One week down and 6 days to go! Prior to this, I thought it was going to be much more difficult. I have been counteracting my cravings for pizza, hot wings and Indian food, with researching ideas to make the meals I crave more "bariatric sleeve friendly". I am working out recipes and ingredients, waiting for the day I can eat whole food again. I have been able to still cook meal for my kids and I find myself making healthier choices in what I serve them. I told my wife "How can we both be eating healthier and still feed the kids chicken nuggets and fries". She agreed. This transformation will not only benefit me, but the whole family! The most difficultly I am experiencing now is trying not to fart. It's never dry and I had to wash out a pair of underwear and some shorts, while in the shower. This is the "SHARD" part.

Nice! I am on Day 5 today of my preop diet. I thought it was going to be a lot harder and its still hard but barrable. I try to keep myself busy and out of the house.

I'm on day 7 and I have been spending my time when I am not working, nene watching streaming programs...lol. I don't hang out with family and friends much because black folk love to eat food when they socialize.

LMAO I spend my time on a boat or jetski to keep me occupied. At home i tend to walk around and look in the fridge alot.

Nice! We don't have access to the beautiful landscape you do my friend. But if I did, I would be doing the same thing. Away from the world, just you a Neptune...lol. I am looking forward to taking a nice vacation this summer around August. Maybe near the beach somewhere. For now, I watch TV, light workout and create healthy recipes of the comfort foods I used to enjoy sooooooo much.

I'm on my day 5 of 20 (liquid diet). It's been hard, more so working from Home, but I'm keeping myself busy, and it's been bearable. I have 2 from 10 pre-op kinesiologist sessions left, then they Will send me exercises to do at Home pre-surgery. I have also been downloading post gastric sleeve recipe books, and the Baritastic app (recommended!). Have a lot of support from My family and no kids, so I've been just cooking for myself. (And I also have The liquid fart issue).
I'm from Chile, don't know how different The pre and post procedures are.
Greetings!

Hey. God speed and good luck my friend. Our procedure are different. We have a 14 day pre-op liquid diet with a strict clear liquid and specified Meal Replacement protien drinks. I did have one slip up on my 11 days and I ate a bag of Veggie Fries I got from 7-11. I found a way to handle my Shard (liquid farts). I just got to the bathroom whenever I feel gas building up. It's like a "dark matter" situation in the bathroom now. It makes you think, "How long has that been sitting in my intestines?".

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
