*soft hug* You'll make it though dear. We are here for you. At least I am.

Thank you for talking me off the bridge, I got really scared. But I'm back on track. I plan to post every detail I can after surgery.
I had my final preop appt with my PCP, he is so great and supportive. Vitamins ordered, protinix ordered, all I need now is a GI cocktail from my surgeon for post op nausea and gas.

Today is the second day on liquid diet and tomorrow is my pre op appt with the surgeon. Getting excited!!
Binge watching "My 600 pound life". I can't help watching and getting my mind frame set to succeed no matter the obstacle!
Prayers for those who've gone before me and will go after me. Meet you on the Losers Bench!

I have a surgery date of 7-25-16. I'm very nervous and excited at the same time.

Omg I so feel you on this. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Hi fellow sleevers and soon to be! I am in my room, have been since around 11:00 (I think) the surgery went great. I'm glad to be on the other side of it now and starting my new life. Pain is minimal except in one area at the very top of my abdomen, right under the esophogus. It hurts like air is trapped, with just a little burning. Nothing I can't sleep through. They gave me more pain meds when i asked and I just took a little nap. I also just got back from walking. Went great too! Tip: I remembered from my past c-sections, to hold a pillow over your tummy and push on it when I was getting up. Also when walking around. It helped me with pain. All in all, I'm doing well. Can't wait to see everyone else's updates from surgery today!

Today is the day! Leaving for the surgery center in about a half hour. Sending out positive vibes to everyone going through the same today! Will try to post an update as those really helped me as I was getting closer to my date! See you on the other side!

This is what I was told on Calcium too. Also I always take Vitamins with food or Protein shake so I don't feel sick.

If I don't quit having food funerals, I am going to gain 20 pounds before my surgery.
