Lol! That's funny. I have smelled a lot of good stuff too. I got 3 days, and I an truly excited!

I always wondered if you could do that, cause I considered mines remaining. My surgeon said no. I was trying to do everything I could to get this weight off and keep it off. I have my surgery Friday. I am excited and super nervous.

Oh girl you are the day before me. We need to keep in touch. How are you feeling?

I am on the countdown!! 10 days!!! I start preop diet on Friday!! I think about this surgery all day and night long!! When I first wake in the morning I wake up thinking you don't need this surgery!! You need to eat healthier and exercise more!! Then once I am awake a getting ready for the day it's like I have to face my reality that this is for me!! I need this! My body needs this! My health needs this!!! I pray a lot! Beings that I have to fly for my surgery it has added some nerves. I am going by myself so my husband can stay with the kids and keep them in their routine! My husband and dearest friend are the only two people I have told! I have to just keep praying!!

I am feeling like a yo-yo. I just got a call from the surgeon, himself. Because I am still on steroids (at the end of the tapering dose), he wants to postpone the surgery 3-6 weeks to avoid risk of leakage at the staple/stitch sites and not increase the risk of infection. So they'll call today with another date. So Aug was postponed until Sept, Sept will postponed until Oct or Nov. I am ok. Still singing Que Sera, Sera. It all happens for a reason.
For everybody else having surgery this month, best wishes for complete healing!

Small victory I put on a medium top today and it wasn't too tight...yaaaaa me!!!!!????????????

Thank God I Finally made it in 5 slow months!! I am so proud, this morning it said 198.5 now tonight it says 199

Bought two tops today that were size 14/16. And a bra that is a 38DD. Funny that even though my boobs are way smaller that the cup went up a size. I've been losing a lot of inches lately rather than weight. My pants are loose. I think I'm ready for 18s. I didn't find any pants at Ross that I liked to try on though. So I will just have to take the victory on the tops.

1 hour and 30 minutes and I will be underway. Next time I log in I will be a post op patient been riding in a car over 4 hours already and won't be to.my destination for another half hour at least. .. so nervous I feel sick! Not so much worried about having surgery just the unknown of after. Please keep me in your prayers today

Well I don't know when I will have the time to get on a laptop, but anyone that is open to discussing their experience I would greatly appreciate it. I know a lot of people have been on this site a long time. But anyone in the group that enjoys telling their story please share and continue sharing because you are blessing so many people with you experience.

I hate my band. However, I appreciate the journey of having the band. I learned a lot about myself during this process.

Hi Rachel, my name's Janis (not Lucrezia, lol) Well, I'm supposed to be doing an all liquid diet, but have really been struggling...made it about 85%. I've managed to lose 25 lbs in the past few months, though and I'm doing just liquid this weekend. I'm excited and a little nervous, too. We're going to do great!!

Good Luck All!

Good luck to everyone today. Prayers are with you.

You are so right. Today I have been working in renewing my heart about this. I think I was also doubting my ability to do this, whether I desire this process. I am putting a lot of pressure on myself.

Hello everyone I just started reading the threads. Sounds like everyone is doing the damn thing. I hope to join you all very soon. My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 19th. I'm excited and nervous. I begin my pre-op this Friday. So I hope to have everything I need. I look forward to the discussions and support from you all. I truly need all that I can get..

Today is the day!!!! I am on my way to the hospital. I am excited to start a more healthy life. Asking for your prayers. Will keep my WLS family posted.

Well I was given shakes Protein Bars and pudding. But I can also have lean meats and veggies. Even with that I have been struggling. It's been super emotional for me. I want to do good, and I am worried about stress eating. I'm overwhelmed a bit.

I'm trying super hard.

I have my preop meeting tomorrow. I hope to get clarity about everything I need to do.

Hi there
Same with my Dr. My revision band to sleeve is scheduled for Oct 6. No pre-op diet for this girl too. Fast starting at 10pm the night before Surgery. Duh! I can do that! Wondered myself this question. Thanks for posting

Just had my surgery on Sept.5th at the OCC and am 5 days post op! I feel like I have so much energy at times and then have moments I need to rest. I haven't lost any weight yet and was told by another sleever she didn't in loose the first week. I do feel smaller so I am thinking I am loosing inches. I am getting used to dealing with the head hunger but so great full I have this tool where I can't eat. It's seems to be getting better everyday. Liquids are going down great too:)

My surgeon required 2 weeks of liquids. Today is day 2...I am soooo ready to do this. Looking forward to not being hungry all the time.

Yes it is! I'm trying to stay focused. I know I have it better than some, but I still need to be mindful. I have my preop appointment in the morning. I hope learn a lot.
