I just got my surgery date and I want to make some August surgery friends so we can share our ups and downs in the weight loss journey.

Now, I'm nervouse about the pain I may be in...yikes!!

Oh no the pain is mostly away 1 week later. Incision area muscle pain yes...because I am coughing. It is major surgery. But you can get through it.

Just an update 1 week out. I gulp my liquids and am dehydrated which is my fault. I am at my 1st post op check in. And I lost 0. After 70% of my stomach was removed I lost nothing. I am eating less but also way under protien and way under liquids. I am having soups because I cant take much more cold things. I don't know anymore. What if I went through it all for nothing. What if I can't change my habits.

Im 30th August ! Starting pre op diet Wednesday

3 Slimfasts a day and low calorie meal. What about you? Its becoming real now.. feeling nervous

Protein for breakfast and lunch and 4oz lean meat for dinner

I just got word that I need to be at the hospital at 615am in the morning for my surgery. Woohooo I feel like its gonna happen. Now to get through today. Excited

You'll do great. I was first case today. So far so good. Minimal discomfort, lots of gas pains. Can't wait to drink tomorrow. I'll be praying that the Lord keeps you safe during your procedure. Xo

Surgery is in 2 days! August 15th! Anyone else having surgery the 15th?

How is everyone that had surgery today (August 13th) doing?

@vsg_vibes you will do great. Mine was yesterday. RnY. Pain is not bad. But gas pains are uncomfortable. I just want to fart! Best of luck tomorrow.

Congratulations! Exciting day. I'm recovering in the hospital room now. One thing I can say, I was *not* prepared for the pain id be in. The gas pain, the incisions, everything. It feels like I fell off a cliff, or got run over by a Mack truck. Just brutal.

I have to agree with you on the pain. But overall not too bad today. I just took a shower and put on my own comfy clothes. I feel better already. They disconnected my IV pole so I don’t feel tethered to my bed, and now I can get some walking in and pass some of this horrific gas.

I hope you feel better as the day goes on.

I see my August 30 people are starting their liquid diet really soon. I’m not supposed to start until August 23 ??‍♀️. Please let me know how it goes. Just wondering if anyone in this group is diabetic?

@ Shane, I sure hope you,get better soon!? I remember how much you have been looking forward to,our surgery. We have got to get,out "happy-healthy" back!?

Today began the 2 week liquid diet diet. Thanks to Quest nutrition each shake is 100 calories and 21 grams protein and 3 carbs And I can have Greek yougurt which is the bomb 21 protein per cup mix in some PBFIT and cocoa powder and 1 stevia packet and it’s like a fudgie pudding um
