So I had my surgery on Monday March 12. Everything went well except I had to have a hernia repaired. The pain was intense the first few days but I am feeling better today. Has anyone else had to have hernia repair as well? If so any advice or any barriers.

In less than 18 hours I will finally get my gastric sleeve! I've been waiting for almost 9 years for this and I can't wait! I'm still another month away from eating soft foods but, I've completed the 2 weeks of pre-op liquids and I did NOT cheat! I saw my surgeon on Jan 2nd, completed nutritional counseling, passed the psych exam, lost 29 lbs. or more and made 21 trips (round trip is 2.5 hours), joined 2 gyms, purchased a treadmill and now I'm across the street from the hospital tonight! Now if only the weather will cooperate so that my family can get here from out of town...

Thank you so much!! I'm getting super nervous. I'm about to shower and pack and get my BEFORE pictures and then head out!!

I am scheduled for 3/12 and its hard to believe that is 6 days away. I am fortunate that I do not have to do 2 weeks of liquids. My surgeon has a 2 day liquid diet. Prior to that I have been doing Protein Shakes for Breakfast, lunch and then meat and veggies for dinner.

But they may be having non scale victories, losing inches & exchanging fat for muscle, everybody has stalls and then start losing again without diet changes. It will all even out eventually.

I've only told one friend as well. I've done the shopping for the pre-op and post-op...feel like I should be doing something else! The waiting is hard I'm spending a lot of time building a Pinterest page for recipes, support blogs, motivation, exercises to help as I recover.
