It will be hard, very hard but at least i know that something good is coming... cant wait to loose those lb's... thinking abt loosing/being healthy, makes it much easier for me not to cheat.

My gas pains and hunger have gotten so much better. I switched to spiru-tein protein shakes. Less fiber, more protein. The cookie dough flavor is so good.

9 more days people!!!

Any of my post op sleevers having constipation problems???? Ugh! I have taken milk of magnesia 3 days in a row and nothing!!!! Help!

Doing good! I've only took a bite of something once but I actually don't mind the shakes right now. Where are you from? Kentucky here m

newbie here scheduled tomm 8/19

Feeling depressed just left my doctors office for my last visit he told me I had to lose 50 pounds before he would do the operation

Wow.... Was that not something they addressed early on? I had to loose 5#, but had 6 mo notice (and waited til the last week, of course) I know there was a girl through my surgeon who had to loose 50-60 but had the same amt of notice. Hang in there. Frustrating but your time will come!

Well, tomorrow is the big day and I get to be the first patient of the day for my Dr. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. I am so ready to start this new chapter of life. Yes there has been nerves and second guessing but in the end, I know I am making the right choice. I have lost around 23 pounds during my pre op diet and I am slowly starting to feel a difference already. All my chores are done, yard is mowed and I have made arrangements for someone to mow for me next week. Now it is time to sit back, relax, enjoy some lime Jello, chicken broth and water (I am on clear liquids only today), and get ready. Good luck to all my August 19th surgery mates! I hope and pray that we all have flawless procedures followed by minimal pain and discomfort! Speedy recovery to everyone. Now bring it on!!!

Im tommorrow too but now I am so nervous!

It was he told me to lose the weight but I didn't I thought he would still go through with the surgery but he said it's not safe so I gotta lose the weight I made my bed now I have to lay in it

I'm scheduled for the 26th. Getting nervous!

Good luck!
