Anyone else having surgery in April? Maybe we can find surgery twins here. I thought I could start it off by asking a few questions.

When is your surgery? April 4th
What kind of surgery? Revision from sleeve to Mini Gastric Bypass
Height? 5’8”
Starting weight? 285
Goal weight? 175

So quick update, I had surgery Monday and I’m down 5 lbs in about 5 days. That doesn’t include the water weight I had to loose from the hospital. So I’m 5lbs lighter than when I walked into the hospital on Monday. So 5lbs in 6 days is pretty amazing in my book!

Surgery April 24th 2019

Your gas may move into weird places like your chest and shoulder. Mine did today. Later I burped and it went away. TMI but the worst part of it for me has been bowel movements: liquid spray, dark, the color of spinach, and the worst-smelling they have ever been in my entire life, haha! Egad do they stink. I woke with stinky breath this morning but they say that's a good sign, ketosis, you're losing weight. It's so exciting reading everyone's journeys! I can't wait until SuzieQ has hers! Thanks for yours!

oh yes on the liquid BM. Also when I fart, not sure if it is just a fart because I have SHARTED several times. Yes and the smell is enough to even nock my dog over. I have some gas too. mostly just getting tired of making sure I get enough liquid in before my belly hurts.

Man I hope I will be able to tolerate sea food because I prefer eating seafood than cow/pork/chicken etc. meats. Well for me after surgery.

Day 1 & 2 : clear liquids

Day 3 - 14 (2 weeks): Full Liquids

Day 15 - 22 ( week 3): Thin Purées

Day 23 ( week 4 ) : Thick Purées

Weeks 5 & 6: will transition to a regular diet, but I have to measure portions.

So far it doesn’t seem hard, but I won’t know after surgery.

Oh wow I’m also from the Bronx in NYC, I’m getting my surgery on Monday at Lenox Hill Hospital. Man I hope your surgery goes well.

Wishing you an easy surgery on Monday.

Lenoxs Hills is great I know 2 people who had their sleeves done there. I actually went there for an information secession, but ended up going to Mt. Sinai since my PCP is there.

Congrats and good luck!!

Alwzla8, your posts are firing me up! I can’t wait for the ball to get rolling on my life change!

My son has watched "My 600 pound life" and he knows what the procedure is and asked me today as I was watching it if I was nervous or scared with surgery on the 9th I think I am more ready to get this show on the road and ready to start over. I think that I am also excited to know that as this journey continues I can count down my anniversary celebration with my cruise at the 1 year mark:) Woo Hoo!

I have 145 as my goal weight but I want to be around 150ish.. I just want to be in shape and healthy and if that is at 155 then I will be happy there:) Good luck with your pre op diet!

First things first - Good luck to all of the 2nd week sleevers. You got this! I look forward to reading your stories!

Now the me part. Lol.
I went into surgery on April 4th weighing around 303 lbs. I came out at 307, but now that my body finished processing the IV fluids, I'm at 299.

I am constipated, so today, I'll start taking Miralax. I have no pain and the few discomforts I had are improving exponentially.

I'm so nervous about the surgery on April 11th I'm having bad dreams about it my mind playing tricks on me i know I'm doing the right thing for me cause i have hbp diabetes and sleep apnea my starting weight was 358 my weight now 336 liquid diet 12 days in so im losing weight just afraid of having surgery

I was nervous also. But i was sleeved on the 3rd. The first night, nauseau was horrid. After that its been smooth sailing. I started at 210 day of surgery today im 200 lbs. I feel pretty good and have stopped the narcotic pain meds. Im a diabetic and assumed it would be worse but u got this. One rough day for years of better health and happiness. Praying for u.
