang in there and keep us posted on how you're doing!! You got this!

I had my sleeve same date! How are you doing? I'm having trouble getting my liquids in. I think it will get easier though.

Doing pretty good - all the nausea and pain are behind me. Now just fighting being weak. Hopefully that will pass before I return to work Tuesday. I stepped on the scale this morning and was stunned to see that I am down 18 pounds from my starting weight! I almost fell off the scale. I'm usually the one who doesn't lose the weight.

That's great! I'm going back to work Tuesday as well. What fluids are you getting in?

I went to subway and strained their chicken noodle Soup. Then, I bought some Protein Water and poured it over ice and have been sipping and chewing soft ice off and on all day. Had 1 bite of sf chocolate pudding and 2 sips of Premier Protein shake.

Hey! We share sleeve dates! Mine was at 8 am. I'm 31 years old and 202 lbs.

How are you doing so far?

[Omieliz 213]

Hi All, it will be two weeks tomorrow since we were sleeved on 8/31! I'm doing great and see my doctor today. My scale says I'm down 22 pounds since 8/31, and I lost 32 pounds prior to surgery. I'm having some pain under my left ribs and I'm getting pretty fatigued by the afternoon, but overall, I'm doing well!

Was doing ok until I decided I could probably handle some watered down grits. Someone came and started talking to me and I got distracted and was eating like an unsleeved person (lol) .... Looked down and realized I had eaten over 1/2 the bowl. Within minutes I knew exactly what people have been talking about when they say they got the foamies ..... Mouth started filling up with Water, my chest was getting super tight, I had pain between my shoulder blades and before I knew it ... Bye, bye grits. That was crazy! And something I don't ever want to do again!

The rest of the day was back to liquids! My poor body needed a break.

Haha yeah I know the feeling. I had the balloon before I did the sleeve so my tummy is used to such things, hence I don't get foamies at all now. I do feel ill if I eat something with milk or too much sugar or too fast and I need to lay down and moan for a little while

Hi all I finally received my sleeve date September 26. I had to get off my liquid diet because I was losing to much weight before surgery. Dr didn't want my BMI to go lower because then the surgery would be can. But will start it back up the 22.

Much better than earlier today - I was the one that posted above about my first experience with getting the foamies. Was a rough morning! Lots of great things learned today tho!
