Best wishes today. I'll meet you on the losers bench later today!! Get ready to walk, walk, walk!

Best wishes!

Praying for each and everyone that is having surgery today.

I'm sitting at Mi Doctor Hospital waiting for my turn and listening to music on the laptop. I'm last to go in of the 4 of us here today. Leprechaun is first! The hospital is clean and the staff are super nice. I met with our surgeon Dr. Lopez and he was ready for questions but I told him Leprechaunmomma already had that covered and I'd get the answers from her, hee hee. Last night the broth and popsicles were like a buffet with soothing tea after. I don't feel deprived or very hungry at all. The popsicles were pureed cantaloup melon frozen on a stick , heaven to my tastebuds! I'm missing my family but loving this trip. Yesterday we sat by the fountain out front of the hotel and watched traffic. The breeze was light and cool and the sun felt great. I really want a palm tree but customs won't let me Good luck and best wishes on a speedy recovery to all of us going in today. I'll check back in after surgery.

Here is our tomorrow sleevers, Wishing you the very best and a good speedy recovery and a great surgical team.

I'm scheduled tomorrow with Dr. Yu in Houston, Texas. For some reason I show up on some lists and not on others. Anyway, good luck to everyone being sleeved tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the big day! Here's an update on where I am so far. I did the pre-op liquid diet for 3 weeks and lost 18 pounds. I admit it that I cheated by usually eating some Protein at night....the pre-op diet is SOOOO HARD!!! I went from 195 pounds to 177. I'm really hoping my new smaller tummy will make the post op diet a little easier! =) I want to get down to at least 140 pounds, but would love it if I could get down to 125-135 range. We'll see how well my new tool helps with that!

Not nervous at all, but I know I'm never going to be able to sleep tonight. Best wished to everyone that is having surgery tomorrow. Good Luck!

Good luck to all my fellow sleevers tomorrow. Wish you all the best!!

Good luck, everyone! I was sleeved August 21st. I had terrible gas pain in my shoulder the first day. After that, whenever it starts, I know to just get up and walk. So even if you feel achy, WALK!! It really does help!!

I still have pain on my left side where all the work was done, but each day it's a little better. What suprised me is that it really hurts to bend down, and to get up off the toilet. Those are my big 'ow's'.

Let us know how you all are doing!

omg i thought this day would never get here. August 28 th. Had lap band removed a few months ago. I am ready for my sleeve today surgery is in alma michigan

Thanks for words of wisdom from your experiences everyone

Goof luck today everyone!!!

Once again, cheers to all the peeps getting sleeved today! Here's to a new life, full of good health and energy and no more aches, pains, and meds (except for vitamins, lol)!!!

Here is our tomorrow sleevers' date=' Wishing you the very best and a good speedy recovery and a great surgical team.

Good luck to everyone!

Happy Tuesday everyone. I was sleeved yesterday by Dr. Alvarez. Was in surgery before 9. Have had no pain and shockingly no gas pains.... Yet. I did a little walking yesterday but it was so warm in the halls that it made me a little light headed. I have been sleeping a lot but I am fine with that. The staff here is so wonderful. Very attentive. I will be up and moving soon . How are the rest of the Monday sleevers doing?

So excited for everyone....almost the whole group is sitting on the losers bench. It amazes me that we all have the same surgery and such different stories. I know we will all lose at a different rate and those who start with a lower BMI usually?? lose slower. I guess when everyone else is losing high numbers its like why is that not me...Dang it! I am one pound away from 100 lb lost. But only 12 of that is really since surgery. I know I have done great and I feel fantastic. Just wanted those big numbers like everyone I keep reading about. My personal goal is 125 bls so I am only 45 lbs from goal. I think a realisitc goal to get there would be around Christmas time. I am going to keep doing what I do best and that is watching what goes in and what else I am doing to help me get there. I am two weeks post op today. My Dr said not physical fitness till first post op appointment which is for Sept 6. Today I am going to go and do a bit more school shopping...3 boys chomping at the bit for the rest of the supplies.

My energy level is good, but I know I am not getting all the fluids in, and tomorrow is the day to start eating food. I wonder the balance? More food better Protein or more Water the best bet. I know that I will get the answers I just need to continue to be positive and work hard.
