I'm the 20th. The preop diet is rough but I am a bit luckier than you and am allowed real food but mostly 0 carb. It has been rough but I keep telling myself its just 2 weeks and I can do this! I know it will be a bit easier on the other side of surgery and that is what I'm holding on to. You can do it!

You look great in your pic, congrats on making the first step in changing your life forever!

Surgery for me tomorrow, nerves are starting to kick in! I luckily have a great support at home with my wife and daughter, 11 and son, 7. I cannot wait to have the energy for them. My goal is a strange one and sounds silly, but it’s to get to a point where I feel comfortable going swimming, something being big has stopped me doing for a long time.

Thank you. ? Congratulations ? Yes I know exactly how you feel that's exactly how I feel too. Just to be able to feel comfortable on the outside

Omg thats terrible how are you feeling over all? Are you Ok? That is definitely so scarey? I would definitely be talking to a lawyer for sure. Praying for a speedy recovery and healing ? ❤️

My surgery is June 19. Started the liquid diet today. I’m excited and ready for this change.

I got mine done on the 10th! Good luck!

Mine is scheduled for June 26th I am having RNY

Just had my sleeve done yesterday and it’s been a rough 24 hours, kinda as expected. Everything went well, currently sitting up sipping water after some tramadol and morphine during the night. Dehydrated to say the least. Excited to see my family today in hospital. Good luck to all for your upcoming surgeries.

We did it! how are you feeling?

My surgery is scheduled for the 27th. I am on day 3 of my liquid diet and boy am I struggling. It's very hard to break old habits of just snacking but even now on the liquid diet I want a healthy snack but unable to have it. I think it's the chewing sensation I miss. I am able to have one health meal a day and usually have protein shakes for the other meals. (breakfast and lunch) I try to save my healthy meal for dinner so I can eat with my family but with being on summer vacation it has been hard to not want to just snack all day. I have been going back and forth if this is something I should followed through with as I will not be able to enjoy the things I used to after surgery. Maybe I'm over thinking and it's just nerves for the post op life.

Hi! I just got sleeved on June 7th and am a little over a week post-op! I was very nervous because I had never been under general anesthesia so I had an irrational fear that it wouldn’t work on me, lol. The surgery went very well and the recovery is not as bad as I thought! The worst part were the gas pains that lasted about 3 days, but I feel significantly better now.

My one tip: get a heating pad!!!

Good luck to everyone! If anyone got sleeved on the same day as me/around the same time lmk, I would love some bari-buddy twins :)

I got it on the 5th and an anesthesia newbie like you. Recovery has been smooth so far except for a belly button discharge and odor which the surgeon says happened bc the nurse cleaned it too vigorously maybe. Fingers crossed for that to resolve with clotrimazole.

liquid phase for 3 weeks .how are you doing with your fluid goals

Happy 10 day post-op! Im sorry to hear about your belly button discharge- do you have an incision close to it that caused it?

I am also about 3 weeks liquid phase including pre-op. Im so sick of it. My fluid intake for water/sugar free gatorade is okay. I’m no where near 1.5 L a day but its slowly getting better and im definitely drinking more now than I was the first two days.

Did you develop an intolerance to lactose after your surgery?
