  2. @@Peekboo Thanks so much for sharing. I'm glad you are doing so well. See you on the other side.
  3. I guess I have about the same. My surgery is tomorrow morning at 9 am. I have to be at the hospital at 7 am. I am pretty nervous right now.
  4. I go tomorrow too. I am hungry and stressed. Still need to pack my bag and do my hibiclens wash. I am so tired, I just want to go to bed and wake up tomorrow when it's all over. Lol
  5. @@Peekboo How many days since your surgery? Are you up and around? Did they make you get up and walk every two hours? Mine says I will have to do that.
  6. @@Peekboo Thanks! It helps to know people survived. How was the gas and thirst the first day?
  7. @@chellede I realized I had more than I thought. All of my Soups and broths are in the pantry. I am cleaning too lol. Wanted my room all nice and clean to re-coop in. I have to do a hibiclens wash tonight and I am supposed to get in to clean sheets so I had to clean them. Hibiclens is an antibacterial wash. I have to be at the hospital at 7 am tomorrow. I hope I can sleep. How are you doing?
  8. Tomorrow is our day October 14th sleevers. How is everyone feeling? Excited, scared, a little of both? Any advice from those post op? Any last minute preps going on? Can't wait to start this journey. Praying we all have no complications and a quick recovery.
  9. Kimberly_R I'm glad you are feeling calm. I go Tuesday and my emotions have been all over the place today. Good luck tomorrow. Praying for no complications and a quick recovery for you.
  10. @@Who Dat 70461 Thanks so much for the encouraging words! I go on Tuesday also and I have been feeling a little panicked too. I think that is pretty normal. I can't wait to see us all on the other side and feeling great. Although, I'm prepared for pain and the emotional roller coaster that will be the first couple of months.
  11. @@Delta Dawn Thank you! I feel like this is such a great support group!
  12. @@chellede You are so prepared. I have some things but I'm not that prepared. I'm going to make a list of what I still need and pick those things up tomorrow. Excited and nervous and hungry lol.
  13. @@tardis76 Wow! That is awesome. How are you feeling? Mybestlife I am going to have my husband there for the surgery. My dad is coming up for the afternoon and my friend is taking off the next couple of days to be with me. I still haven't decided if I'm telling people outside of my family and close friends. I'm having my gall bladder removed also so I might just tell about that for a while.
  14. @@lovelytrl Thanks. I need those happy calming vibes too. I go on the 14th also. I am a little nervous. Mostly just ready to be post-op. It is coming up quickly. Trying to think of everything I need.
  15. @@Birdie77 GNC. I bet their other flavors are good too. It is very smooth.
  16. @@mnmlst Good luck! Let us know how it goes. I go next Tuesday. Can't wait to start my journey.
  17. @@Lesile65 I'm sorry your chiropractor did that to you. It has to be your decision. You have to weigh all the pros and cons. For me, I know it is what I need to do. I am 4 days out also. I am nervous about the surgery and the recovery but I'm excited to be able to do all those things being over weight has stopped me from doing. I hope things go well for you. Prayers.
  18. @@AmyinNC Glad you are doing so well. Thanks for the encouragement. 4 days to go.

  20. My surgery is the 14th also! I am ready to get the surgery part over and start my journey. I have been on a pre-op diet of 2 protein shakes and a lean dinner of protein and vegetables. I can have sf jello, pudding and popcicles. Monday, I do a liquid diet. Good luck to all of us!
