I cannot wait for my September Gastric Sleeve Surgery. Anyone else having surgery that month?

Kristen117 , you enlightened me on something, I didn't know the staples came out, I thought they would be in forever, the new norm...staples in the belly for life. But its good to know this.

September 19 in the house!!! 8th day on liquid diet. I want a piece of fruit so bad.

I miss fruit so much. Lol

I survived day 1 of Liquid LOL!!! But I did find an amazing shake from GNC. Snickerdoodle and it's amazing!!! Just FYI

I'm not sure what staples she had out, but the ones in our new stomach stay in. I don't think I have any staples that will come out--my teeny tiny incisions have mostly healed.

I am scheduled for sleeve surgery sept 15th and excited to see so many of us on here! I'm day three of liquids and plugging along. Keeping my eye on the long term!

We are surgery day twins! I lost about 12lbs on preop diet- put a big smile on face. Surgeon and anastheliogists even commented on my upbeat attitude! Dry mouth during overnight in hospital was awful. I have this coming week off work, trying to stay hyrdated and getting some walking in. How are you doing? How are you sleeping?

Surgery in morning, Sept 18th. Im Nervous but almost with U At Finish Line. Todays day 14 on Liquid diet and down 14 more lbs. Totol lost since I began program on Aug. 28th is 45 lbs. Can't believe I made it thru 2 wk liquid diet. Amazingly I wasn't really hungry unless I was late for my drink. Good Luck All!!

Good luck in the morning- my surgery was 9/13... first couple days were not easy ... better everyday...

So Happy for U that it's over with. Im nervous. I'll be thinking of U tomorow an see you at the meetings. I might try the Salem Y program later on Saturdays with the others free for us. Stay Strong, & TY for imput. Congrats!!

Exciting times for all of us! Pre Op liquid diet is no fun. I'm ready for surgery. T - 4 Days!!

Sleeved on 12 September in Malaysia. Feeling absolutely great Best decison I have made in a long long time!

Well I have 7 more days to go. On the liquid with veggies. I'm having some serious weakness. Did anyone else deal with this. I don't even know what I'd feel like if I wasn't taking vits, iron and B12!!! Not having hunger pains, but dang getting out of bed is hard in the morning.

Great to hear! My surgery is tomorrow. Praying mine goes as well as yours

All the best for your surgery tomorrow! My only advice is to be excited and positive. Honestly pain was minimal for me and recovery so quick!

Hi! I have been on a liquid only diet. I have felt the very same way! Protein Shakes, popsicles & broth, only go so far. My surgery is tomorrow Hang in there! This is very hard to do, but, hopefully it will pay off for both of us
