I'm very interested. How do I find you to as a friend or find the private group?

I'm alive and well...revision went well and now sleeved..lots of pain and gas..stayed I'm the hospital an extra day...but home now sipping on water and sf popsicles.. Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement!!

This a been a wonderful ride thus far...it has been amazing to read ask the post from preop to postop. I have been approved and knowing my surgery date since July 30, and I never thought Oct would come fast enough... I have 3 more days and a wake up before I lose 75% of my tummy (good bye and good riddens)..Good luck to all of my sista's before and after me! My prayers are with us all in the past, present and future...

I so feel your symptoms..dry mouth and wanting to get back to real good. I'm on day 9 of 15!!

I'm going in for revision from band to sleeve as well with DR D. Kim as well on the same day. My biggest fear is that I have the band removed and then have to return for a 2nd procedure. I started my liquid diet on the 26th and just got creative with mixing 1 T of s/f Jello pudding (cheesecake) with blending my vanilla Protein powder and 3 ice cubes...delicious!! (lunch today will be mixed with 1 T of PB2 powder) yummy!

Me, too.. I know that my doctor requires that I take a pepcid the night before surgery and another the morning of surgery, but I now know why....thanks!

I'm really feeling it today... I went to Walmart and I purchased my medications: Children tylenol, GasX strips, pepcids, hall's cough drops with vitamin Cc listerine strips, chapstick, and filled my prescription for B12 nasal drops and most important "the codine." I also purchased my Ninja blender, food scale, lil graduates plates, fork, and spoon set, broth, s/f puddings to add to protein powder, propel zero, and Isopure RTD for the next 11 days.... I hope I did not forget anything!!! If I did someone please chime in...

Thank you and you as well are doing great, I have only been this successful and committed due to a combination of the support, advice and opinions from this forum and fitness pal. I am really going to stay on too of the diet to make sure I am on target for my bday which is 11-12. Stay focused and remember "a minute on the lips is a lifetime on the hips" not worth it!!

Welcome to the club- there is several of us on 10-11-12...notice the frequency of numbers in our new birthday!! Gotta love it!! Good Luck along the way...

I know..I am marking by calendar like children do for Christmas!! The liquid diet has not been all bad, I expected worse from reading other posts.. (handling it like the strong woman I AM)

We have something in common: My surgery is on the same day and started preppy on yesterday!! Starting weight: 296 Current weight: 269 I hope to be 256 upon completion of liquid diet!! Btw, I live in Texas and 15 years your senior (40 yrs old)!!

Hello everyone...Today was my first day of liquids! I did well and now is my count down time, 13 more days until the big day!! Oct. 11 can not come fast enough! Super excited again, (nerves have subsided for now)...

Reality has set in. I have completed my pre-op nutrition class, preop admission for the hospital. I am starting to really feel the fear and nerves shoot thru the roof. I am so fearful of the unknown.. I am starting to doubt my decision. I have lost 30 lbs since the last doctor visit on 7/11/12, so my current weight is 269 lbs. I do not start my preop diet until 9/27/12 and I am sure to lose another 15 to 20 lbs by my surgery date of 10/11/12. I am so confused, scared, nervous and worried if I am doing the right thing! Is there others that feel this way this close to the surgery date? Help me October Sleevers regroup...
