I brought so much to the hospital and it was a waste. If you're not walking around you'll be sleeping and resting. Chapstick and phone charger was the only thing I used. Everything else is available at the hospital. And comfy clothes to wear home. No bra or pants. I wore a long muumuu type dress.

Had my surgery on Wednesday and came home today. I gotta say that I feel worse than I expected. One incision is so tight it's dimpled! I don't know if that's normal. I'm walking and sipping but what about nutrition? It's been broth all day which has a total of 20 calories for 32 ozs. No protein at all which surprised me. I'm also taking pain meds but they are pills I gotta crush up and hide in a teaspoon of sf pudding. It's terrible! I guess tomorrow I start my medifast shakes so hopefully I'll be happier! Hope all you other July sleevers are doing better than me!

Best of luck tomorrow!!! I wish you both safe surgeries and speedy recoveries!!! I go in on Wednesday so I will definitely be thinking about you. When you can, check in so we know you are ok!!! So excited for you!

I flip flop every other minute! I don't know what to expect. And being hungry is making me more cranky. I am tired of being fat, I know that for sure. We just need to stick to the program and commit 100%. I am in this for my kids. Gaining the weight back is too dangerous and not an option. If you need a buddy in available!!! 2 more days. ????

I too am on July 9th. And have the same fear of this not working. I have failed at everything else!

Lol. I got the same thing for Dave Matthews band. Haha.

AGREED!! They are my favorite too. I hope I still like them after surgery!!!

Yay. I'm the 9th too!!! This site really is amazing. Can't wait till we are on the losing side!!!

My first week is between 1100-1300 calories. My last week is 900-1000 calories. Then day before surgery is clear liquids only.

I really enjoyed reading and learning about you! I'm on July 9th too. I started today on only liquids. Gotta make it through the weekend which is going to be hard. BBQs are my favorite! So we got a week to get through. Wish you the best of luck!! Let's keep in touch!

Hey there. I'm July 9th too. And freaking out too. So much that I canceled my first surgery April 21st 3 days before the surgery!! So I'm in the same boat as you but this time I refuse to give in. We can do this and be just as successful as others on this site!! Wish you the best of recoveries!!!

Yay. Good for you. Best of luck on Thursday!! So excited...check in and let us know how you're doing.

Good for you kaitlyn! I hope to be strong like you when my will is challenged!

Amen Tisa! Nail on the head! When I go to the gym and make the right choices I'm like a million bucks. When I'm sneaking into a Chinese joint, stuffing and eating so fast that I don't even remember chewing, I just want to get under the covers and die! Why do we do this to ourselves. I'm on day three of my pre op and I am struggling. Had a slice of pizza today. Wanted to throw up I was so pissed at myself.

So got my tattoo yesterday and started my 2 week preop today! I feel like my life is starting over. It's such a great feeling! The J and O are my children's initials. Wish me luck to feel this good tomorrow! Lol
