Any February Sleevers?

I just got my surgery date. February 12th. It hadn’t felt real till now that it’s actually happening. I know it might sound weird but now the nerves are kicking in.

February 7, 2018! Feeling good so far. It’s hard not to go between liquids and soft foods before I am supposed to but thankfully my body is handling what I have thrown at it. Haven’t had anything unhealthy. Hope everyone else is well.


Tomorrow is the big day...feeling happy but nervous. This is the second bariatric procedure I've had. Ten years ago, I had a lap band procedure, but the band was removed in an emergency surgery about one year ago. Turns out, 1/3 of my stomach slipped through my band. Very painful. I was really worried about putting the weight back on, and I had gained 20 pounds since the removal of the band. I was supposed to have the surgery on January 3, but it had to be postponed. So, Happy Valentine's Day to me!

Wow. Same exact thing happened to me . I had my band taken out last December. Since then gained back 45 lbs. that’s why I am getting sleeve. My surgery is scheduled for this Thursday. Can’t wait.
One week post surgery - I am down exactly 10 lbs!!
One tip for those who have recently had, or will have surgery. Start on the stool softeners, Benefiber, Miralax, etc., you will regret it if you don't! (I speak from experience, lol!)



Help! I have benefiber and don't know how to incorporate it
Did you just mix it into your water?

I hadn't started it until today, which was a mistake! But today I put it in my protein shake.

I too am having surgery tomorrow 2/20! We got this! [emoji106]?[emoji120]?

Me too! I’m having surgery on the 28th. Geeez! And this liquid diet is a lot harder than I expected. I hate talking to myself- lol! I’m so looking forward to a new way of life! I’m petrified of failing but at the same time I think this is going to be what I needed.
