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.

Don’t eat! it can cause severe complications, such as bleeding & infections!

Had mine on the 12th the only discomfort I’m having is gas had to purp and pass gas.

Good Luck to all the May surgery dates. ?

Hey guys, had surgery on 05/11.. so far I’m doing okay just wanted to check to see if anyone is struggling getting the protein in? Also I’m getting a lot of burping/gas even with the smallest of sips of liquid. Just wanted to see if anybody else was having the same issues!

Yes, I burp a lot when I drink the protein shakes. On day11 after surgery I started taking one ounce of greek yogurt a few times a day; seems to really help with that.

New to this site! And I just has surgery on May 13th.

I had surgery the same day! I’d love to know how you’re feeling/doing!

My Date is May 24, 2021; I was going to have DS but was switched to SADI-S last week! I am ready to do this!!!

What is SADI-S?

My surgery is scheduled for 31st May and I'm getting so anxious about it. I have been wishing the months away to get to this point but now it's close I'm in a bit of a panic. I have yo-yo 'd up and down my whole adult life (40 YEARS) and while I have managed to lose considerable amounts of weight over the years, it just won't budge anymore, not even on VLCD's so I'm very scared that even the sleeve won't work. My husband is also having VSG surgery on 28th June so I'll hopefully be able to guide him through the liquid stages.

Also, my surgeon said I didn't need to do the pre-op diet (apart from 48 hours before surgery but I'm thinking I will do it anyway as I feel it will help transition me into liquids so that when surgery time comes it won't be so much of a shock to me! Good luck to all of you who are having your surgery this week!
