I am getting my surgery on 9/13 and I am a little nervous and excited. I see my surgeon on 9/7 so I guess I will ask most of my questions at that time. I was wondering if anyone has traveled on an airplane less than a month after surgery? I have a trip planned on 10/11 and I am not even sure how I will be felling by then and what I will be able to eat at that time; will I still be on pureed foods? I was also wondering if all patients have to be on a liquid diet before surgery? I know I am asking so many questions, just not sure what to expect. Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me..

I'm on the 13th also and have my dr appointment tomorrow. I am on a 2 week diet but the main thing is no meat, caffeine, sugar, or carbonated drinks. And Protein drink replacements

Hi 13th (or near as damn it) sleevers.

How is everyone doing?

Nearly 10 weeks out I'm loving life. Lost 60lbs, now eating normal food, still rial and error on portion on different foods. all old clothes gone, can fasten an airline seatbelt and I am mentally fit.

Been for my surgeon check up and all good, I'm now off all Meds bar my Multivitamin and my 3 monthly b12 injection. Will start to ramp up the exercise now

I'm still surprised how the UK and US differ in opinion on post op Protein liquids. Other than week one I did not have any.

So all gone to plan and loving the decision that I made. Friend and family have been mega supportive.

Below is my pre op and post 9 week shot.

@@olliesoda wow you look amazing! I am so happy to hear how well you are doing , 60 lbs lost is awesome. I have only lost 37 but I feel really good. I guess I am a slow loser but my knees and my feet appreciate some of the extra weight being gone. ????

I look forward to seeing more pictures of your progress! This journey is so exciting
