Hi!

If you're having surgery in October of 2024, join here!

It's nice to have support and we can all follow and support each other together!

My Surgery Date (Sleeve) is 7th of October. Starting weight is 122.5kg (270lbs) As far as I know, that's the highest I've ever been.

Weight loss since starting pre-op diet: 10.4 kg (22.9 lbs)

Weight loss on Surgery Date: TBD

Let's do this!

I have on hand Ondansetron subliminal that helps so much for nausea? I’m not dealing with that now but so much pain but it’s only 3 days out. I’m trying cream of shrimp soup/milk to thin…blended…little protein powder and bay seasoning and protein drinks mostly.

Hello I am new here. I just had the roux en y gastric bypass and hiatal hernia repair last Thursday morning. I was 260 going in and I'm down to 250 . I'm on the Clear Liquids phase 1 and my dietitian said I can advance to phase 2 on Friday. Is it just me or is this liquid diet thing extremely frustrating at times and I get moody too because I do like to drink sometimes on the weekend. I am trying to take things slow but it's such a lifestyle change for me.

Congrats on the weight loss so far. I'm 4 days post op from roux en y and haven't lost a pound. I'm sticking to the full liquid diet because I want my stomach to heal correctly. Doc put me on full Liquids the day after my surgery. I have little to zero pain. But I feel bloated. My doc told me advance to the next step of pureed food in 3 weeks. I just want to eat a good salad! But I'm waiting.

Omg I can’t believe it’s almost time! I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am CST. I hope I can at least get in a nap. 3:30 comes early!

How are you feeling? Any updates on your progress since surgery?

My surgery date is 10/28 also! Good luck!!

How are you feeling? I had surgery on the 28th also. I still have gas pain that I can't get rid of. Also I feel pain after swallowing my protein or water. I hope you're feeling better

I had gastric sleeve surgery on 10/23 and I’m currently 1week post op and I have been having horrible pain from my biggest incision on my right side all the way around my back that I can barely walk it hurts so bad. Good luck I’m seriously regretting this surgery right now due to the pain.

I had mine this past Monday October 28

I'm suffering from gas pain. My stomach hurts when I swallow my meds, protein and water. I hope it gets better soon.

Wishing you a speedy recovery ?

I set a timer for every 15 minutes and drink an ounce of water. This is what they had me do in the hospital and it works great.

I'm now 4 weeks post op. I'm not really in any pain except my hip which is unrelated. I'm about to start the soft foods phase,. I'm nervous about when I will start solid foods because solid foods are what helped me get big in the first place. I have my ne month review with my surgical team in the 7th of November.

I'm also really sick of wearing compression socks, but two more weeks to go.
