Started my pre op yesterday! So excited/nervous/frantic/I don't even know lol. Still so many crazy feelings as I'm hearing is completely normal. I wish I could close my eyes and wake up to November 13th. Have been doin great so far. With a positive mind I know I've got this.

It's official. I have just 9 days left! I was at first very nervous and extremely moody from the diet changes, but I am much happier, have a positive mind set, and the liquid diet is going surprisingly well. I don't even think about food. I am all about the discipline. No is no and that's that. I'm so ready to start my new journey!

Yes, I'm so excited to begin. Thank you for those helpful tips because I can't help but think how ill feel mentally about it the first couple of weeks. I am going to try and take it one day at a time. I live by "this too shall pass" lol.

Thanks so much Laura! A wonderful day that is. I love seeing your comments and posts you have such a wonderful personality. Happy early one year out for you! You've done fabulous I see.

Wow girl you're looking great!!! How're you feeling?

I agree. The insurance was the one thing I was so nervous about, but my husband agreed that if they didn't cover then Mexico it was. The whole fare w surgery and stay including flight is aprox 5 grand right? The day of we should tell share our weight, and goal weights and check in on each others progress

I've been doing ibuprofen for the headaches before bed. I wake up fine but they creep back in around 2 pm lol

LOL... Oh wow, you're both on liquids only?? That must be tough...I may try the boiled egg to lessen my calories. I want my liver to be as small as I can possibly get it lol. My liquids only are the 12th

Yay! Another sleeve buddy! Lol you're so right honey, this is all worth it. We've got to keep our eye on the prize. I think we may all have similar diets. Clear liquid, 3 protein shakes, veggies, small meat, or a lean cuisine meal? Thats mine. I'm also gettin the headaches. Tonight I felt dizzy. 8 lbs in 3 days is wonderful!! I can't wait either

Thank god you haven't had a difficult time with it. I'm happy for you. I only drink water so it's been really easy for me. I've lost quite a bit of weight in the past, and ever since then I never drank soda or juice again. Occasionally I would have a coffee but nothing addicting so in that aspect I have been pretty lucky. Surprisingly it's actually going really well, besides only being able to mix the protein shake w water, it tastes so pasty like that but I use the good ol hold your breath trick an it does the job lol. I'm having mines at roger Williams hospital by dr Giovanni in Rhode Island. Each day I get more excited don't you? We are getting closer and closer to our new healthier much happier lives.

Yaaay hiddis I've been looking too! We can be sleeve buddies! Where are you located? How's your pre op so far?? How are you feeling about the whole thing at this point?? In so happy for us!

Wow that's sooo wonderful! I'm so happy for you. I believe as you do that it takes one day at a time. It is all mind over matter. How much weight have you lost?

Agreed' thank you for the encouragement

Yes. That's wonderful! I have her too. He's great. I'm from providence.

I have to tell you that this video made me feel so relieved. In going to use your method. As I listened to the video I did exactly as you told and was able to feel my chest loosen. Thanks so much for sharing

November 13th here

I am in the same boat. So many mixed emotions. Al I can do is think. I'm relieved to hear also that I'm not alone in feeling this way.

I wasn't at all scared through my whole process, but now that I have a date I'm very much afraid..... I'm hearing this is normal.

Where are you from if you don't mind my asking? I have the same surgeon.

Wow good job sweetie!

Crying as I type this! Finally got my date. Start my pre-op diet October 30 and scheduled for surgery November 13. Cannot wait to rock my sleeve! Now I know this is all real.

Thanks very much. Good lucky honey. So exciting!
