Ok, I am at the hospital and having surgery in a little over 12 hours! I am so nervous but super excited. You guys have been an amazing help and I will continue writing on here. I think I may be able to check in before my surgery.

I am so happy for you JeepChickie! I am supposed to be sleeved on the 19th! Can't wait! Keep up the speedy recovery!!!!

Yippy Ready2BHealthy, 3 more days and you'll be on our side!

Congratulations JeepChick! Glad to hear you are doing well. Remember...walk, walk, walk, sip, sip, sip, repeat.

YAY YAY I'm so glad to hear all went well. Update when you can, and like Linda said, sip, walk, repeat. . .

I am home now. I just can't get myself to drink 200ml (2/3 of a cup) of protein drink at a time. I am too full. I am sipping lots of water and I feel good about that. I am so happy to be on the other side of this. I just hope everything continues to go as smoothly.

I did share a room in the hospital with a lovely woman from New Zealand who wanted to get the gastric bypass. I think the dr. roomed us together on purpose because he wanted her to go with the sleeve instead. She changed her mind to the sleeve and gets hers done on Monday. Maybe she will join this site as I showed it to her. The hospital experience was a bit of a language barrier sometimes because my Korean is not as good as it should be, but everyone was so helpful. The Dr. himself spoke perfect English and done seminars at Harvard.

Wow,, way to go JeepChick!!! You are in Korea?,, wow,and I have been complaining about it being cold here in Houston...

Please keep us informed on how you are doing, I hope post op isn't as hard as dieting pre-op.. I am 6 days of preop diet, lost 13 lbs, but lacking any energy.. My Doc told me to have something every 2-3 hours to help keep my blood sugar consistant. Makes sense.... Hope your having a great weekend!

Hi Jeepchick

So you are home, GREAT!!! Nothing feels better than being in your comfortable surroundings!

I still struggle getting enough fluids in, I have to make sure I drink them when I'm not going to eat anything. I have found that drinking Water in the morning before any food is easy. The energy drinks to me are not easy to get down, I poor them over ice it helps.

Keep up the good work!!
