Hello everyone!

I was approved a few days ago (after only waiting a week) and received my surgery date for December 12, 2018! I chose this date out of the few offered to me because I am currently in college and I will be able to finish up my classes prior to the surgery (which was a huge worry of mine.) It's about two weeks before my birthday too!

Anyone else scheduled out in December?

Did you have any heartburn before surgery? Maybe I will try the chewable gas x too. The burning is really bothersome

I started getting Heart burn maybe 3 Weeks our called the Dr and he Prescribed an ant -acid .They say I’ll take for a Year then they’ll cut it back .

Tomorrow is the big day for me! I am having a Hiatal Hernia repair along with Gastric sleeve! Spent Christmas prepping & cleansing for surgery. I am excited but nervous at the same time.

Wow, good for you.. first phase easy, it gonna be fine and progress smoothly.. all the best.

Yup hurt to swallow until day 5 post op . Then I woke up and all good . Just gotta wait for the inflammation to recede from the surgery and repair

First day back to work in 3 weeks. The struggle is real today.

Hey guys I was sleeved on Friday i had a really tough time getting my fluids and Proteins yesterday but am getting in a little better today. I am setting an alarm to be sure I am drinking an ounce every fifteen minutes or so. Dealing with a Headache today is that due to lower fluids? Any thoughts would be appreciated

Surgery date 12/17. Day 3 - serious headache!! Hurt worse than my belly. On that day I was able to get more fluids down and more protein, helped tremendously. Headache much better the next day too and then gone. It kinda felt like a caffeine withdrawal headache.

It did feel like a caffeine headache for me too. It went away as I was able to get more liquids in. I am so thankful for the responses we are all going through this together a new year a new life ?

I'm on here everyday! Helps to know you're not alone on this journey.

I got the go ahead for soft foods today! Hooray! So, I had some scrambled egg. I'm guessing that we shouldn't be time pressured when we are eating so we can take the time to pay attention. I was time pressured so it was a bit uncomfortable but it passed. Looking forward to getting to know this new stomach of mine and what it can and can't tolerate.

Hey Seaforest and others, I start this diet tomorrow, and I’m wondering did you just start with one egg scrambled? Or two?
