Hi all I am scheduled for May 3rd in Mexico. Anyone else gearing up for surgery?

Me too!!

Hi everyone, my date is May 21st. My 2-week pre-op liquid diet starts on May 7th! I’m excited though nervous about the liquid diet. Anyone have any tips?

Me too!!

May 23 for me

I’m scheduled for May 23rd. Let us know how it goes!

Surgery went very well and the staff has made recovery as well as possible. I've been sleeping a lot but they were always good to remind me to get up and walk. Several times I didnt want to but I did it and then went right back to sleep. They also give us a spirometer to use to stimulate your lungs since they were also relaxed with the anesthesia. The hotel real is really nice-kinda felt like a bum coming in in my sweat pants and t-shirt but the staff has been very helpful. We are staying an extra two days since I didnt want to fly 7 hours home 3 days after surgery. Let me know if you have any questions!

Congrats KonaYvonne, I hope and pray mines goes as smoothly as yours on 5/13... Fingers crossed... Congrats and keep us posted.....

Good to know that you are recovery well. Praying that my will also 5/8

Thank you. I will say a prayer for you!

May 28 for me. Preop class and diet starts May 14. Not going to MX though. My insurance covers all but $300 program fee and $350 for everything else.

Good luck!!

Had gastric sleeve may 3rd. Allot of gas pain in back and shoulders 1st night. Only took pain meds 1st 24 hrs. Doing good and just alittle sore in the belly area. My question is to know when I have dranked enough protein shake or soup at a meal. Do not want to pop stiches inside. Please send feedback ..

mine was on may 1st and i am figuring it out as well. i'm not permitted to have shakes until one week after so i'm just on clear liquids. i sip water constantly but do notice that the broth sits heavier. I can drink about one cup of broth and then feel satisfied (physically, not mentally). I'm sure everyone is different but i can't imaging being able to drink more than 8 oz of broth of protein shake before feeling full. But, I'm no expert!
