May Surgeries - check in!

  • Popular Post

Looking for other May 2021 folks to share the journey with! I'm scheduled for May 5th and start my liquid diet in just a few days. Anyone else on/around the same time? What kind of pre-op diet do you have? I admit I'm super nervous about how I'm going to manage the next couple of weeks and keep up my energy at work.

Here's to a speedy recovery! :408_beers:

Best of luck!!

So excited for everyone ❤️❤️ y’all will do great ? I’m barely finding out my insurance will accept the surgery so I got a looong way to go!!

Still hoping to be a May surgery…but losing hope. I can’t believe Ontario has blocked surgeries this long. (3 weeks now)

Today is day 3 and it's a little... eh. I'm not miserable, but I'm also not trying to think too far ahead. The flavors are going to get really old, I worry. But maybe not! Trying to remain positive, lol. ?

I’m on day 3 also! Wow, so many of us around the same time! It’s exciting and yet fearful of the unknown too! Good luck everyone!! ?

Hi All! I just found this forum. I had my surgery 2 days ago, and hope we can support each other. I spent one night in the hospital. Starting weight 286, surgery weight 260, today 259. I'm sore and bloated. Sipping away, trying to get fluids, proteins & pills in. How is everyone else doing? Any surgery twins?
