I’m so excited to start my chapter

COUNT DOWN 64 DAYS

I’m having sleeve on Wednesday, June 7 @ 2:15 pm. Keep me in your prayers. Tomorrow I start liquid diet. I’ve been on pre-op diet for two weeks. I found that I love the Fairlife shakes more than the premier shakes. Anyone have good broth recommendations?

Yayy!! You are almost there? I will keep you in my prayers most definitely. Fairlife are my favorite too. Does anyone know where to get the strawberry flavor? And broth I use kettle & fire bone broth. I also like the chicken boullions by herbox green container. They have low sodium options too!

Hi guys. I had my bypass yesterday. The pain is tolerable and it is especially nice to have this abdominal binder on. Hope it’s not TMI but I have been having trouble urinating. They actually had to straight cath me last night because I was retaining too much urine. I am still retaining but urinating enough that they were okay with sending me home. So now I’m home and trying to stay hydrated.
They told me sometimes this happens and the bladder is the last thing to wake up. Hope it really wakes up soon.

Oh wowwww, praying that it wake up. Glad ur feeling good after your surgery. I also have a binder. I thought we had to wait to use it

I do not have the support of my family so you all mean a lot. I have to say, i am very comfortable here healing in peace. I do have my two little kitties mind you ?

Happy to hear you are home and well. Try to walk as often as you can, I was told that is most important after surgery. I love kitties, they are the best! They say that people that have kitties or puppies live longer. Enjoy your time home. For me Monday cannot come quick enough! ?

That's how I feel about my support as well. I'm left alone all the time, never asked if I want to hang, but its all good. I found my bariatric pal fam, thanks for the support yall. I don't mean to spread my business either .

Same Carla, don't have the best support around here either. That's why I'm so glad to find this app & everyone is so nice!

Hey Catlady - welcome to the other side honey! im so glad you are doing well and are now at home haling. The urinating thing is normal - i had that but can now urinate just fine. Carla honey - we are all here for you and each other. Maris - its soon your turn and you are going to smash it girl xxx

Thank you all so much for all the support I truly appreciate it

I’m home now! So far everything is perfectly average. Last night the nurse came in to give me a pill and I ended up chugging some water for the pill. Oops. That will be the last time I make that mistake? I didnt throw up but sure felt like I should. The pain is mostly tolerable. I found reaching for something high was uncomfortable and sitting down I’m having to take a new approach.
I hope y’all are doing your best no matter what stage you are in!

I haven’t found a great broth yet, but I like bullion cubes, seems to have a bit more flavor. I did t know fair life made a strawberry one, maybe check Amazon.

My sleeve surgery is Monday June 5th. I have to be at the hospital by 8:45a. My hunger and food distractions have seemed to subside from anticipation, excitement and fear. Now I’m just a nervous wreck lol. With less than 48 hrs to go I’ve gone through many emotions. I’ve read every post on this thread. Congratulations to all much success, peace, health and love!
I will update on how things went after I’m up. Last weight was on Wednesday 246- can’t wait to get to onderland!

I'm also heading into sleeve surgery tomorrow, and fully empathise... am also just a bunch of nerves and jitters now. Very thankful to have the support here in this thread to ground me. Onwards to surgery!

Hi guys - I'm 3 days post op and doing ok. I don't have any pain so not a need or pain relief and am now managing to sip more water (I am determined to stay hydrated - it's so very important!). I'm moving around but ensuring that I pace myself. David and Jaz - my thoughts and prayers are with you tomorrow - you will b fine guys. I hope you have found the posts of us who have ad the surgery over the last few days of some comfort to you. Can't wait for you to join us on the other side ??

Congratulations and good luck, can't wait to hear how things went and how long were you out, my sleeve is on the 13th I have to be there at 7 am but imma make sure I'm there at 6 to make sure I don't miss lol, again good luck and speedy recovery to all.
