Any March 2018 Sleevers?

What is everyone doing to prepare for post op? Are you pureeing food and freezing it? I was told to puree approved food and store it in ice cube trays in the freezer- since that's the correct portion size...

Thoughts?

I don't actually do purees -- I go from Protein Shakes to Protein shakes+soft food to soft foods to regular foods.

I have a few homemade stocks frozen but I didn't want to do a bunch of freezing in case my stomach couldn't handle some of the items I froze. Some other sleevers have said that their tastes change a lot after the surgery so I didn't want to spend a lot of time making things that I wouldn't eat.

March 6 here!! Starting preop diet today. I am more nervous about that than I am the surgery...

Snap! I'm March 6th also. I'm 3 days into my 16 day preop diet, which is 14 days on Protein Shakes + meat/veggies. I'm finding it ok during the day, but a bit tougher in the evenings.

I'm doing terrible on this two week liquid diet. Seriously. It's so hard not eating. I'm so sick of shakes, I've never liked Jello or popsicles, and with a limit of one bouillon cube a day it's rough!! I'm forcing myself to eat the jello, but the days are just dragging by so slowly. I don't know how I'm gonna get through the next 8 days!!

The first day or so was tough, just getting the routine going and getting used to drinking all of the Water also.

I'm good with the Water. Of course, I spend more time in the bathroom than I do anything but the water isn't hard for me. I just feel awful, still, on day 6. At no point has this been easy, or easier. I keep waiting to get to that point.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
