@BigBlueStarted mine today as well, only one week though. I had two shakes already, they were OK. I can handle one week of this.

I am just starting to get all my testing done for surgery.Trying to think of food as medicine is difficult for me. My whole life has revolved around food.

Sept 7th was my gastric sleeve date. Still getting use to some things. Hope everyone is doing well.

Let's try this again. I was booked for my RNY for Aug 28 and after waiting in the hospital in my gown & booties for 5 hours, it was cancelled due to an emergency trauma case. Tomorrow is my new day, arrival at 6:00am, surgery at 8:00am.

Let's gooo!

How are you doing since your surgery?

Yesterday was the first day of my liquid diet and boy oh boy... I knew it was going to be intense, but I hadn't realized how fierce the hunger pains would be. Good luck to those who have had their surgeries, I can't wait to join you guys on the losers bench! And to those on the liquid diet with me currently, we've got this!

I had some last minute feelings too but then I was resolved to do it. Recovery hasn’t been too bad as long as I remember to take it easy. One step at a time, right?!

I had the sleeve on the 5th and I too began to second guess my decision up until the night before surgery. I did have an extended hospital stay due to nausea and my heart rate being too low for a couple of days post op. Other than that recovery is going well. You just have to remember to take it easy and listen to your body. I had my first follow up visit yesterday and my surgeon said I am healing well. The hardest part has been making sure to drink as much as possible. Good luck with upcoming surgery 🙂

I have my RNY on September 27th. I started my liquid diet and it is really hard. I have gerd and reflux so I’m so much gas pain.
