Good luck to everyone going in tomorrow and Tuesday. I know there's quite a few scheduled those days! I go next week Tuesday the 12th and anxious to hear how everyone does.

Tomorrow tomorrow
I get sleeved tomorrow
It's only a day away...ohhhhh
C'mon everybody sing
Tomorrow tomorrow
I get sleeved tomorrow
It's only a dayyyyy
Aaaawayyyy.

My date is the 12 th of August. I am so excited it just seems to taking forever to get here.

Balloon girl, reporting in. I've now blown up 270 balloons. It was really not much fun in the beginning but it's gotten so much easier and now I can whip out 30 in a row with no problem. So the sleeve has pretty much already made me an athlete and I haven't even gotten it yet.
liquid diet starts tomorrow, though.

August 1st for me...can't wait! Just two more days!

OMG! I am a Pinterest fiend! i already have a board started that I post all of the recipes I've found there for after my surgery. Have you heard of Bariatric Foodie? I have all her books. Her stuff is soooo good!

Soooo...I'm making a suggestion. If you are a Pinterest Fanatic like me, DON'T open Pinterest for a while and especially while you are on your preop liquid diet. OMG...I am hungry! LOL!! :-)

Whew...I suck to my pre-op diet and made it through my birthday without eating cake or drinking alcohol. It was hard. I haven't told anyone besides my wife about my upcoming surgery. So my friends and family put a lot of pressure on me to day. They all meant well.
I made a promise to myself and stuck to it. Good luck to everybody.

On day 11 of my 3 and a half week pre-op, liquid diet. Doing better with it now, but the first week was tough since me and my husband went on an already planned vacation. It's not so bad when I'm working cause I can stay away from the break room and the cafeteria, but at home is more difficult. Just tonight my husband felt the need to eat a couple Popsicles and big bowl of ice cream in front of me and seemed oblivious to what he was doing. Doing my best to ignore the junk in the house and satisfy my taste buds by sipping on some broth from the pot roast I made him for dinner. I really just want to scarf all the potatoes down! Ok, sorry, I'm done with my pity party...lol

Someone needs to bitch-slap that dude.
LOL!

Our stats are about the same and we will be sleeved the same day!

My dr said no lifting greater than 15 lbs. for a couple weeks. I still had a sore spot on abdomen so I was extra careful. I would recommend and abdominal binder so help support you abdomen and then use all your resources to help yourself with patients. But binder was very helpful!

@@butterflybefree The same thing happened to me. I got everything submitted just to find out the only person who could submit it to insurance went on vacation. I was on pins and needles until they finally gave me an answer, so I feel your pain. Good luck to you!

I am so excited to have my sleeve surgery Aug 12th! I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 17 and have had weight issues all my life. My cycles have been all over the place, from having a constant cycle for 8 months straight, to having no cycles for 4 months at a time. On and off B/C pills to control symptoms, but now I have been trying to conceive for the past two years with no success. Obese, infertile, and hairy do not make for a very positive self-image. With a supportive husband and a strong will to succeed, I'm looking forward to getting sleeved and starting our family!

I have been jumping through the insurance hoops since November of last year and I finally got approved earlier this week! I am so excited! I have PCOS and have been unable to concieve for the past two years. My OB-GYN has been one of my biggest supporters of me continuing with this plan as she thinks my issues are related to my weight. I start my orientation to surgery class and liquid diet next week. I have to be on the Optifast shakes for three weeks prior to surgery which will be interesting. The only positive thing about not having any children during this process is that my husband can figure out how to feed himself! I can't wait to get this surgery done and over with!
