I don't even know how to do this :-0. Thanks for the info, it makes me feel so much better. Surgery is in three days, nerves are growing. Unfortunately I live in Spain and sugar-free popsicles and Jello are not really available. I do have a good amount of sugar-free jello I brought back with me. I know what you mean, I spend a lot of time in the US and grew addicted to the sugar-free popsicles, so maybe better we don't have them. I did buy a posicle mold and tried making my own, texture is way off from the commercial ones, I just basically get a popsicle shaped ice cube with some flavor. My doctor did say I would spend the first two nights in the hospital and he won't let me go home unless he feels I am able to. Thank you again, your words comforted me.



You will do great! Just one step at a time. And you will get through!! I’ve found a lot of support here and we’re here if you need us! Congrats

Bruno DM me. I can be a great deal of help
. I am a 37 yr old male and I live alone... my mom brought me home from surgery and stayed with me till about 10pm the day I was released. She wanted to stay the night but I told her to go home and sleep in her own bed. I've been taking care of myself basically since I was released from the hospital. It's doable. Your not gonna want to leave for I'd say 2-3 days post op. Just rest and let the body heel at home.. Get rid of ALL the food in your house cause u can't even touch any of it for like a month. Stock up on sugar free popsicles, SG free Jello, and SG free pudding. Also buy the genpro unflavored Protein and mix it with the pudding.. You'll be fine on your own unless u have another handicap not mentioned. I went back to the gym and felt good doing so on Day 8 Post op. Try to document as much as u can..also get reading material or find some new shows to leave. Cause it gets really boring at home

Can I just say I'm glad you put this out there? I love alone I'll be having surgery Nov 8th. My parents will be bringing me home and I'm pretty I'll have to duke it out with my mom about being left home alone, but I figure if I'm alone, I can rest (and heal) better!

I'm packing up inedibles tonight to take to my parents and buying my GENEPRO on Friday.

Your post let me know I'm on the right track :)

Your on a great track... just go into surgery as healthy a possible. We're all being honest, I had 1 binge day like 4-5 days before surgery but that was it. U definately want to go into surgery with your stomach and digestive system feeling healthy I'm sure that's why so many people have the Pre-op diet. My surgeon didn't but going in healthy I know made my recovery easier. Good luck !

A whole day. :-) :D

I was due to be sleeved Thursday two weeks ago and on the Monday preceding, my wife had come home from the delicatessen with slices of champagne ham and a block of 5yo aged extra tasty cheese. I made a 450 calorie sandwich on thick-sliced Finnan sunflower bread as my last break-out meal at about 9pm that evening. (Cos lettuce, Ox-heart tomatoes and lebanese cucumber on it too!)

Memorable!

Hello everyone

Today is my last day of pre-op clears and Protein Shakes. Tomorrow at this time I will be getting ready to go into surgery. I need to drop my dog in the kennel today, go to work, pick up my kids, then later they are going to their Dad's for 4 days ( I did not want to have to be driving etc, bur I kind of wish they would be here) I will have support of my GF, but she will be working 3-12 hour night shifts, so mostly on my own. I think I will be fine, but I am sure I will be checking in here for moral support!

I am sipping sipping but it's like drinking rocks! Man it goes down hard, I can't get released unless I am drinking 120cc in an hour - you would think that would be doable, right! HA

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
