I was just released after getting my sleeve put in yesterday at 10am. I'm sore but it's manageable. I wanna let everybody in on something. Everything is great until u wake up from anaesthesia. Upon waking up I don't care who you are it's shocking. I felt like I got ran over by a mack truck. The pain is bad and u really can't move for 5-6 hours with IV's and monitors hooked up too you. But don't worry it only goes up from there. My temperature was high until this morning so my doctor decided to release me. I'm now at home and resting which is way better than being stuck in the hospital confined. My abdominal region is very sore. From what I heard and read every day improves drastically. Just be prepared for the day of surgery that is by far theeee worst day. It's only up from here. Just remember this is a major surgery on a major organ so healing is done from the inside out. Good luck to everybody and I'm looking forward to seeing how everybody's surgery went.

    My surgery is next Wednesday, but I already hit my first milestone today. I started my journey at 333lbs. My doctor doesn’t require a pre-op diet so any real change in diet leading up to surgery is mostly on me. I made the decision to not wait until surgery to change my diet though because I didn’t want that drastic change from eating big portions to next to nothing. I figured I’d have a better chance of success having sort of trained by brain and body before hand. Well I had my last pre-op weigh in this morning at my doctor and I weighed in at 299lbs. Seeing my weight start with a 2 instead of a 3 was a huge boost mentally, and makes me look forward to getting this journey started all that much more.

    Have your sf popsicles and sf jello ready. I did the Premier Protien drinks because 8 know myself and if I had to prep, I would have failed. I am not sure if you get one meal a day, but I had that prepped too. God luck! Today is my last day on the diet before surgery tomorrow!



    I’m currently on day 10 of the liquid diet. I could that the protein powder keeps me full longer than the pre-made protein drinks. I may do the powder in the morning and evening, which 2 pre-made shakes, chicken broth, jello and popsicles in between. Also, water throughout the day

    I had the same feeling, but I lived. Surgery was 10/03, may your fears subside. Have a wonderful surgery.
