I'm from South Hills in Pittsburgh too! I'm day 4 post op, and I'm just starting to feel like a person again! Good luck to you on your surgery!!

So neat finding someone so close to me. I actually answers another post you answered me on just a bit ago. So glad your healing nicely and happy with things! That's great to hear! Maybe we will meet one day! I'm in McMurray ????

@sherryk. I wish you luck with your surgery! One day before me! At least you'll be healing in warm weather for a little before heading home! I have a bunch of family in Florida. Pretty state.

Safe travels to you! And good luck on your surgery!!!

Cat.jackson your right here where I am!!! So neat to know there are people right in your own are! I'm in McMurray. Where are you?

That's how I feel too! I can't wait to be like 5 months out to see where I am! I wanted sleeved but my acids have made that not possible ????

How are you feeling? How was your healing? Have you had any troubles? Happy to hear from you!????

I have the same date as well! Today is my last day at work until after the surgery (took a vacation day on Monday to get things in order at home). I am definitely starting to be nervous, but I know that it will be worth it in the end.

I'm on Day 7 of my liquid Protein diet....and after Day 3, it got must easier to handle. I've found that being able to sip a cup of broth in the evening is enough of a 'treat' to get me through the day! After all the sweet from the shakes and fruit, I crave something salty...and broth fits the bill! I've lost about 8 pounds so far on the pre-op diet, so it must be working!

Best of luck to you on your surgery! We will do great!

Today is my last day to work (Saturday) I have all my winter and summer clothes all pulled out and I need to go thru everything! That's gonna take a lot of time.

I too am nervous! I wish I had my time so mentally I knew when it would be!

I'm on day 5 of 7 with the liquid diet. It's for the birds.

I'm hungry!!! It has gotten easier but I would love some food. I can understand what you mean about the sweet drinks. I had s cup of hot tea last night and it had spice in it. It was very good. Nice change up.

Where are you from?

Mine is the same date as yours!!! I will be having mine at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit..... Best of luck to you

Good luck to you way up in Detroit! I hope your surgery goes great! Thanks for writing me!

I'm doing wonderful, a little gas pain every now and then and I can get all my fluids in and Protein

@cat.jackson how are you feeling? Congrats!????

@lincolngrl I wish you the best for a great surgery!! So nice to feel your energy! ????

Good luck to you!!!

We're here for you Pedro. Never hesitate to write to one of us! We're here! I'm sorry you don't have anyone close to you to help you and be there for you. That would make things harder but in a way your not listening to everyone else telling you what "they think" you should do! It's al you which can also be nice.

I wish you luck with your journey! When is or was your surgery? What are you having? And where are you located?

Thanks so much Kathy for all of your insite and great advice!

I plan to listen carefully and sip sip sip and walk as much as I can. I will try to do my best

How are you feeling since your procedure 4 years ago? You were one of the beginners with it! I had full intentions on having the sleeve until I found out about all my acids and issues then we had to go to RNY. I'm calm right now but every once in awhile I get lost in thoughts and my stomach flips

Yes this 7 day liquid diet sucks!!!

Thanks for jumping in!

@suepro. I am so glad to hear your doing so well!!! Great to hear!!!

@kerrymarie32. I wish you nothing but the best today! I hope your surgery is flawless and you heal quickly! Good luck to you!!!

It's very hard on the people around us who love us. They're not fighting the battle we are but they are sitting helplessly watching us fight and struggle and that hurts.

Your SO is scared and this is how he's showing it. He loves you and doesn't want to lose you. He just wants to relax and enjoy life with you. Soon enough he will get that wish. Good luck to you!!!

Hi. Any advice for me? I'm on day 4 of my liquid diet and my surgery is 4 days away! (Tuesday). Excited and scared! Anyone else with this date?

So how are all my April buddies doing so far? I would love to hear from you all!!! And the few still left...(like me) I wish you the very best!!! I am on day 4 of my liquid diet and it's gotten a little better. My surgery is Tuesday 26th! Hope to hear from at least some of you out there!!! Any of you on Facebook?

I will help and talk with you too! I'm having my RNY in 4 days!

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much! Means a lot! Hope to hear how you go and I wish you loads of luck for a great experience!

Congrats to your great loss! That's exciting! I haven't thought of a name for mine yet. I'm waiting to see how it behaves itself! Lol.

I have 5 days then it's my turn RNY for me!

That's actually funny

That's great! Good for you! I bet you feel better just knowing you can start trying some new things.

I wasn't planning on making a new fb for this. Just thought making new friends and adding to current fb account. I actually have a private group for Pittsburgh people. We can do messenger if you'd like. Up to you????

Day 1 for me. I made it through my first day and a 13hr shift at work.
