Good luck! One week for me, but we're all in this together. One day, we'll all be doing the things we love, and knowing we made the right choice.

I was done on the 9th. Almost through the 2 weeks of clears. Bad issues with the head hunger. I have leftover Optifast in my fridge and that is looking tasty, lol. Hell, the cats wet, canned food is almost looking good (just kidding). I will start full liquid on Thursday. That means some shakes and other stuff with a little more substance.

My current worry is that I am supposed to have lunch with my mom tomorrow and the parents do not know I did this.Trust me, it's better this way. I'm not sure how I'm gonna get through this. I'm in town for a job interview so maybe I can just get some Soup and pawn it off as nerves. There's also soft boiled eggs (she's got celiac so we usually do Breakfast places) but that's not exactly clear.

Ideas, anyone?

Hmm.. Soup is a good idea. It's hard especially this early in the game since we are so restricted. Will you still be on clears? Maybe just sip tea and tell her you don't feel well because of nerves. If your diet allows the eggs I would just go for it. It's so weird how every surgeon has a different diet to follow.

It is so weird. Mine was liquid only 2 weeks pre-op and Clear liquids 2 weeks after. Then, full liquids for another week! I also had a 41 BMI, some of his patients have to do 6 weeks pre-op!

12 weeks out here. Feeling better everyday. Soup again tonight for dinner. *sigh* I keep telling myself this liquid diet is only temporary. I guess I never realized how used to stuffing my face without giving it a second thought I had gotten. food addiction is a very real thing.

^^^ I meant TWO weeks out, not 12. Freudian slip! Sorry!

Sleeved on the 6th and went back to work today. I am a teacher and struggled majorly with getting in fluids and Protein. Any suggestions?

Hey Jonitra I was sleeved on the same day. I've been flavouring my Water and it helps. A bit of juice added in is one option. The other thing I've been doing is making a cup of super concentrated herbal tea (enough tea for 4-5 cups in one mug), then I put it in the fridge. I add a little bit to each bottle of Water to give it a flavour kick. It lasts a few days in the fridge. I mix it up with the herbal tea flavours.

I was done the 15th - go back to work the 27th. I'm a bit nervous it's too early.

Good luck @@Jonitra - hope all goes well for your 1st day back!

Hi! Im scheduled for sleeve 9/29/16, in a week. Im nervous/excited. My surgeon doesnt require a pre-op liquid diet. Im feeling weird about that like maybe i should go ahead and do liquids the week prior anyway :-/. I would love to meet and follow along with some people having surgery around sept/oct to share our journey and support eachother.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
