Nope... Had a lot of... What am I getting myself into??? But that's about it.

Happy Tuesday everyone. I was sleeved yesterday by Dr. Alvarez. Was in surgery before 9. Have had no pain and shockingly no gas pains.... Yet. I did a little walking yesterday but it was so warm in the halls that it made me a little light headed. I have been sleeping a lot but I am fine with that. The staff here is so wonderful. Very attentive. I will be up and moving soon . How are the rest of the Monday sleevers doing?

Thank you so much! I know you all had great experiences with dr a... So that makes me feel better. See you on the losers bench!!!

Leaving for the airport super early this morning... on my way to San Antonio and then to Mexico! Excited but nervous I am forgetting something! Good luck to everyone this week .. just in case I am too medicated to say it later!!!

I will be spending 2 nights in the hospital.. fine with me.. I would rather be there as I get use to my new stomach: ) 10 days of liquids before the surgery as well. I am on day 2 .. ok so far : ) I already find myself getting bored.. its amazing how much food or meals fill your day..

Thats funny ... I went home to have cream of chicken soup for lunch! Then I realized it WASNT the 98% fat free kind... so I guess I am off to the store this weekend for that. I am stopping at a chinese restaurant on my way home from work for chicken broth. I will trick myself into believing its WON TON soup.. not just the broth : ) Whatever it takes : ) I am going to visit family this weekend and will be around my nieces. And taking them to a carnival. So I will be around a lot of JUNK food, but it doesn't really interest today. Next week it might be more tempting, so I am glad I am getting it out of the way now... Good job on the weight loss!! That is a great start! And I am sure it will help with the surgery... and no worries.. ramble all you want!

You are flying in on the 26th? Maybe we will see each other then. BUt yes, You will probably see me shuffling down the hall with my IV pole : ) Today is day 1 of the liquid diet.. I have to do 10 days. I have been drinking Protein shakes for Breakfast for about a week now, and sometimes for lunch, so THAT part isn't too much of a shock. dinner.. now that will be tricky. How are you doing on the preop?

Hello! I am an August 27th sleever as well ... started my liquids today... How is everyone doing on the pre-op diet?

Hello! I am having my surgery with Dr A on the 27th.. maybe we will get to see each other!

Good morning All.. started my 10 day preop liquid diet today... so far so good! Had a mini meltdown last night.. bad day at work didn't help, but feel better today! I am sure the emotions will be all over the place in the next 10 days.

Thank you for the DETAIL!! I love it.. I will also be going to Dr. A alone in 2 weeks and its nice to see you that the Dr himself will reach out to my family. You sound like you are doing great... keep it up!!!
