Hi Kafinator,

sounds like today is your day. Best wishes that everything goes very smoothly. I am two days out and can't believe how much better I feel already. Each day it got so much better. Hoping for the same for you!

April 10 for me.
Day 10 of 3 week, liquid only, 1000 calorie diet. Down 19 pounds. Very tired.
Overall happy and very excited. I've been mourning food, though. Brie. Bacon. Kale. Melted mozzarella or cheddar. Subway Chipotle sauce. They top the list.
At least the premier chocolate shakes taste good.
Hope your pre and post surgery stuff is going okay.

My surgery is on 3/30 also. I would love a buddy to gain and provide support to as we go through this!




I had mine 3/29. How are you doing? I'm feeling pretty good. I am so sick of the shakes they turn my stomach and taste so sweet. Started purée today. Maybe just a couple spoonfuls and that was it.

Surgery is on the 9th of April, so in about 24 hours!!! Going through so many mixed feelings about it, fear that I'm going to ruin my life and regret this... I'm only 16 and my BMI is 38 but I'm blessed to have supportive parents and a surgeon who's a family friend, but I'm getting it done in a public hospital here. Not the greatest environment to be in but just praying I won't have a bad experience. Any advice for my first days of recovery? Do you think I'd be able to go back to school in 8 days?

Not sure if youll be able to go back in 8 days or not, I was sleeved 8 days,ago and could definitely have went back today, but my surgeon requores 14 days out. Also, are you going to be able to sip Water all day in school? Also, if you experonece nausea, it may be the pain medicine you are on, once they awitched me i didnt habe any more nausea. Good Luck!

I'm so sick of shakes! I went for my follow up on Wednesday, it went well. I was put on pureed foods then. What are you eating for pureed food? All of a sudden I feel like I don't know what to eat, lol. I'm feeling pretty well though, I think I'll go back to work mid week or beginning of next week. Honestly, I have enjoyed being off and foxusing on myself, I'm a mental health social worker so the break was good bc it never stops at work. What about you, do you work and if so, when do you return to work?

I will definitely be able to sip water throughout the day and I'll make sure to communicate with my teachers regarding my surgery and anything I'd need. Just knowing that I'll be fine in about 8 days is enough to comfort me! Thank you so much!!!

My biggest complaint would be how tired I am. Its annoying because I have 4 kids with tons of energy. I'm hoping this will change soon.

I am in bed all day. Luckily I homeschool. My hubby is annoyed though. I am currently looking up B12 shots.... eating even makes me tired. I don't feel bad I just feel tired.

When does that change?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
