_{This is my first post. I will be sleeved on Tuesday' date=' January 8, 2013. I feel well prepared and am not nervous but excited. My surgery is covered by insurance and having it performed by Dr. Eagon, St. Louis Missouri. I am down 11 pounds from my October 2012 appointment. I am using fitbit one to track my sleep, exercise, and calories in and out. I found Propel Water to be amazing. I'm not much of a water drinker and finding this water has been a key to helping me get my fluids in. I will drink my first New Whey liquid protein to see how I like it. It has 42 gms of protien, 0 grams of sugar, 2 grams of carbs in 3.8 oz of fluid. I'm having difficulty finding out how to post from my ipad/iphone app. I can see all posts and did reinstall the app in portrait. I have told a handful of people that I am having this surgery but am reluctant to share with most as I'm a bit embarrassed that I couldn't lose this weight on my own and am not looking for anyone's negative opinions about the surgery. Preop weight: 241 Goal: 150[/sub']}

_{I am committed to following all the rules post op and jumping around on my calories in so that I can "trick" my body into not stalling much. I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts and journeys as it has helped me develop my own plan as I get ready to be sleeved. Thank you EVERYONE!! I would like to buddy up with a woman who was sleeved in 2012 and weighed approx. 240 pounds pre-sleeve and would share this journey with me.}

_{God Bless you and praying thay you have a speedy recovery! Im from the Stl and having my surg today!!}

On my way to the hospital!

Thinking about and praying for all who are getting their sleeve today! Good luck and best wishes!

Good luck today everyone. It's weird to think I will be there in 1 week. Check back and let us know you are doing well.

Sarah,

We are sleeve buddies!! I too am 1/8 & around the same starting weight. How tall are you? We may have to have a friendly competition

Best of Luck to you!!!

Hey there. I'm 5'5. How tall are you? Let the competition begin

Good luck to everyone going in this week. I'm on my clear liquids for today. Surgery tomorrow. As of this AM I am 338 down from 351 right before I started my 2 week liquid diet. I have to say I already feel so much better after only losing 13 lbs. I can't wait to see less of me over th coming months. I love to go hiking in the spring and haven't been able to do so for a couple of years now. This year I'm tearing up the trails!!

Congrats to all of you having surgery today. Your in my prayers and I hope all goes well. I have two days until surgery and am getting nervous/ excited.
