Got my surgery date for August 15th! 10 day all liquid diet starts on the 5th and I am nervous about it, but mostly excited because it means surgery is right around the corner. Any other August people in here? How are you? What are you doing to prepare for the big day? Look forward to hearing everyone's story

Hi Buddies. It’s 4am in Los Angeles. I had my gastric sleeve yesterday at noon. I was nervous but kept my feelings under control by not allowing myself to think about any details, just staying in the moment. I had a sweet nurse who talked to me as they prepped me. I was able to go home the same day. I’ve been laying down since I’ve gotten home though, it doesn’t hurt to walk but I feel nauseous when I do. I’m wide awake listening to my 81 yr old mom snore like Darth Vader lol!!! She wanted to stay with me the first night while my husband helps with my little girls. I wish you all good luck August Buddies.

My surgery is scheduled for August 16th .I started the pre op diet August 1st. How is everyone who has already had the surgery this month. I am a little worried about the recovery.

I had RNY on 8/7 so just finishing day 2 PO. I will not lie, the first day (day of surgery) was rough, I could not have made it through with out having my parents with me. I’m learning quickly that a support system makes all the difference - physically and mentally. Pain isn’t so bad today, I still feel nauseous/bloated/have gas pains and that’s the worst of it. Everyday gets truly gets better! I was a wreck the morning of surgery but I pushed through and am proud of myself for making a hard choice. I’m anticipating regret hitting me soon again (was majorly regretting on surgery day) but I think the key post op is to just focus on taking really good care of yourself, reaching out for help, walking and sipping. Best of luck!!!!

Hi, I am 8/17 and 3 days into the liquid diet. First day was a little rough, but I’m doing well now. No real side effects, other than I am super hydrated and pee a lot..lol. I went and got pho broth and have been surviving on that and protein shakes. Hope it gets a little better for you!

Thanks throughout the day I have moments of motivation then sadly guilt and regrets sets in. It's been 6 months of a rollercoaster ride and I'm so close but now it's like is this the right choice for me?
