Polly Pocket

Surgery was Monday the 8th. Getting discharged today. I'm excited about the future. I still have concerns about getting in the requirements and what\when to tell those who start to ask, but I'm sure it will be all worth it. I'm 54 years old and weight has been a life long battle. I knew that this had to be done so that I could enjoy the rest of my life without so many meds and complications from excess weight.

It is finally here!!! Tomorrow is my day as well, Camopink27! I'm on my 3rd day of Clear Liquids and having a hard time imagining that I won't be hungry and that just a little bit of food is going to fill me up.
Good Luck and God Bless!

I had my band removed in July. Monday I will be sleeved. Recovery was easy. I took the day off for the procedure and the next day to recover at home. Back to work the next. A little soreness, but nothing too bad. I are normal foods right away.

So far, I've got ......, silicone ice cube trays (for broth and yogurt and such)...

I have yogurt that I'm not going to be eating for a while (surgery on Monday). I'm going to try to freeze some in my silicone ice cube tray! Good idea!

I have only Clear Liquids the 2 days before surgery but that is the extent of it.

I have clear liquids for 3 days prior to surgery. I start that tomorrow as surgery is MONDAY!

I just bought the silicone ice cube trays. We had some leftover mashed potatoes so I froze them for later. Surgery is Monday! 

I have always when someone tries to be my 'food police'. But i'm wondering, do you find having your significant other or bestie acting as your "Food Police" helpful or not?

? Does anyone have any tips on what to bring to the hospital?

This is my list:
Heating Pad, Ear plugs, Eye shades, Ear buds, Tablet (or iPad), Charger, Phone, Chapstick, Robe, Slippers, PJs, Walking shoes, Medications, Healthcare POA, Extension cord, My Pillow, Gas-X strips, sugar free mints, Lotion, Mouthwash or spray and a water bottle for the trip home.

I've been waiting to see my name on the Upcoming Surgeries list for a long time. Good luck to all January people and to those who will be right there with me on January 8th!

You can do it! Remember that you'll be safer during surgery if you don't cheat. Blessings and Merry Christmas!

Mine still does it sometimes. My dog was growling at it the other night [emoji4]

Fantastic transformation!!!!

Boots! A really good pair of high legged boots that don't have elastic panels!

Seems impossible, doesn't it?
Wouldn't you just love to show this to those "calories in, calories out" people?
Keep the faith!

My surgery date is Jan 8. I already signed up for 2 exercise classes, the first is which starts in March. I should have a significant loss by then. I'm hoping that I find them enjoyable.

Mine gained from eating my leftovers.

i warned my hubs that this is my fear for him. He loves to eat my leftovers.

LOL .... but I'll see double and have full-blown "visions" of unicorns, rainbows, and giant lollipops! Giant lollipops...mmmmmmmm......

ROFL! I always enjoy posts from you, FluffyChix.

I figure that my spouse will either lose weight right along with me ( since I won't be eating much, cooking much, no Snacks or eating out for a while) OR he may gain weight by eating what I don't.

What happened with your spouse or significant other's weight?
