Hi,

Gastric sleeve scheduled for December 10, 2019. Learning everything I can beforehand to be ready for my life change. Nervous and excited at same time.

I hear you. I thought, I had researched and investigated but I have learned so much in the last year, it’s unbelievable. Surgery Dec 5th I have more Water to pickup this week since my tap is definitely never on my go to list. But otherwise, I might need to order some Protein but doubt it. I am prepped what should be near 6 week. Post I have 1-2 clear and 2 full followed by purée for 1-2. Because of other issues it will be more of a food trial but I will be wiser at the end.

A lot better than I thought! Never a problem but come to a point over a week never hungry. Starting to dislike Protein Drinks, guess a couple weeks. But I have been avoiding cream of wheat oatmeal pudding and flavored tuna. Well today, gave in first time I had been hungry.Only had a bout 3 ounces. Adding collagen and Protein to all my drinks and egg whites. Now pudding tuna egg whites cream o wheat and oatmeal are no no’s post op.
After Thursday, I have 4 more weeks liquid Whoopi 2 clear 2 full I am going to forget how to chew.

I am December 2 at Kaiser Northern California. I thought I would have to go on a liquid diet but Kaiser doesn’t require that - they let you eat up to 8 hours prior to surgery! They said it is easier for the body to heal after surgery. Definitely thankful.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
