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!

Did you have a hiatal hernia repair as well.

No, thankfully, I did not.

The first night was a nightmare. I questioned what I had done. Lol

I'm getting the bypass but i'm twiddling my thumbs and drinking my shake waiting for my 5/15 date with the table.

Lol! Well, I wish you the best of luck!!

May 1 here. Surgery went well didn’t stay in the hospital long don’t pack much. You will shower at home and wear their hospital stuff. Maybe pack phone charger and phone

I’m home now and walking. Had first bowel movement yesterday what a relief I’m not constipated. I found boost max 30 G protein in strawberry. Omg heaven

everything is room temp. The protein shakes and water. Can’t sip too fast. My new tummy don’t like that. But I look at my garden and pick and play. Bending is hard and hurts but that’s the only pain make sure before surgery you tell your pharmacist to have your current meds liquid. It will save a lot of yucky taste

be well your going to be great!!

@Kderby i have the same date here in Texas

We should be support buddies since we're doing it at the same time!

@Kderby Of course ?

I got my surgery date today for May 20!! I am beyond excited & nervous now.

My surgery date is May 9th. My anxiety is through the roof. ??

I know how you feel because I was like that last week. I had my surgery Friday. I can tell you there is no reason to stress but you are human and it is a big thing. If it makes you feel better, I worried too ALOT but everything went fine and all is well here. You go in and they give you a sedative. Then you wake up in the recovery room. The recovery room is hard but you don’t really remember it much. Then you won’t be able to get up on your own the first day. Don’t be afraid to call the nurse often. You will need the bathroom often and should walk around the room each time. The next day you can likely walk in the hall. I am going back to work tomorrow. Hopefully it will go well if I take it easy. Good luck to you.

A sedative, aye? I hope it’s enough for my big ass. You’ve only taken 4 days off from work?

My surgery date for the sleeve is May 22. I start my pre-op diet May 15. I am so excited. I’ve been working towards this date since January. My goal weight loss is 110 lbs.

Monday May 13th at 1:00 pm is my confirmed surgery date.

It seems so close, but so far away.
