Valerie, how r u feeling on the liquid diet? I am on day 2...feeling weak today. Wasn't so bad yesterday...today a little worse...

Hahahahha...u guys are funny!!

I was nervous too and the "what ifs" were eating me up!! Stay strong...sending positive energy your way!!

@rai...I wish I had the energy!! @minnie...what do u mean by interesting??

I went to the hosp today and went over all restrictions and the nurse assured me that my nail and toe polish was not a problem...which is nice since I just got them done...its whatever!!

Well hello sleeve sisters!! May 15th at 1230 here!!!

Yes I didn't mind at all...I also want to make sure I am doing things right and if she hadn't said something I would've kept drinking the wrong stuff!

I was weighed at check in with the surgeon this morning!! Don't scold me!! LOL @ Wheetsin!! I am actually a big advocate of not "scale watching"...but the nurse weighed me and saw I gained a lb...and was grilling me about whether or not I was following protocol...which I am!! I actually just looked at the back of my protein shake bottle and it has too many grams of carbs...mine has 16 and the NUT said to keep it under 10...so I am going to the Vitamin Shoppe here shortly...I have to get my weight re checked thurs or fri because of the gain so I hope the water retention reverses itself by then!!

Here's a question...I started the pre op liquid diet yesterday...I gained a half of a pound?? And I don't seem to have to pee as much as I thought I would?? What gives?

I am so happy u are doing better! That is awesome to hear...hopefully you will feel 100% soon!!

I started my pre op liquid diet today and have a schedule the NUT gave me that is making things much easier for me. I can email a copy if u like. Please msg me or post ur email address and I will be more than happy to send u what I have!

I don't know where introductions are even posted? Like whoch thread? I stay in the pre op thread mostly because I am pre op...then post op to see what its going to be like after I am sleeved...sorry you felt left out! It wasn't intentional!!

Forever29 we are sleeve sisters! May 15th here too! Started pre op liquid diet today...

Hello to all the new people and good luck on your journey!!

Congratulations!!!

I took a bath shortly after having gall bladder surgery yrs ago...laid back to wash my hair and then used my core muscles to sit up...worst mistake ever...I agree...don't use the tummy muscles for a while!!

I know exactly where Silsbee is!!

Wheetsin I have had that happen, the part where they stick u a billion times...its hurts!! I am sorry that happened to u!

I live in Beaumont Katyb!!

Take a pic...and compare with old ones...I have to do that when I lose any weight or I don't see it either...

@Kanda, I can relate to that completely!! I have 11 days left...stay busy friend! It really helps!
