Hey, everyone! I just wanted to post something for a couple of reasons, one) this website has been super helpful the past few days, teaching me things I didn't even know I had to know, and giving me tips about things I wouldn't have even thought about. two) I just found out a few hours ago what time I have to be at the hospital tomorrow and for the first time since I found about about my date, I actually feel pretty nervous! But that might just be the anxious side of me trying to take over. Either way, good luck to everyone else going in tomorrow!

Good luck!!!! I wish mine was tomorrow! I have 3 weeks to go!!

Congrats! I consider that a nice surprise. You will do splendidly.

Good luck. And mine is next week. How did u get thru the 9 day liquid diet? Today was my first day and I missed meat really bad. I could not even drink 4 of the shakes. Tomorrow wil be better. I never imagined the " head games" I would play with my self. Is this the hardest part? I hope so. Well 8 days now.

Good luck to all of you. I am 5 days post op and doing fine. Its a great joirney. I'm not going to weigh myself until my 2 wk post-op visit to the Dr. They pump a lot of fluids into you and it can hang around a bit.

Good luck tomorrow! Nerves are normal, but you will do fine. Let us know how you are doing as soon as you feel up to it.

I had to do mine for two weeks at three shakes a day, and it was really hard! I won't lie and say I didn't slip up here and there, but it was always tiny because anything more than a bite of something I knew I wasn't supposed to be having made me feel guilty but my head was totally more crazy than I thought it would have been but it got a lot easier I think as the days went on! The shakes got a little worse though, I was starting to just get sick of the taste after a few days but I found that adding more or less Water or ice really helped with that. Good luck though! Keep busy! I think if i kept a little more busier than I did it would have been ten million times more easier.

Congrats! You'll do great!

Good luck- prayers to you and everyone else that has surgery tomorrow! Aren't you so excited???

I'm also going to surgery in less than 6 hours. I am a nervous, scared, excited wreck if that makes any sense. I made the choice to be open about my surgery . Shocker of the day my boss tried to stage an intervention and encourage my coworkers to try and talk me out of it at the last minute. I was too thru! I know he means well but respect my decision. Goodluck we can track our results together

What???? Who does that??? You seem to have a great attitude about it, though, so that is good.

I know you will do splendidly. Sending light your way.

Thank you its been a rough 3 days but I am officially sleeved. The day after was the worst but now things are off to a great start. If you listen to only one thing you have been told about recovery Walk Walk and Walk some more. Your body will thank you for it.
