So tomorrow 19:00hrs 9/13 is sleeve day.

Pre-op diet went well...lost around 20lbs in the two weeks. I'm motivated, I have had a word with myself and we agreed we are ready and excited about the future. No second thoughts.

However crapping myself with the magnitude of the next 24 hrs.

So this time tomorrow I will be post op and on my way to a better, healthier wardrobe... I mean life .

Thanks for the support from contributors here on the forum. Long may it continue. I look forward to sharing my before and afters at some stage ...!

See you on the other side.

It is so worth it and was actually not as painful as I thought. I'm 1 week post op Gastric bypass. Good luck! ????

Thank you so much.

So had my first full day post op yesterday. Wound pain was ok, thanks to drugs! Trapped gas was a challenge but frequent walking helped that.i managed to take in 1400 ml of various fluids need to get that to 2000ml today.

All in all better than I expected

I followed this plan lots and lots of Water. I had a shake for lunch and the lunch/dinner option at night. I had fruit occasionally too. Hope this helps good luck!

The hospital or surgeons I've looked at here make you do liquid diet for two weeks prior. I rather yours. How are you coming along?

I think the UK and US offer differing advise especially around Protein pre and post operation. If in doubt id follow your own surgical team directions. This worked for me losing over 20lbs in the two weeks.

So how's the belly pain? I heard about gas pain, I so worry about that

Gas pain is so worst than the incision pain! I'm a week post op and wind pain is by far the worst but is getting better day by day!

I won't lie there has been gas pain. BUT... If you walk and move around it calms straight away. It is starting to dissipate now. I've been sleeping in a recliner for last two nights that's helped, I struggled in bed. It's only for a few days so worth it. Overall I have had little pain. Luckily don't worry to much. It's all for the good!

Thanks so much. I have a hanging abdomen (I had lost 70 lbs already on my own)... I get gas from that and at times it's been excruciating, so that's been a fear of mine. Thank you so much. I just told my hub yesterday (as much I don't like Lazy boy recliners) we need one. Definitely will be getting one before. I will follow your advise. ????

It's not intestinal gas. It's the gas used to expand your abdomen during surgery so they have more room to operate. It usually only goes away with walking or moving. It's usually in your chest cavity and often goes to your shoulders. Walk, walk, walk...

Thanks for sharing

Hi all. Just got home today from sleeve surgery yesterday. I'm trying to stay hydrated, but it is so hard. Gas/incision pain and pain everytime I take a sip of anything. How lobby does this last? What's the worst part before you get to the good side of the mountain?

Mine lasted about three days. After that I felt pretty good. I am now almost 4 weeks post-op, and some days it's still hard to stay hydrated. I catch myself wanting to take huge drinks. I guess it's a bit hard to get used to for me! I hope you get to feeling better soon. Best wishes to you
