Good luck and I hope you can get a sugery date soon

My first visit is also on the tenth! Woot woot!

Hi everyone!! So, I am PO day 2. I'm tolerating liquids well as well as the Protein. So far, no nausea! I'm moving around a lot, mainly gas pain is rough and I am oh so bloated. No regrets; looking forward to the next stage. Only 3 teeeny tiny incisions, one being in my belly button, so it doesn't look much like I had surgery at all. Hope everyone else is doing well also

Note to IMLooznit - I am sure you have good intentions, but in my opinion, it doesn't help to get your messages full of "screaming" caps, admonishments, and shouted directions, all supposing "bad" behavior from people that you don't know. I am glad you were successful in your weight loss journey. Please leave others to find their own paths unless they specifically ask for help. I believe most members of this site understand the behavior changes that are needed. Sometimes (and hopefully most times) good decisions are made, but everyone is human. Success will look differently to many people as well. I believe this forum should be for useful information, moral support, friendship and perhaps gentle guidance and suggestions, not for shrieking mandates.

Well, in exactly 3 hours I will be arriving at my hospital to get prepped and ready for my sleeve journey.
Good luck to all my fellow sleevers today, tomorrow, and in the future. Wishing a speedy recovery to all and to all a good life...

Wishing and PRAYING for ALL of the NEWBIES going for surgery... THIS is your FIRST STEP! THE REST IS UP TO U!!!.. Literally, YOU are the one that has to FOLLOW THE RULES TO SUCCEED!!..... WIshing ALL of you the success........ DO NOT COME BACK in 1-9 weeks and say OMG I am gaining, you have GAINED the last 2-5-10-15 YEARS,.... YOU have been GIVEN the TOOL work with IT........ Drink YOUR Water, get in your PROTIEN. YOU did NOT gain this in a MONTH, DO NOT EXPECT to lose 50-250lbs in a WEEK!!!!..... if you follow the DIRECTIONS.......... YOUR body will shed the POUNDS~~~~.DO WHAT YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO DO!!!.... HOLLER IF I CAN HELP YOU..... REALLY ONLY SERIOUS HELP! STAY OFF THE SCALE........ Drink your water., get in your Protein and NO you CANNOT DRINK ALCOHOL, 4 weeks after surgery!!!!!!

I was sleeved sept 11th. Had my post op visit. Lost about 35lbs. I thought the doc's scale was lying! I know a lot of that was Fluid, I'm just glad to have started my journey to a healthy weight. I'm still struggling to get all the Water I'm supposed to be sipping. I also need to get a Protein Powder. In the meantime I'm gonna sip this water.
Speedy recovery to those who have gone, and good luck to those with upcoming surgeries.

Weight Loss surgery is NOT A MAGIC PILL. You will HAVE to follow the rules, you will not lose 25 lbs a week, you will GAIN and you WILL LOSE, but you have to give your body TIME to HEAL.... Get in your Water, and AS MUCH Protein as you can.. do not come back in 3 weeks and say when can i drink Alcohol...........etc... you either WANT to do this (lose the weight) OR you Really just THOUGHT you DID....... Holler if I can help you!!!!! DO NOT COME BACK IN 2 4 5 12 weeks and say YOU are GAINING, THERE IS NO WAY.... you are gaining...... you are not drinking your water....... COME BACK in a year and THEN CRY you have gained weight, if SO , YOU are the reason........NOT the surgery!!!!!!
Please if I can help ANYONE. Let me know, been there DONE THAT and some!!! ROCKING SIZE 8P... and FEELING & LOOKING WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must remember I was pushing out or Women's 18P

Hi, my surgery is September 26th, which is this Thursday! I am very excited and a little nervous but after "stalking" the forums, and reading all the testimonials, tips, and seeing great post-op pictures, I am more anxious to get the surgery over with so I can start my new life in a different body.
