Hi. I saw your post and finally decided to join.  You are my very first post here.  My sleeve surgery is scheduled for this Friday, 3/21 @ 9am.  Can't wait!!!!  Good luck.

I had RNY 5 days ago as well as a hiatal hernia repair. I am still feeling cramp, gassy and it is uncomfortable to take a deep breath. I also feel like I am starving!!! Is that normal? I feel very weak like a truck ran over me. I am feeling very alone and regretful of this surgery. I am hoping to find others who have had this surgery around the same time as me to talk to. I'd like to know how others are feeling at this point! I appreciate any response.

Just think of the preop diet as preparation for the postoperative diet. It's hard right now for me as well but I keep reminding myself that I would rather be going through this now versus when I am trying to heal. All the foods I want I will be able to have again eventually just in better proportions so there is no need to have these final binges of my fave foods because they will still be there when I am able to make better choices and my pouch can handle them. Good luck to you! An improved you is just around the corner.

I'm on March 18th too!  Good luck to everyone!

And this pre-op diet is killing me!!!! UGHHHHHHHHHHHH It's been such a struggle.......
