Hi all

I'm scheduled for surgery May 1, 2017 and wondering if there are any fellow May Sleevers out there.

I am really struggling with this whole liquid diet thing and i am only on the 2nd day. Please tell me it gets at least a little easier.

I start my liquid diet May 8. Lemme know if it gets any better.

My surgeon said I don't have to do it as my BMI is under 35 but I remember it from being banded. Boredom was my biggest issue so a variety of flavours is helpful.

I will.. Good luck in your prep and successful surgery. Hopefully we can get some tips that are helpful in this phase.

Seraya how are you holding up?

@Jen727BF how are you doing with the clear liquids tonight? Two weeks from today I will be doing my clear liquids diet. Honey, I wish you the best and kick surgery behind.???

My BMI is 29 and my revision surgery is on the 25th, but I still have to do the liquid diet. My surgeon said this had nothing to do with my current weight or BMI, but instead is to ensure my liver is as healthy as possible and not enlarged for the surgery as this gives the best outcome. I'm in Sydney Australia, so maybe we do things differently down here?

May 24th here!

I kind of wondered about that as when I had it done in 2009 I also didn't have to do it for the same reason but I had a really difficult recovery with a lot of liver inflammation after my surgery. I am actually thinking about doing it for a week anyways just so that I can shrink the liver down and hopefully have an easier recovery than I did last time.

Hi all [emoji4]

Good luck today!

The May sleeving has commenced! Good luck early sleevers!
Just pre registered. Three weeks from today I'll be on the losers bench.

Hi everyone! I made it to the loser's bench!!! All went well. I did wake up in lots of pain. Nurse gave me morphine and I started feeling better. I did have some nausea but it cleared. No gas pain yet (I'm knocking on wood it stays that way!).

Good luck to all the May 2nd sleevers!

My date is set for 5/17/17 [emoji51][emoji51]! I started a support groupme if anyone wants to join! You're invited to my new group 'May 2017 VSG Group' on GroupMe. Click here to join: https://groupme.com/join_group/30849159/TIPSIv
