Yes, popsicle is on my Clear Liquids list! I’ll be having one soon ?

Just be sure they’re sugar free or you’ll most likely experience dumping.

i'm june 25 as well

My surgery date is June 26 for the Sleeve.

Just had my cardiac clearance today.

All that is left is clearance from my PCP and a pre-op education class.

My first appointment with the surgeon was April 18.

I am cash pay so this process has gone really fast.

My PCP has wanted me to do the sleeve for years, but I thought I could do this myself. The orthopedic doctors said I needed back surgery and both knees replaced. After doing some research I found out that while the surgeries could be successful, I would not have a positive outcome unless I lost a lot of weight. Made an appointment with the surgeon the next day and am looking forward to getting my life back.

My wife is my biggest supporter and I hope to match her success. She made her goal weight at weight watchers a few months ago and tho it will take me a little while, I will join her.

I’m on June 25th too! Im scared too thats why i joined this forum because my family and friends are supportive but theres nothing lile talking to people who truly understand what you’re going through

Yeah it's not quite the same even though it's great to have support in family in friends. My hubby was looking at me like i lost my mind when the 2 and 3 oz food containers for meal prep showed up and i explained to him, that's all that'll fit in there lol

Hello all ! Just wanted to check in after my surgery that took place around 10am yesterday, so a little more than 12 hours ago. I am home now and feel a little like myself. I was really nauseaous, dizzy and tired for the first hours. I got up after maybe 6 hours. I have some pain but it's not too bad.

Sending positive thoughts to all the next ones to go [emoji178][emoji177][emoji178]

I am 2 days post op and I can’t believe how good I feel! I’m very medicated & sleepy but I’m up walking around, sitting up in bed or my recliner. Yes, I’m still sore but I walk, walk, walk. I think this helps tremendously. All in all, for 2 days out, I am happily surprised at how well I feel. My husband was so emotional when I went in and when I came out, he started crying. I found this weird because I’ve never seen him cry, in all these years. I guess it just means I’m super loved & supported! Love you all and I wish you the best of luck.

I’m on Day #2 post op. Came home yesterday. Sipping water and protein drink. No nausea. Walking a little on my block 2 times today. Taking 5 ml liquid OxyContin for pain. My surgical abdominal pain makes it hard to get up and down. I can’t get out of bed by myself at all. My abdominal muscles just aren’t working at all. Surgical gas in my chest improving. All in all, I’m doing as well as I expected so far.
