Hello, I had my sleeve surgery on 06/11/2014; for the past 2 weeks I have had acne breakouts. Normally I have good skin however; this is way out of the norm. I was my face everyday, I am just wondering if this is a normal reaction from surgery.

Welcome to the site! I had surgery on 06/11; I went for walk last night and never felt better. How are you feeling?

Wow I never thought this day would be here! Today I leave to have my sleeve surgery. When I first started this process I was so scared and nervous however; now I am excited! I am on my 7th day of my liquid diet. While on the liquid diet Monday-Friday was not hard at all however this weekend was hard. I wanted nothing more than to snack, and eat food. Man I miss food!! I am proud to say since I have been on the liquid diet I have lost 12lbs. Losing the weight on the liquid diet has motivated me so much and has taken away my fear of having the sleeve surgery. I am leaving tonight, and will fly out on Tuesday and have surgery on Wednesday. I am all packed and ready to go. I guess as ready as I'll ever be. I am so ready for this new life! I want put adventure in my life! There are so many things I want to do once I am all healed up; I can't wait! Please keep me, my doctor, and his staff in your prayers. Thanks for listening!!

OMG!!! That is AMAZING!! Congrats! A size 14 is my goal size, I feel so inspired! Thanks for sharing

How's it going today?? My diet has been ok today, I am thinking of drinking some Protein shakes tomorrow. I've been drinking nothing but broth, I am ready for something different. How are you feeling today?

Hello! I will have surgery on 6/11, I'm on day 3 I my liquid diet. I haven't lost as much weight as I thought. I get nervous and scared however; I can't wait for my end result.

Wow! Since may the 12th? That's a long diet? I've been dieting since January however the liquid diet is something else. The diet is ok at work, around 2:00 it gets rough that's when I crave a snack. I really miss my snacks and crunchy things. Are you drinking protein shakes as well?

Congrats!! I am 8 days way from surgery! Are you nervous or excited? Are you on the liquid diet; if so how's that going for you? I am on day 2 its hasn't been bad. I hope this week goes by fast for you.

Hello, I am on day 2 of my liquid diet. I am having surgery on 06/11. Yesterday and today have not been bad however last night was not good. I decided to have beef broth instead of chicken broth and it grossed me out, it made me sick.

I am going to have surgery on 06/11. I started my liquid diet yesterday. Are you excited?

Hi Lisa!!! So how are you handling the nervousness?? I did "my story" and I felt better, so I decided to do a daily blog.

Does anyone know about Compression Shapeware? I was advised to purchase one however I'm not sure if I should buy it now or wait until after my surgery. if anyone is interested the website is www.divascurves.com.

Awesome! Sounds good to me!! I actually have 3 other friends who are going to have surgery the same day as we however, I don't think we have any idea what to expect, other than saying "LETS STAY POSITIVE". I did "My story" yesterday on my profile and it helped me a lot. I think I am going to do a daily blog, just to help with the anxiety I feel I cause myself.

Hi Wendy! How are you feeling? Are you nervous/excited? I find myself reading a lot of the forums and watching a lot of weight loss shows.
