  5. Awesome, I got a bit of the jitters myself. I only had to go on a liquid diet for 24 hours, which was basically the whole day today and tomorrow b4 the surgery. Have you drink your magnesium citrate drink yet? I have and it got my stomach rumbling, lol Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app
  6. I am also new as well, I will most likely post the day after the surgery to let everyone know how it went. I don't mind keeping in touch[emoji5] Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app
  7. I'm looking for people that have fit bits so that we can add each other and do fun challenges, etc to keep each other motivated. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app
  8. Awesome, we most definitely should. I look forward to it!!!! Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app
  9. Thanks for the advice, I plan on bringing my laptop and do some bing watching of Rick and Morty season 3 in between my walks and sips[emoji4]. This is also my first time having surgery, so it's kinda freaking me out a bit. I too think that I am thinking unrealistically about the pain that I will encounter, but I am strong and I know that the pain will eventually go away. So I implanted the words "suck it up" in my brain, because I know that this will all be worth it at the end. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app
  10. Yea, it took a lot for me to not blow up their phones from constantly checking if I got approved or not. Lol. But I did everything that I was suppose to do, so I was hopeful. But getting your date feels like Christmas. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app
  11. That's so amazing, I am happy for you. Clothes shopping will be so much fun for me especially because I always try to find excuses to shop and now I will finally have one, lol.. I actually love to walk, so consistently walking won't be a problem for me.... thats a great weight goal, and yes having some cushion is always good, especially in the right places[emoji23][emoji23].

  14. Yay!!!!!!! Good luck!!!!!! Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app
  15. The day after mine that's Awesome . I also brought everything that I could possibly need. I have so many protein powders, water, jello, broth, etc. I have a son and get so much anxiety at the thought of not being with him for possibly two days (I have separation issues) lol. This is also my first time ever having surgery so that makes me super nervous but I am going in with positive thoughts and I know that this is the right decision. Thanks for taking the time to write me and yes good luck and speedy recovery to us all!!!!!! Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

  18. Wow, 90lbs check you out and your almost at your goal weight, I bet your super proud of yourself (you should be). I legit can't wait till I get to that point in my journey. I haven't set a goal weight for myself yet.... I hear people complain mostly about the gas after surgery, I brought gas x, strips and pills. So hopefully I will not get as gassy (fingers crossed)..... congrats on being so close to your goal weight... how will you celebrate this success? Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app
