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!!

Still at hospital. Trying to get Fluids down is a struggle. I also have a slight fever. Hoping it goes away. :'(

Thinking of you.

Today was my last day at work before surgery! Took a vacation day on Monday so I can rest, get any remaining post op foods. (Ice pops, broth etc) and so i can pick up my 19month old as much as I can before I am not allowed to. I am so excited

I haven't felt nervous or scared yet. Maybe that will happen Tuesday on my way to the hospital. Omg I can't believe its almost here.

I got scared for a bit an hour before my surgery. I could feel my heart racing. Then, I thought of all I learned here, connections, friends at home and the rest is history.

You will do awesome

My name is Sherry, I was sleeved on Oct. 1st. Still in my full liquid phase... And hungry! 20 lbs down so far.

Done Did it Too! Got to my room after surgery around 5 pm. Pain is manageable with meds. I've only had one wave of nausea and that was after my walk and trip to the bathroom. Very hungry! I'm still NPO until morning. Oh what I would give for a Popsicle Well getting drowsy now so I will touch bases tomorrow.

Congrats Yeah I'm glad it's all done I will be joining you in a few days almost here.

Monday (the 15th) is my day!! I was so emotional and distracted over the past week to 10 days and suddenly yesterday....peace.

I now have a very calm center and am more sure than ever about my decision. I'm so looking forward to a good night's sleep and then I'm off to buy all the last minute things before surgery. I'll also have to get the house on order for the hubs and 3 little ones.

I'm sending my other "next weekers" some Zen vibes!!

Rough first night. pain med makes me nausrsus' date=' fluid makes me vomit. Sitting here staring at my "breakfast" trying not to vomit. Who knew chicken broth could be so greasy.[/quote']

((((Hugs))))) this too shall pass
