*** September 2018 Sleevers ***

[reb101568 9]

So I am now 11 days out from surgery.....l have had few issues since my sleeve. I do get tired but that’s because I am so little food. Mostly Clear Liquids but I won’t lie, I have a taste of some light eggs and singlets of Protein here and there. I do get hungry but only at dinner and lunch time. I’m being careful not to push anything that would put my sleeve at risk. Having said that I’m looking forward to full liquids, wed. And mushed food next week..... I am getting in three shakes per day and I have bought premier Proteins protein Water (coconut and pineapple). It’s very good and meets protein minimum requirement of 15 grams..... highly recommend it!

One week to go!! Count down. Hungry pains comes and goes but not when people are eating in front of me. About lost it when my husband made himself a BLT. LOL Plus able to do 64 oz of Water, which is a shocker. Putting in small glasses worked for me. Lost ten pounds on the liquid diet so far and keeping my head in the game.

Keep it up! And, as for the BLT, I bet it was the Tomato smell. They get me every time.

Ah, my surgery is tomorrow at West LA Kaiser. I'm bummed I wasn't put on a liquid diet but doing so today and been extra careful.

Kinda freaking out that I didn't prepare all I need for the first stages and am missing things.

Anyone interested in a Discord group or just general chat instead of a FB group?

I had my surgery on the 12th. Spent one night at the hospital and was able to go home. For the most part I'm ok. Having trouble with getting enough liquids mainly cause I hate the sipping, lol. Overall I feel good. Walking as much as I can. Down 12 lbs since surgery!

@awils we are surgery twins I also had my sleeve on the 12th are you on full liquid diet I haven’t had any appetite at all but I have had two Protein Shakes starting Saturday and I have had a good time with getting in 64oz of Water a day

One week until surgery and I’m getting nervous.

Doing shakes for the next four days, then clear liquids until surgery. Not hungry, but definitely want to eat when I’m bored or reading.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Surgery twin! I’m the 25th too! Only a 2 day clear liquid requirement for me. Trying to ease into it ahead of time so it’s not such a shock.

9/27 is my surgery date. I'm worried but not scared. I am more concerned about eating in the full liquid phase. Clear liquid i think will be fine, but the next step with Soups and such is what worries me.

Anyone have any feed back on the items they offer for sale on this site??

I reached out to my surgeon. I will only be on liquid diet pre-op for 24 hrs. My surgery in 9/24 I have been looking forward to getting this surgery for a long time, now that it's soo close I am so emotional, I go from being excited, to getting nervous, scared. I cried myself to sleep the other night. Has anyone become so emotional close to their surgery day?

Completely normal! You’re contemplating a major life change, you’re entitled to be emotional, and you will be.

You and me are surgery buddies!

That's good to hear and it's going be a big change. Tomorrow I have my pre-op appointment, hopefully I get my time of surgery. Do you know what time your surgery will be?
