My name is Alycia and I have surgery tomorrow 3/16/10. I can't wait I had to start the clear liquids thursday so this is day 5 and I am SOOOOOO hungry my head is pounding but I keep telling myself it's so worth it. I'm excited and nervous all at once and can't wait for the journey ahead and a new start in my life. I'm currently at 282 minus the 9 pounds I've lost in the last 5 days.:thumbup:

Welcome Alycia.

Good luck tomorrow and keep that positive attitude!

Yes WELCOME from me too a newly banded member , each step becomes easier after completing (after surgery ) i week on liquids I was so excited and keen to go on Mussies after 2 weeks on musshies I was extra excited to start real food again , I had my first meal tonight and it was WONDERFUL...small but filling ...

YOU CAN DO IT !! just follow all the guidlines your dietition gives you and you will be fine ....

Best of Luck for tomorrow and the journey to your new life.....

Welcome from me, too! I'm still pre-op, another month to go- I'm envious of you sooner! Let us know how things go for you, OK?

Hello,

I had my surgery last Monday (3/8). Things are going quite well. I am still in my liquid phase but its okay. I am not nearly as hungry as I thought I would be. Good luck on your surgery!

Thanks eveeryone for the welcomes. I got home from the hospital todayu and boy am I sore but I am trying to walk as much as possible and know this pain will eventually subside. I can't wait til it does either.

Hang in , I did a lot of sleeping the first 3 days and by then the sorness was all but gone....

Congratz again ...and Good Luck with your journey....
