Good luck, everyone! I'm 11 days out & feel better every day. No regrets, period!

√ Packed √ Showered, shaved, belly button scrubbed √ One-on-one time w/ kids & hubby √ Called my momma √ Ready for bed but too keyed up! Up @ 3:30am to get to hospital @ 5am, should I even bother going to bed?? ) Thank you, guys, for all of the encouragement & such... being part of this group, seeing how the first ones up are doing, has been really good for any anxiety or questions I might've had. I'm unbelievably calm tonight. Prayers for the 6 of us 8/9ers. ♥

Congratulations, Nina!! Great job!

Thank you, Klyn! Can't believe I'm on that list for tomorrow! Good luck, everyone! xoxoxox....

You guys are awesome! Weighing less than my husband... now THAT's a big one that I didn't think about, Jess. We've been together 26 years & I weighed less than him for probably a week. Looking forward to that one.

I can't believe I'm on day 10 of my 10 day pre-op diet & that I'll be sleeved tomorrow! liquid diet went really well, day 10 is a little different w/ just the Clear liquids, but so far so good. I'm thankful for my early morning check-in (5am!), I wouldn't want to wait longer w/ nothing in my belly! Been really enjoying hearing how well those who have been sleeved are doing... it's really encouraging & helps relieve any anxiety I might've otherwise had if I were doing this on my own. Also really enjoying participating in the FB group.

Great lists, all! So much to look forward to!

Great list, Lizzie! I know what you mean, but I'm figuring until I get some skin removed, I'll be tucking everything into that uncomfortably hot shapeware!

Mine is Thursday, too, Shaniceh01! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, too, but I'm so ready to get through this & get on w/ my new journey!! Good luck these last few days.

Perfect goal for all of us, Southern Oregon! I, for one, have been spending time on here getting as prepared as I possibly can & am feeling pretty confident that I know what I'm doing, what to expect & what to avoid. Can't wait to get beyond surgery in a few days so I can begin this life changing journey! (of course 8 of 10 days of liquid protein is a good start!)

Good luck to the lucky 19 today!!

Good luck!!! Hope all went well!

Thanks so much, MamaMckinzie, for your encouragement! So happy for you that you've done so well over this past year! I'll be sleeved on Thursday (8/9) & am so looking forward to a long & satisfying life!

On day 7 of my 10-day pre-op liquid protein diet. I'm doing rather well, but had 2 different birthday parties to deal w/ the past few days (one @ my house.... pizza & DQ cake, anyone?!!). I'm so ready to hole up in my house for the next 4 days (then the next month!) to be away from everyone else's food influences! ................so happy to be here w/ you guys... the updates from you who have been sleeved the past few days are really easing my mind, so THANK YOU!! Glad you're all doing so well.

Glad you're doing so well, Joyce!! Your updates, as well as those others who have been sleeved the past few days, are easing my mind so much. Thank you. Just a few more days.....

Good luck, Mary Beth!!

Good luck tomorrow, aug6!! Great job w/ the 10 lbs! Only the beginning!

Glad you're doing better, MamaMelly!

I think we'd be lying if we said we weren't nervous, too! This is a BIG DEAL! You've had a long wait, too, so it makes sense that being this close would cause a little emotion. I'm 6 days away, less actually, I guess, & I'm blown away that I'm finally here. It's been exciting to hear how the first of us August sleevers are doing, calms me a bit. Good luck, you'll do awesome!

I'm scheduled for August 9th, too! How does day 7 feel? I'm on day 5 of 10 days & am doing fine. Excited & nervous is right... this is getting really real, really quickly! Good luck!

Mzluvee... great list! Crossing your legs, I forgot about that one!! & being in Onderland will be fabulous, too! That's an awesome list, Notime! Looks like you're well on your way! Good for you! I'm ready for increased energy, for sure!

Great response, Thyckness718! A good healthy future w/out all of the aches & pains, the awkwardness in various situations, etc. So looking forward to that! Awesome list, theoldmusicbox! I totally relate (as I think most of us do!) to the driver's license issue. LOL. I'm looking forward to weighing LESS than what my license says for a while. Congratulations on your fantastic success to date! 100lbs, fabulous! Good luck w/ your 5k!

What are you most looking forward to after being sleeved? I want to be able to walk a distance or climb a flight of stairs w/out being winded. I want to FLY (w/out feeling like I'm encroaching on my neighbors) I want to ride roller coasters & hike w/ my family. I want to have the confidence that I’ll fit in that chair @ the concert or movie theater. I want to shave my legs w/ a razor, LOL. I want my bra to stop slipping off of my shoulders… my purse, too, for that matter. I want energy to do what needs to be done. I want energy to get me healthy & confident in myself again. I want to love my husband confidently. I want to stop hiding from people who haven't seen me @ this weight. I don’t want to be the fat mom & wife anymore. I know there's more, but that's enough for now..... How about you?

Hope all went well for everyone today!

Great thread, all! Thanks so much for all of the great info!
