Welcome to the Class of 2020 as @Greeteal calls it, lol. Our January family is growing and getting very close. Are you excited, nervous, or etc.? Do you know if you have to liquid diet, if so joe long?

Hi there...my surgery date is also on 1/31/2020! I’m having the sleeve and It’s with Dr. Bello at GBMC. Now, I’m starting to get more excited but I am definitely still nervous too. Although I’m doing quite a bit of preparation, I’ve joined support groups, and I have a solid core network of support with family and friends and with my Drs, nutrionist, RN, and everyone here so I’m feeling pretty positive about this new journey! I can’t wait!!

Thank you! I'm excited. I'm so ready to love myself, and feel better! I do have to do liquid diet, it's for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after. I go for my pre-OP work on 1/6. But if I remember correctly, after the post-OP liquid diet, I'll be on puree's for 3 weeks, then soft foods for 2 weeks and regular food for a week to see if I can tolerate it. But I'll find that out for sure on my preop appointment!

I was so excited to see we were surgery date twins when I saw your post! Seems we’re in the same boat as far as our excitement and nervousness. I think that’s normal. Looking forward to sharing our journey togethe! 💕

Yes, I read your profile. We are both Virgos, lol. I have been so excited as I continue with preparing for next month. I'm so excited to finally meet our immediate peer group. I will be posting and updating often, its been keeping me focused and I'm learning more about life as a wls person in the real world and actual everyday scenarios. This site is full of great questions and answers, I don't think the Dr. can answer all of these questions because each experience is different and so is the patient's experience to this major life changing event.

Welcome and how exciting. Are you required to do a preop diet? Nervous? Support system?

My pre-op is tomorrow, 12/24- Christmas Eve! Surgeon is Dr.Chu at Kaiser Fremont, CA. My surgery will be 1/7 & I’m so psyched! I have my Vitamins, muscle milk, broths & am ready! I’m afraid of the first 1-2 weeks because I hear they are a bit difficult. Fingers crossed!!!!

Its been awhile since I played basketball so I have been practicing lol but I would never had even volunteered to do this 70lbs ago!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
