I was the same way last Thursday. You're gonna do fine, just don't be afraid to tell them you're in pain after surgery.

Goodspeed.

I leave for the hospital in one hour. I'm all ready. Bags are packed, pre op diet is a check.
Now, I'm just listening to a little Led Zeppelin The Battle Of Evermore. Ready!

9 hours and counting. I can't believe it's here. Wow.

Got my new date after having my surgery cancelled this morning. January 29th. I am able to eat until Friday when I have to go back on liquids. (Have already been on liquids for two full weeks!). Have to redo blood work, cross matching and the bowel cleanse. The fun never stops!!!

WOOHOO @ Eurogirl10!!! Happy for you!! Stay strong on liquid diet, it will make your surgery a lot easier on your surgeon + on you! You can do this!! I'm 11 days post-op and down 14 lbs :-)

After two days of all day phone calls for a new approval due to a Dr. office mistake, my insurance approved my surgery today. That's good, because it is on Thursday! Yay! I am tired of this preop diet! I'll post my stats soon. Not sure I lost weight on this liquid diet. I've been less active, but stuck to it 100%.

It makes me happy to finally be sleeved! It also makes me really happy to see how others are getting sleeved and preparing for better lives! I'm so happy I found this January forum.

It's finally a done deal, headed home in a few.

Hello fellow losers! ( haha.)
I am one week post op today! Just wanted to share stats!
HW 240
SW 238 ( starting pre op.)
DOS 220
Current 213!!
Goal 160
So pleased and happy! Post op has been challenging to stick to since I feel pretty good. I'm ready for some Beans and cottage cheese. Incisions are healing well. No more gas pain! Yay! I'll agree about drinking!! Gotta get those liquids in people, it helps your body so much.
"Smooth move tea" tastes fine and is a great natural laxative if any of you are struggling. I didn't take pain meds after surgery and still struggled but the tea works!

I had real Soup yesterday...not broth...let me just say that I never realized how delicious egg drop soup was. Hahaha. I felt like I was in complete heaven.

I'm 2 days out--on full liquids now and getting discharged from the hospital later today.

I am official sleeved!
My surgery was delayed (instead of going in at 4pm I didn't get to go in until 6pm). The surgery only took an hour and a half, I was sleepy all night after I woke up. I just woke up right now and I do feel very sore. The pain from the bigger incision I have is real haha. But I am really shocked that I have zero gas pains. I have been peeing often because of the IV juice and it really hurts to get up to the bathroom but it's nothing too bad. I'm getting a gastric emptying test at 6 am and hopefully go home today!

My sexy ladies...I literally just got home From Mexico. I had my surgery on Monday and I'm not having any problems at all which is AWESOME. I'll agree that I'm sick of the broths but eh who cares it is not forever. I'm glad to see all my ladies in the post op. I have lost 8lbs since surgery and feel awesome. I'm able to sleep in bed but I have to put a pillow under my belly so it does not hurt my stitches. YAY! keep up the good work!

Did y'all know that when you're dehydrated your body releases a chemical that forces it to retain Water? Get hydrated and you'll shed lbs like mad.

I think that's a great start!

Any loss is a good loss, don't worry about other people's stats, take care of you!

1 week post op and down 5 lbs ?!! I feel that's bad :/

Try a nice bisque too

Mostly dark meat chicken because it's moist. tuna. Ground beef. Don't be afraid to use mayo to dip chicken in or use a little gravy to moisten. It works wonders. Just chew chew chew.
