I'm scheduled for May 31st...can't wait! What's this Kik thing y'all are talking about on the last page?

I was full liquids on week two which included, Protein Shakes, yogurt, Jello, Soup broth, basically anything of a liquid consistency. I ate three times a day plus 2 Snacks. Keep in mind you should also still be sipping all day to get your 64oz of fluids in. For me everything consumed counted towards the 64oz since it was all liquids. I hope this helps.

I am a 48 year old retired vet, married, and working on my second career. My surgery date is tomorrow (5/31/17). I have so many mixed emotions right now, but mostly very excited! Let the journey begin!!! I always thought it was ridiculous when people use the word 'journey.' Anyway..
I started this journey (dang, there I go again!) about a year ago but got delayed due to a lil bit of cancer. But, had it not been for that, I would be months post-op by now. The process was easy, as was dealing with Tricare. The only delay was that stupid cancer! Once I was cleared for WLS surgery by all my docs my surgeon's staff sent off to Tricare and I was approved and scheduled for surgery within the week!
So, here I am now. I am concerned about how I will be feeling post-op, but focus how I will be feeling once I get rid of this extra person I've been dragging around. I want to lose 108 pounds. I look forward to doing things I used to do like...tying my own damned shoes!
My husband of seven years is super supportive and is looking forward to my surgery as well...since we have been married, he has put on a little bit of weight; I am a dang good cook. He's one of 'those' people who can drop weight just thinking about it! But, he looks forward to me not cooking as I normally do so he can drop his extra weight. I LOVE food and enjoy cooking; which is also one of the things I will miss. I think I will still cook; I will miss eating it. I just need to focus on cooking the healthy crap...I mean, food! .
I am confident in my ability to lose this person (we'll call her Shelly) and can't wait until 0530, 5/31/17!!!

Good idea, thanks!
I’m 42, married to my high school sweetheart. Our only son just graduated high school. I enjoy our horses and dogs, walking and swimming. My hobby is barrel racing, which I hope to get to do more and easier, after my surgery. (May 31st).
After dieting for as long as I can remember, this past year I just felt as though this was me. I’m always going to have to fight my weight. The older I get, the heavier I will get. But, over the past few years I feel like I’ve lost the person I used to be. The person I want to be. At times I no longer felt the desire to ride my horse that I trained myself to run barrels. Sometimes I didn’t even want to go do things with our friends. As my weight would go up, then down some, then back up more, I slowly quit taking my horse to competitions because I couldn’t shake the fact that I had been told I was too big for him. The past couple years I’ve just kind of floated through life. It wasn’t until bariatric surgery was brought to my attention that I felt that maybe I could reset my body, become healthy, and hopefully, reset my life.

So here I am. This is just the beginning of my journey.
Blessings to you all!
