Sleeved November 8th. Today I woke up feeling alone. Yesterday I had a mental break down because I wanted to eat something with salt. Everything on the liquid diet is sweet besides broth. In tied of broth

Thats what we do, right? Feel a little sad/mad and we eat. Is there any sort of veggie Soup you like that you can strain? Or search Pinterest for some ideas? So I'll try to prepare myself for wanting to taste salt.

Hello,

Yes, I am having my sleeve surgery on Monday (Nov 14th).

I have been sticking to the pre-op diet, taking my Vitamins, drinking my Protein Shakes daily. I didn't find that the diet was difficult at all.

Shakes: Premier Protein shake which has about 22g of Protein per 8oz. serving. Have them in vanilla and chocolate. Not bad at all, but before I run out, I might order a different brand.

Also ordered some unjury Protein Powder and tried it in place of one of the shakes. Mixed it in 8 oz. of chicken broth. It was real good.

Just found this place and I think it is so cool.... and had fun going through the store.... can't wait to try a few items I saw there.

2 more days! Woohoo!

Not feeling nervous at all... just excited. I am so ready for this!

I wish all of you November sleeve patients the best! Stay positive. :)

You're right that is what we do. Idk about straining Soups because of the different spices that we can't consume post-op but my first doctor's appointment is tomorrow and boy do I have a lot of questions. Thank you for reminding me to stay focused

My surgery is set for November 29, 2016.

I am new to this site. I had my pre op meeting with my surgeon today. Getting a little nervous. Never had any kind of surgery before.

I'm flying to Tijuana to on Sunday to have my sleeve done on Monday.

Anyone else go to Mexico? How was your experience?

Wishing all the November sleevers a speedy recovery.

Hi, how was your surgery? How are you feeling? I had mine on the 11 in TJ. Doing great here. I just had some gas pain

How are you doing/feeling?

Hi. I am feeling good, better than i thought Id be. I had a lot of pain on my shoulders. I also had a hiatal hernia repair with the sleeve, so think that is what caused this pain. Other than that i am fine. Sticking with the clear liquid diet.

Today is the day. I'm starving. I haven't 'eaten' since Wednesday evening. I feel bad for all the pre-op liquid diets out there. I'm not supposed to drink Water except to take my meds, my surgery isn't until 3:30. You can better bet I'm taking each pill separately, hehe.

Okay, so I spoke to the WLS center today and they ask to move my surgery up by 1 week. So now it will be on the 25th. I am so cautiously excited but I know this will be good for me.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
