Glad all is going well so far! Thank you for the update and rest well.

Just had my Gastric Sleeve last Thursday, September 8,2022….I think I regret it but I’m guessing that is my inner fat boy talking.

Hi friend!

First off I wish you a very speedy recovery.

second- what’s going on? Why do you feel that way? Is it pain?

mine is sept 20 (Tuesday.) I am very nervous but cautiously optimistic that this will be it.

Hi guys, I’m new here. Surgery date was 9/8

How are you feeling?! Congrats!

Hi everyone! Also new here! My surgery was last Wednesday, September 7th. Looking forward to talking with people going through it also.

Good luck to everyone having surgery this week. You've got this!!!

Today is/was the first day of pre-op liquid diet. Must complete 2 weeks of this before surgery. I've gotten in over 60 oz. of liquids. Mostly water and Gatorade Zero plus 60 grams of protein from the Premier Shakes today.

Am I suppose to be doing the 1-2 oz. sips with this pre-op diet?

Honestly Im not really hungry- just in pain at the wound sites

OMG, me too. 9/26

OMG, me too. 9/26

I thought so since you started your 2 week pre op today.... im in oregon, so probably not the same hospital lol, but definitely excited to find someone on the same day

Wow, lots of new folks joining us this week. Welcome all!

I'm finishing up my first week of my pre-surgery diet today. I'm on 3-4 protein drinks and 64 oz fluid per day. No meals.

Honestly, it hasn't been a big deal at all. I think what's helping me is lots of variety and just staying busy to keep my thoughts off things I'm not supposed to eat. Plus, I wasn't really eating all that much before this, so the transition wasn't too drastic.

My Protein sources:

• Premier Protein Caramel - I drink this as creamer in 2 very large cups of decaf coffee
• Fairlife Nutrition Plan Chocolate
• Homemade Bone Broth
• Bariatric Pal Hot Chocolate, Cream soup Variety Pack & Variety Pack Pudding Mix

My Fluid Sources:

• Coffee
• Herbal Iced Tea
• Store Bought low-sodium Broth
• Millie's Sippin' Broth (these are a nice change of pace)

Other:

• I'm allowed 1 cucumber or pickle a day (it's nice to have something to crunch)
• Sugar Free Jello (I don't really count this toward my fluid intake, though I could.

Ok guys I tried to be a bad ass and not take the pain meds… wrong answer! You can make it through the day without them but if you want rest take them at night! Surgery yesterday morning 9/12. And as he said the numbing agent wore off In the middle of the night and y’all that ain’t no joke! So here I sit in pain waiting on that to kick in. I am not normally and wimp I have a very high pain tolerance. But woo-wee that stings a little!
