Is anyone else having surgery in July?

Had my sleeve surgery on Thursday. The pain is not as bad as I thought just a lot of gas pains. Hard to drink the 4oz every hour? Anyone else experience this?

I can only get down 1 ounce an hour

10 more days! This is my diet for the next 9! Eeeek!

Just had surgery 3 days ago . I went from the lapband to a sleeve.

Had mine done the 2nd!!

How is everyone feeling right now? I get paranoid about aches, and someone told me a stomach binder might be helpful for back pain? Anyone of an opinion?

Yes it’s rough at first but it gets easier

I had bypass on the 17th. The days in the hospital sucked. Working to get liquids in the first four days was tough and I thought I would need something for pain management forever. But now I’ve gone a day without the Lortab and feel like I’m on the mend. My abs hurt much less.

My weight has been crazy. My starting weight was 344. My surgery day weight was 299. I left the hospital weighing 312, and now I’m back down to 295.

Congratulations on surgery. Mine was the 19th. It’s been hard keeping down the liquid. My weight before the surgery was 252. Day of 245 let the hospital weighing 249 now 243. Can you keep the liquid down now?

I’m on day 7 of my pre-op full liquid diet, and the weight I’m losing is slowing down...I’m curious how much others lost in their pre-op diet? I’m following instructions to a T and I don’t want my surgeon to see how little I’ve lost and think I was cheating!

@mercmerc and @Nnoi. I hope things are going good. I plan to start my prediet August 1st so I will be fine-tuned to join you both in Post-Surgery Land. Still excited for it to happen, come visit me over on the September forum, I miss you both. Prediet? looks doable on paper!???❤

Hi Everyone,

I had my sleeve done on the 19th. Only a few small issues because of some underlying problems but nothing major. A little sore on the right side but I am looking forward to getting back to my new self?

Congratulations to you too! liquids are much easier now, but really the only liquid I’ve been drinking a lot of is Water. I’m able to get down a half a Premier Protein shake or half a Protein water at a time (over like 20 minutes). Everything else I’m allowed to drink just tastes a bit blah to me... I’ve occasionally been having two ounces of bone broth cause it’s approved for me... it’s got some Protein and is warm and salty so it’s a nice reprieve.
