I had my sleeve in August 2018. I am so ready for the GERD to get better! It feels real now that I'm a couple of days into the liquid pre-surgery diet. Odd that my GERD hasn't been too bad on this part as it was really bad pretty much right away after the initial surgery. Happy to be a surgery buddy!

I start my pre-op diet next week but it’s not full liquid.. two protein shakes and a meal 7 days prior. I believe that’s how it was for my sleeve. I totally hear you on the GERD! Can’t wait for that to pass! I don’t know why I’m so nervous about the surgery this time around!

Hi everyone, I’m so sad. I drank vitamin water and then, I realized it had 22 g of sugar and carbs and my surgery is on Monday? I have not cheated this whole time and this is the stupid thing I do. I thought it was regular flavor water. Does anyone know if I ruined my liver?

If you have been good up to this point I don't think that 22g of carbs will do any lasting damage. Just keep on with your plan and you should be fine.

You’ll be okay-especially if you have been careful up until then! I just had mine done on 9/8 and I had a piece of homemade lemon cake as kind of my last hurrah! -And I was fine! Good luck!

Thank you both for your responses, oh my God, I thought i ruined it all. @JenniP, wow congratulations how are you feeling?

Thank you! Not going to lie, I definitely have some soreness with getting up/down but it seems to be getting better each day! Today I chose to only take Tylenol Once throughout the day for the pain and now tonight something extra for bed just because I toss and turn typically like a fish! ?

Hi! I’m scheduled for September 15th! I’m on Day 6 of my liquid preop diet. I’m so anxious for my surgery day to arrive!

Hi Candace614, I know exactly what you mean. I go in a day before you, I have butterflies in my stomach, at the same time I am excited. Good luck to us!

How’s everyone who’s already had your surgery doing? I had my surgery Wednesday & came home Friday afternoon. As Saturday has progressed I’ve found myself feeling really hungry. I think it’s because I’m not allowed to start my protein shakes/powders until Monday. Protein really helps me feel full so I’m looking forward to that. My main incision still hurts a lot but other than that I physically feel really good. I hope everyone else is doing well!

9 days post opp, my 1st appointment with my surgeon is tomorrow morning hopefully they will move me right on into puree stage. All my insisions are doing great and no longer hurt. It's really hard to get this water in sipping and sippin, I really want to just take a big ole gulp.

That is great that you are doing well. I have been wondering how I would be drinking water when thirsty. It sounds difficult. Lol, How much weight have you lost so far?

Its my day, good luck to everyone that has surgery today too. So nervous..

For everyone that has surgery today like I do, best of luck! Keep us posted.
