I know there is an October group here somewhere but I thought I would start this off by introducing ourselves!

I'm 25 years old and from British Columbia, Canada. My surgery is set for October 2. My pre op ensure shake diet starts September 2 but I have started a week early for a head start I am

A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

Congrats and good luck to all the Oct 1 sleevers who are kicking off Sleevetoberfest with a bang!!!!

I can't believe how many of my fellow OctoSleevers will be three or more weeks out from their surgery when I finally get mine on the 25th. I hope to join all you guys and gals on the losers bench soon. Happy losing!

I have to arrive at the hospital at 830a tomorrow. At least I will be able to send my kids off to school before I leave. I drank the magnesium about 3hrs ago and I've been shatting my brains out ever since. Gosh I pray that I will be able to sleep tonight and I haven't been able to trust a fart since drinking the magnesium :/

Only here on this site is that even understood...lol! I'm too tickled I don't have to drink mag b4 mines, thank goodness. I assume this two weeks of liquid only should clean us out B-)

I am up out if bed sitting in chair in room. Ready to walk but shifts just changed. I was able to urinate no problem at all. Pain is minimal more like discomfort. I have no had a drink and boy am I thirsty. I have leak test tomorrow.

I was just thinking about you and about to write a post "where is Chica?" Glad you are ok. Keep up the good work.

Thank you! I am feeling good relatively speaking minus the dry mouth!

I think i am going to hit the vitamin X tonight. Doing a lot of praying. Woeking and taking care of the kids keeps me busy.

I figured that might ruffle some feathers yes, I am glad to have something to chew. I'm on Optifast 800 & eat 5 meals a day. 3 have to be shakes but the other 2 can be bars. I am also allowed plain celery &/or plain cucumber slices if I need something else to chew. But I'll be in your same boat after the surgery...

YUM CUCUMBER! Wish I had one now

Yay so glad to see y'all are doing so well !!! I have mine on the 9th and I am totally wigging out right now !

Your not alone

Im on day 6 of my liquid diet and my mouth is sooooooo dry. I drink 2-3 protein shakes a day. Chocolate peanut butter protein powder shake. I add bananas and peanut butter for extra protein. But know that the reason my mouth is dry is cause of water. I need to drink alot more. Cant wait til the liquid diet part of all this is over and i can eat actual food again. I think this is the hardest part. My surgery is the 10th and as it gets closer. I get more nervous. It will be here before i know it.....
