I know its a few months away but I thought I would start a thread for Nov 2020! My date is 11/9! Looking forward to starting my new journey, hoping Covid doesn't screw stuff up!

I had 2 weeks protein drinks and clear sugar free fluids.

Hi all, I’m scheduled for 11/16 and start liquids Fri evening. I’m going to follow everyone that’s scheduled in Nov as we’ll all be in the same boat. ?

Hi all! Had my surgery yesterday and other than being tired, I feel great and am so very excited for my new healthier chapter.
I’ve been walking with no issues and after an X-ray I should be able to have Water and a Protein Shake. Yum! ?

Thanks for that update. I'm 6 days away. Hope mine goes as smoothly as yours.

I was put on just a 3 day liquid diet. Today is my first day and it’s miserable.

My doctors office only required me to go on a liquid diet the day before

So glad to hear from the 2nd folks. Hope you all continue recovering well.

For everyone’s pre-op liquid diet - I think some surgeons have different requirements. Mine say “anything that can be sipped through a straw and no lumps or clumps at all”. So they are fine with puréed soup for instance. I am loving the soup option and have some on the go smooth soups. Do yo think that’s okay? I am certain my surgeon is fine with it but curious what others are saying.

Hi all,

Ive been home for about 24 hours since my surgery. Other than being cold, a little sore and slow - I feel great and am so glad I did it. I had a “low for me” BP reading for the first time in ages. Since that and my type 2 diabetes were the main reasons I wanted the surgery, I’d say it was a success.
Friends have been pitching in and providing dinner for my kiddos and work sent flowers and chocolates - not sure what that is avoiding since they know I had bariatric surgery - ??‍♀️ But the kids are happy

Hey, all... Had surgery on the 2nd. Still in the hospital and will be here again tonight. Had really, REALLY bad gas pains, and I have an extremely high pain tolerance (I gave birth twice at home with nearly 10lb babies). It was so bad last night they actually gave me a CT scan (it was clear). So...a couple hurdles. Ah well. Also drinking makes me hiccup, no matter how slow I sip. Ugh...

Oops I tried to reply and it sent blank. What I meant to say was congratulations!! My surgery is in a week and this helps me stay positive. Hope all stays going well!!

I'm glad you guys are doing well... I'm having a really rough go of it. The nausea is kicking my ass all over the place. On day 1 (the day after surgery) I am supposed to have 30 ml (1oz) every hour. I'm lucky if I get 10ml and even then I end up dry heaving all over the place. The lady I'm sharing the room with said I've gotten her gagging a few times. [emoji17]I'm a terrible neighbour. The nurse says it's ok... It's not abnormal so it should wear off. Fingers crossed for that sooner rather than later.

I feel ya... My surgeon wants me to stay until tomorrow. I'm glad I'm in a room by myself...

Maybe from the anesthesia?

Hello fellow November’s. I would like to have some accountability partners who are in approximately the same phase of the WLS journey as me. So far this post has kinda served that purpose but going forward we will all probably be posting in the thread of interest on this forum versus this post. I started a Face book group, Bari Buddies, if anyone would be interested in comparing notes, Q&A, moral support, and accountability during our journeys. This is the link if you would be interested. https://www.facebook.com/groups/411774243154346/?ref=share

Started pre-op diet yesterday. Getting excited
