So, I just but the bullet, (like 8 minutes ago!) and sent the deposit for my surgery. I’ll be heading off on the 16th for surgery on the 18th I’ve got a couple of trips away between now and then that my husband has been looking forward to for months and I didn’t want him to miss out otherwise I’d have booked for an earlier date, but hopefully those trips will make the time speed up a bit. Bring it on

I used to teach so I had protein drinks in the frig to drink during the day, as it took so long to drink them, and Campbells Soup in the Hand for lunches. Single serving small soups.

❤CAMPBELL'S Yes soup in Butternut Squash, stays down when many others don't, I recommend it!

My scheduled date is June 17th. I’m excited, nervous & scared all at once. My primary doctor is SO happy! He’s been urging me to have it done for a couple of years. I was too afraid. ?

My freezer is stocked with sugar free popsicles. They were on sale this week. I bought 4 boxes to add to the 8 I already had. ? I also have a stock of Bone broth. Lots of water. I’m ready!

My date is June 3rd, 2019 ~~ following your thread and excited to see everyone's progress

How's the pre-op diet going for everyone who is on it?

Hi all,
I am new to this and have my sleeve surgery scheduled for June 7th. I am on my two week pre surgery diet and struggling so thought I would come online for support and motivation.

Good luck on your journey. I'm waiting for my last appt then I will find out my surgery date, hopefully soon! The only thing I can suggest is to make your house a clean house, without temptations. I am currently taste testing protein drinks as I did them a lot. I will also taste different soups. Drink lots as it keeps you from getting hungry, warm drinks like tea help too. Just keep in mind how great you will look and feel. Make a list of all the things you want to do when you become healthier. I want to go to Washington DC and see some museums. Walking a lot is painful now for me. Just keep your eye on the prize!

My surgery is scheduled for June 20th. Could’ve done it May 9th, but I’m waiting on my son to finish the school year so we can spend some time together during my recovery. I only get 1 week vacation a year. Boo. Going to take 2 extra days anyways, and hope I feel ok to go back to work.

Word of advice

your body will never be the same

its very hard.

Hi

Work just approved my June 17th week off for vsg. I'm hoping I can work the following week, I don't quality for fmla yet. I'm rushing to get everything done but have been thinking about the surgery for 2 years now. I'm finally decided to do this in the winter. I have a pre op to do, plus maybe ekg. Plus read up on what to stock up on etc. Lots to learn, excited/nervous but ready.

Comgrats...

i had mind June 1. Went to work June 25.

I had bad nausea issues port op.

stock up.. well you should have a diet sheet with each stage and what you can eat. I wouldn’t go further then each stage, stages progress based on each person. I went slow, and actually backwards. Like I said Nausea. I had issues probably week 2 onto 3. My stomach couldn’t handle being empty of sorts.

I didn’t eat or drink for like 4 days, had to go to Er for fluids. Got better.

Food isnt gonna be the same as before. I suggest to go as each stage goes. Don’t rush it, an issue I have which is better is seeing too much food overwhelms me and upsets me. So buying food is different now,

just go with what your body is telling you.

Fluids are really important even more than food in the beginning.

my nausea is better. If I want to sleep late, I can’t, at least I get up and eat something bad go back to bed. I just had back surgery and was incredibly nauseas cause I didn’t eat. I got over it and forced myself to eat.

vitamins, etc. very important. If you don’t it could compromise your health.

As for work. You know you can’t lift anything heavy for 6 weeks. Hope your job isn’t lifting.

Good luck going back to work during early stages. I hope the job is flexible cause dinking your fluids isn’t a lunch break job. It’s an ALL day everyday event in the beginning.

If you have any other questions, just ask

remember every persons surgery is different
