It's looking like 9.25.17 might be a go! Trying to stay positive! Yeah.... the liquid diet is no fun at all. Kicking coffee is worse for me..... I've drank it since I was born....well, a long time! lol Try to take it easy, try deep breathing & meditate, read a book or just try something new. Did you start a journal of this new chapter in your life? ................... This too will pass, as they say! ................... Praying for you! [emoji5]

Great! Wishing you all the support and encouragement and success!

Hello everyone! I am new to this blog as of 3 min ago. I want to start off by saying, prayers for all who will be getting sleeved in the near future. I know you will do well. As for me, my sleeve was scheduled for today but got postponed until Sept 6th because the Dr. is on vacation. I'm actually having my lap band removed and converting into the sleeve. My lap band experience was horrible and the acid reflux I developed from the band was not worth it. So I decided to convert to the sleeve hoping to get better results. I never lost much weight with the band. I've started my liquid diet 3 days early with yesterday being my first weighing in at 223 lbs. Yesterday was a struggle. Today was better so far. Is there anyone else on their 2 week pre op liquid diet? Would love to hear your experience thus far and any pointers from being bored with the same foods.

I am on the last leg of my preop diet. Endoscope on Friday and surgery is on Monday 8/28. This has been a rough 2 weeks.

How are my 8/21 surgery pals all doing? Post-op day one was lousy for me, but it has been getting better each day. I am able to drink several ounces at a time.

I hope you are all well.

8/21 sleeved. I'm doing okay. First night was horrible b/c the pain meds made me dry heave over and over and that doesn't feel great with stomach incisions. Oh yeah, my nurses tried to give me crackers to make me less nauseous. Whaaaat? Probably wouldn't have killed me (maybe?) but just the fact that they knew so little about me and my surgery was scary. My doctor doesn't allow anything, not even ice chips the first day. That sucked too. Anyway, at home now trying to adjust to my new life. Really sick of crystal light, can't stomach broth and I've always hated Jello. Just trying desperately to not get dehydrated. Also having a hard time finding comfortable positions to sleep.
How is everyone else???

8/15 sleeved. Doing ok. Continuing with Protein Shakes, yogurt and Soups. Realized some cream soups are high in sodium and carb so trying to be more aware of them. Been sleeping on loveseat recliner since I came home because I am a side/stomach sleeper and though I wasn't restricted, prefer sleeping on an angle right now. Do you like yogurt? Once I came home my dr let me introduce yogurt and thicker soups.

Best of luck to everyone! 👍🏻😁
