Just wondering if South Carolina Sleevers are out there? We can support each other. Blessings!

Did you get enough calories and proteins? I had some nausea and dizziness and found that I was not drinking enough. Hope you feel better. Hang in there! Blessings!!!

Beachbum - I wonder if that's part of what's going on inside the body. Remember, we are pushing it to starvation mode.

I also had to share that I saw a recent picture of myself for the first time since surgery. What did I notice, out of all the changes?

My eyes! I don't remember the last time I could see my eyeballs! Usually there was too much fat in the eyelid and below squishing them out of view. So to me it looked like I had "crazy eyes", when in reality it was just normal!

Weird.... Just had to share.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. It was because I was dehydrated in the mornings - my blood pressure medicine has a diuretic in it and I was taking it at night and believe that was what was causing me to be nauseous in the a.m. - I switched it to daytime and no more problems! I'm one week and one day out today - starting to get a little panicky but have pre-op appts with hospital tomorrow and final meeting with Dr. Antonetti on Thursday so it's full speed ahead!

Beachbum) how r u?

Doing pretty well - finished with everything and just in countdown mode now. Found out this morning at appt with surgeon that I have a hernia that will be repaired in conjunction with my sleeve also. Must be a SC thing : ) -

I had lost a total of 36 lbs since 1st of April - 10 lbs in 2 weeks on the pre-op diet! How are you doing?

Im doing good have lost 21lbs in 3weeks on liquid diet. I have one more weigh in tuesday. I pray I dont gain any by tues. Im counting down the days also.

(Beachbum) Good luck on this week please dont forget to keep me informed. Do u have a facebook page?
