Update: everything went well today, was actually up and walking the halls about two hours after getting in my room. Don’t get me wrong the pain  can be real. Especially the gas pain, but you know who told me what do when that happens? My WLC family here, so I got my butt up and started walking . It worked. Thank from the  bottom of my heart...   good night

Well I have been a member on here since February and I have really enjoyed lingering here nightly following everyone stories both pre and post surgery. Now it's time for me, two days out (5 June). But due to being member of this site I feel really good about Wednesday. Reading other's sharing their stories has help prepare me both mentally and physically. Thanks WLS family, meet you on the other side.

From the only other male in the group, Welcome! You got this...we all got this!! Thank you for your service.

I just want you females to know that "us "males are on here too. I was seating thinking a lot of you have given birth before and yet you're still concern about this. As a male I can't compare the concern of this surgery to giving birth. I would guess the closest I can compare is being a US Army vet., who was worried (but not scared) while sitting outside a small village in the pitch dark night in a sandy country and telling the young troops I was blessed with being in command of " We Got This". Going through this journey ( my surgery date is 5 June) and reading all these stories and words of encouragement from those here... I feel strong ...like " I got this ... Thanks

BOOM ..did it...check the block ....LOL

you got it

I cant believe how fast this whole process has happened for me. It seems like just yesterday I attended my WLS seminar. My seminar was actually 01-22-19 and here I am preparing for surgery 05-22-19 in the morning. Thank to everyone who’s responded to my post with encouragement and advice. See ya on the looser bench ....,,,

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have been busy over the weekend getting my house (and me) in order for surgery. It is officially 2 weeks from today 😲. I am getting both excited and nervous. Since I will be on my all liquid diet next week, I was searching for a few Protein Shake alternatives to premier. Since, I haven't tasted premier I didn't want to spend the 💲 for a case of shakes that I might not like. Well I found a reasonable alternative.
This tastes pretty good and was only $14.50 per case(12 in a case). The only thing bad I have to say about them is it tastes so much better cold.

I've ordered my month's supply of patch Vitamins. My doctor is recommending that we have them for the first month then we are free to pursue which vitamins we like. Except NO Gummies....
I made one of my favorite dishes last night............Chicken Marsala with fresh Pasta and sauteed spinach. I know I will not be having that in a long time so I was deserving. This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend..........I have sponsoring the cookout on Sunday and will view it as my last supper😁. Then on Monday...........The liquid diet begins. So to keep my mind strong........ I will be doing a lot of reading and watching a lot courses/classes on the Great Courses website. I keep telling myself I am mentally strong and CAN and WILL handle this........... because the "1985 Purpledva" is calling!!🤣
JuneBunch.........We Got This!!!!

At work we keep a machine for cauterizing wound awkwardly attached to the wall partially behind the exam chair. This is actually not a problem for anyone else in the clinic. But today was the first day was able to fit behind the chair to adjust the machine myself instead of have the doctor do it themself.
I'm not sure they noticed but I'm so happy.

Hello all, I've been on this site since Feb, when I started my gastric sleeve journey. I have enjoy reading all the information and encouragement given here. I really enjoyed reading when people received their surgery date and wonder what I will feel like on the day I get mine. Well that day came today...5 June is the day. Now I truly understand what "nervousness and excitement" combined feels like. Wish me luck.
