How nervous are all of y'all with surgery next week? I was doing great until today. Then it all sunk in. I'm so nervous but excited too for this awesome change coming!!

I am the same as you! First week was a breeze but this week is sucking! Add it this is my busiest week at work and it makes for an extra tired and extra hungry me!

And I'm sure grumpy as well, right? That's how I was. lol.

I'm December 15th would love to have a buddy

Oh god monday can't come sooner, I'm finding this week so difficult every add on TVs is food, I'm dreaming food. I just can't wait until I just don't want anything. How is everybody else doing?

I am down 10.6. ????
Great job @@Sharon13 !!!

Has anyone been losing weight on the pre op so far? I'm 10lbs down 1st week.

Hi All,
I'm December 8th too. I would love to have some buddies to share our journeys. I am super nervous, but excited. I have a lower BMI. I'm a business owner & am an emotional & stress eater. I am looking forward to a fuller life filled with energy, family photos, & saying yes to outings with family & friends. I don't have Facebook. Again I would love some buddies. ????

Hi Sharon,
Lol I should have my daughter take some pics of me too. (Not naked ones.. lol I'm not that brave) I want to see the transformation like everyone else does & I want to use it as a motivational tool to keep moving forward ... not backwards. I'm so excited. Today I'm drinking all Meal Replacement shakes. Do you know if you can have a little cup of coffee w/ cream in the morning?

Dec 9th here too! Please keep in touch through this.

I'm December 8th! Would love to keep in touch with you all and support each other!!!

Wow so many people on December 8th. Good luck all.

Hello everyone, my surgery date is December 5. I feel worried because I have a plan trip on Dec 11-13. My surgery date was supposed to be early November but it was pushed to December. The doctor said it's ok to travel just don't carry anything heavy. I'm taking a 1% of risk. Well hopefully I get well soon. Good luck to y'all ????

I'm so excited, nervous, and READY! It's almost here and I can't believe it. I've definitely been in a "nesting" type state, cleaning and preparing the house; just trying to get everything ready.

Only 9 days left! I'm trying to get completely ready for the holidays pre-surgery since I'm not sure how I'll be feeling afterwards. I have my surgeon pre-op tomorrow, and the hospital pre-op on Tuesday. I'll be asking about what I may need to have at home for when I get out if the hospital. Otherwise I'm feeling pretty good

I'm Dec 8th would love to keep updated

Hey guys it's getting close now I'm on day 2 of my pre op diet soooo excited, got my daughter to take some before pics (me naked from all sides - not a pretty sight)

Hi
I'm December 8th too & I think doing it cash pay is nothing to feel guilty about! Congrats to you for loving yourself enough to give yourself a healthy & happy future. People spend more money on buying a car. Good luck to us all! ????

Hi All,
I'm December 8th as well. ???? I'm not doing so well on the pre-op diet. Tomorrow I'm going to hit it hard. Everyone is so supportive!! I'm super excited.

Yep I'm so committed I just sat in a restaurant while my daughter had steak sandwich and a friend had curry and as they had no veg Soup I actually had just Water. Xmas doesn't bother me at all its one too many dinners that got me to 25 stone roll on 2016

I'm scheduled for Dec 8th. I'm a cash pay and draining my HSA and doing care credit for the rest. Besides feeling bad for spending so much money, I'm on board and ready to go on the lifetime journey!

I am on day 4 today. Been doing Protein Drink for Breakfast. Protein chicken broth for lunch. Small salad with 3 ounces of chicken for dinner. I also try to have 2 Snacks. One is a fruit and the other a sugar free Jello or popcycle. I seem to be doing well. I have only been hungry twice. I think what helped me was 2 weeks prior to starting the pre-op diet, I cut out sodas and began cutting back on food amounts. That way I didn't go cold turkey. I am so ready for this surgery! I think I am just in a place where I want this so bad that I feel I can do anything for 2 weeks. ????

Excited! I've been waiting ages, too - started process last September, been booked in since February. Can't believe it's nearly here!

I am not Irish, but I have an Irish name and have green eyes.
I hope you find some fellow Irish folks.
I noticed your post title and thought "Irish Sleevers" would make a great name for a band so had to stop in and say "hey" (that is American Southern for "hello") from Kentucky, the horse capital of the world.

@chrisredjeep
Its a shame they don't do samples in the UK, like they do elsewhere. Would save a lot of money in the long run. I think I was just lucky with mine, I loved them pre op and I am still loving them now.
