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.

March 20th here! ?[emoji112]

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!!!

Oh my gosh, I am DYING!!! And not really losing the weight that I should be for being on liquids only and starving. I just got other protein shakes and unflavored protein to add to stuff, but in all honesty I want hot wings!

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.

I am having trouble with realizing this is real life and it's really happening on Tuesday. Like, my life is changing- and I just feel like this is all temporary.

I haven’t told any of my family. Just my wife and a close friend knows. At work I told them I’m having abdominal surgery.

Same here. I told one friend I hadn’t planned to because she was in the company of other friends who knew and she was horrible. Not in a rush to deal with the judgement again.

Well 3:30 in the morning. Officially started stage 1 now. Able to start little itty bitty sips of Water now every hour. Pain is not to bad. Had pain meds at midnight and don’t feel I need them right now. Walked a total of 5 laps last night. Very happy about that. Staff here is just amazing!!!
Today is going to be great!!! I can tell.

How are you doing ?

How are you doing ?

Not to bad. Bit of a rough night. Pain got pretty bad last night. Made me nauseated again. The hit me with double dose of pain meds and anti nausea med. then nurse made me up two ice packs. Those helped a lot. Got up a bit ago and got couple laps down the hall done. Waiting till 8am for protein shake. Then doc should be in to let me know if I’m getting out today. Had to have more blood work to see if my count is still off. So all is going as expected. One step at a time in this new journey .

Hey so

I posted before just after my op on 28 February. I’m 4 days post op and 4kg lighter (8.8 lbs) already. It’s so tough guys. Really. I’m happy I’m doing it and no regrets but psych yourself up for a difficult first few days. And don’t worry because I’m a wuss so if I can get through this recovery you damn well can too!! Plus in the USA you have heaps of interesting protein options and bariatric food options for recovery that we don’t have here in Australia.

I have another suggestion, once you’re able to start tracking your fluid intake so you know what you’re getting. I’ve got my favourite plastic Disney cups that have seen better days and marked ml on them with a sharpie, just 50ml and 100ml. Then I can note down in my (Disney) notebook for each date:

time / fluid type/ fluid volume

and also medications. It’s important to have a sense of how much fluid you’re managing to get overall. I’m borderline getting 1l a day so I can’t afford to go below that. Tracking helps.

Getting Sleeved tomorrow March 5th! I live in Japan ?? but am from Toronto Canada ? So psyched, scared, hyped, petrified and strangely... calm. Check out my channel on YT with the same handle! Good luck everyone!

Day 7 pre-op for me, it is getting easier.

Congrats to our newly sleeved, and good luck to the folks having surgery this week!!

Surgery is tomorrow morning and I can't believe it. Been Hangry for the past 2 week but I'm ready and nervous for this next stage.

Best of luck to all getting sleeved tomorrow, I'm following you on Tuesday!

Gonna be a big day for you 2 and there will be several more following you this week. Good luck to all of you!
