Hello - 9 days pre-op liquids. Feeling very good. Haven't cheated but drinking lots of broth. Anyone want to stay on this thread that has exact same date? I'm not on Facebook so can't join the Jan group. Real countdown has begun. I love my chocolate premier Protein shake. How are you other "11th" folk doing during countdown? 204, 5 feet 2 in, 54 yrs young.

So the gas doesn't come out, it just needs to settle in your body? Is that correct?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

Dayna,thanks for sharing. I have a a question for all. To get rid of the gas, do you pass gas? Break wind? Etc...is that how the gas gets out? Or just move around til it settles in you? Ty

My surgery is Jan 11 and I understand. I keep my mind on after the surgery. I have had two c sections and know there is recovery involved but imagine you are going to be well taken care of during your surgery . You are on a road to better yourself.

Jan 11th. Completed day 5 pre op liquids. Just finished reading Queen of Crop by Zoe Belle, she journals her first year after sleeve. I'm over 50 so her story helps reinforce reasons for surgery! I'm training my mind now, to continue to be strong. Good luck all Jan Sleevers!

Dairy Mary are you still glad you did the surgery? You are far enough away from surgery so I imagine things have normalized as long as you are vigilant. Ty

Hi Kristen, the real countdown! You feeling ok? First few days were rough but I have leveled out.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

Thanks Bufflehead. I'm on pre op and my mind has to be the strength and seems like you are taking the right steps to get control. I must say when eating only liquids I feel in control. When I was eating whatever I wanted I was out of control. I appreciate you sharing your story and keeping us all some ideas how to gain control again. Ty!

Good for you Lisa Kay! Day 2 on liquids. I am a bit hungry but I have the end game in mind.

Yes, day two complete for liquids. I'm doing ok and made some home made broth that helps. Hope you are doing well.
