Hello everyone. So excited to hear all your journey. Can’t wait to update with mine. After a little snafu, I am scheduled for the sleeve on 4/19. That’s tomorrow. TO.MOR.ROW! Nervous and anxious.

I’m 45 from Los Angeles, and one of those lower BMI, but still obese with multiple comorbidities. Fortunately/Unfortunately, after my preop liquid diet, I loss just enough to be no longer qualified. Instead, I’m having mine in Mexico, as I’m stalled, still have comorbidities, and in no way able to sustain that diet on my own. Wishing everyone the best and speedy recovery!

Vaya con dios Islandgyrl--' every little thing gonna,be all right and tomorrow night we all want an update ?

Wishing you the best!

I think we are ALL looking forward to your guys' experiences!! Please share even if it's the most minute thing. Share your wisdom please even if it is from your 1st or 2nd week!

New guy here, my date is 4/30, and wow I'm starting to get nervous!

I had my sleeve done on the 10th and feeling pretty good and down 11 lbs from surgery day. Still sore at the larger incision site where they removed the stomach, but that is to be expected. So far, I have been able to keep up with my fluids and protein, but the shakes are so sweet now, that they have been harder to get down. I bought some of the soups and hot chocolate from the Bariatric Pal store with the extra protein and just got them in today, so that will be a nice change up. Hope everyone is doing well and to everyone that will be sleeved soon, I wish you all the best!

I was sleeved April 3rd, the taste buds changes quickly. I use to like the shakes and after surgery the vanilla was sickly sweet. Then they started to make me sick so I switched to powder...again sick. My doctor told me to switch to unflavored powder and sprinkle the protein in my greek yogurt, egg whites, and applesauce. So I get as close as I can to my protein intake daily. Monday I'm graduating to soft and squishy foods. I can find foods high in protein and meet my intake. Bye bye liquids

Isn't it amazing how quickly our tastes buds change? Some of the ones I liked before, I can barely stomach. I know you are ready to move on to the next stage! It will be so much easier to get protein in from different sources. I had bought the unflavored powder too, been adding it to my broths and pudding. Every little bit helps, that's for sure. Wishing you all the best!


Mine was the 16th. How are you feeling?




I had mine on the 16th and I’m questioning why I did this:(. I feel like I feel hunger like real hunger but it could be head hunger... idk. However it does feel real to me. I’m on liquids and trying to get in my vitamins. I’m 3 days out. Has anyone felt this way?
