I just got my surgery date for March 5. I am excited and nervous at the same time but I'm trying to hold it all together.

Just saw the doctor. She has moved me to stage 2. Said everything looks great. Blood count is a Little low so they will watch that. Definitely staying one more night. But that’s ok. Did 4 laps in the halls this morning.
Pain has its moments. Only had Tylenol at midnight then didn’t ask for anything until 6:30 this morning. Gave me double hit. So that part is getting better as well.

Stage 2 full liquids?

Hi all. I was a March 1st and the first two days were rough for me. The gas was bad but not awful. But the pain was rough. I really couldn’t do water but watered down Gatorade worked much better. Ice pops were really helpful. At no point did I have narcotics - which was probably why the pain was bad. I’m on a mixture of Tylenol, gabapentin and some other type of pain neuro something or other. I thought I made a mistake yesterday but today I’m much more clear headed. Heating pad helped a ton too. Thanks for that suggestion. Hope all of you are doing well.

I'm starting to get a little nervous. It's all coming into focus. How LIFE CHANGING this is. I feel like I've been so cavalier up until now. Surgery is on Tuesday.

Yes full liquids. They said they will try stage 3 tonight. Protein shakes. I did just eat about 1/4 of chicken broth. So far belly has handled it ok. Nervous eating because not sure when to stop. Didn’t want to freak my belly out. Walking is going great. I’ve made 16 trips down the halls today.

Does anyone else get nervous when you read the posts from fellow sleevers that lost 15-20 in the beginning and then nothing else? Must admit it does make me a little nervous. It has got to be so devastating to Work so hard to get to this point and then you lose such a little amount of weight.

I guess everybody is different I was sleeved 2/27 and as of today 3/3 I’ve already lost 8 pounds

Wow. They're letting you move through quckly! I'm on clear liquids for a week, then full liquids weeks 2 and 3, then soft weeks 4 thru 6. I'm looking forward to full liquids. I'm hoping my surgeon clears me early for full liquids at my appointment Monday.

16 trips is awesome! Way to go!!

My liquid diet started last Monday. I am due for surgery on March 6th. I had 2 weeks liquid diet pre-op. I have been HANGRY and just now finding ways to feel like I'm eating something.

Please share bc I'm 1 week in to my two week and I'm starving. I was good in the beginning but now I'm dying!!!

So confused and concerned when my surgeon told me he would only be removing 50% of my stomach!!!
My surgery is today!?
Help?

Oh my! I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or bad. Did you request pictures? My surgeons office said they remove about 70%. How did things go for you? How are you feeling now?

Good luck everyone... my date is March 13... omg
Omg!!! Is this really happening .... I love this site...you have all been so helpful!!! Thank you thank you...start my 9
Day diet in the morning ... wish me

Even after you have your surgery, you'll still find it so hard to believe that you actually did it. I still can't believe I had the surgery.
