Well, it has finally arrived...surgery in t minus 15 hours I will walk into the hospital to take control of my life. That's right "MY Life"...I am determined to reclaim what is mine!!!

In all honesty - a little jitters and nerves but otherwise ready to get the show on the road. I can not thank everyone on this site enough for all of the honesty, information, encouragement, etc. I have made a few new friends as well to go through this journey with.

When I wake up tomorrow afternoon (fully wake up ) I will be sitting on the official losers bench. As exciting that is, that will just be the beginning of my journey to a healthier me. Another month of liquids to mushies to testing out new flavors and tastes.

So here is a big hug for everyone having surgery tomorrow and best wishes for a safe and speedy recovery. Looking forward to moving on with "MY Life"

I am scheduled for tomorrow as well. I'm so happy to finally have the opportunity to transform my life. I wish you the best of luck!!!!

Cheers to a healthier, happier, sexier, chicer NEW US!!!

Good Luck~!

That's awesome! Congrats to you!

I want to wish the both of you the best. I hope both your surgeries move smoothly and your recovery is as speedy as can be. Congratulations on reclaiming "your" life. Please keep us updated on your experiences. Thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Don't be nervous. I was sleeved two weeks ago and I have lost 18 pounds. The surgery is not bad at all. If you get nauseated after surgery ask the nurse to bring you some alcohol wipes and fan them in front of your nose...it takes away being nauseated. Crunch and suck on ice chips!

The third day of surgery you will think....what in the hell was I thinking! You will feel tired and want to sleep on the third day. Each day gets better! And when you jump on that scale and your down.......it will kick in. Your brain will no longer think about food like you use to. It is amazing. Be sure and get that 65 grams of protien in with your protien shakes. Be sure and sip, sip and get up and walk around. You can have sugar free popcyles, sugar free pudding, sugar free jello. Tomatoe soup, creamy or classic. They have a new Campbell's Tomatoe soup parmesan creamy bisque...YUM!!!! Also, after a week, get some Idahoan potatoe mix (find with micaroni mixes) add water and make a semi thick potatoe soup....eventually you will not have to add so much water and can make them a little thicker. You will do just fine. You will enjoy your new life and all this will behind you in less than a week. - Addison

Hi, my husband is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I am so glad we found this forum, it really does help to read other people are feeling exactly how he is. He did a liquid diet for 18 days and today just clear liquid. We are super excited and nervous for tomorrow. I love him so much and im thankful he is taking charge of his life God willing everything goes as planned for him and for all of you scheduled for tomorrow. God bless you and you will all be in my prayers!!!
