Today is the day, heading to the hospital in just a bit. Being honest I am scared and anxious, but also excited. See you all on the other side!

Good luck Mage!!!

Today is my day too. I feel very calm. It is amazing what a few years of research, a year of prep, and a great support group can do to ease ones anxieties...

Best of luck to you all! I will update as I am able...

Hey y'all.

I'm home from the hospital. I only stayed one night. I started on liquids yesterday and am doing well with keeping down my water and protein. My doctor emphasized to make sure I get my water first to ensure no dehydration. I've spent the last two weeks on their high protein product and lost 15 pounds post op.

My surgery went really well. The doctor was very please with the procedure. I am more sore than yesterday and I feel like I have done 1000 sit-ups. I have some gas pain in my upper body and shoulder but it's getting better. I have several selections of protein. This morning I am having Isopure Grape Frost. For "lunch" I will have the Unjury chicken broth. Later today I will have hot chocolate (high protein GHP product) and the a bottle of Core Power. Having quite a variety will help. Also, not just regular water but using crystal light and having hot de-caf tea will provide more choices.

I'm definitely not hungry. I can't sleep in my bed yet. Laying flat is painful. So I slept in the recliner last night. My sweet husband slept on the sofa just to be near me to help me if I needed it.

It's going to be hard to get all the liquid in at first and my doctor said as much, but it will get better.

Good luck everyone. Y'all are in my prayers.

Sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, walk....

Day two pre op, down seven lbs!! I can't say I'm starving but my tummy sure is growling. I think its more cravings than anything. Does not help with a 5yr old wanting brownies and having to cook for my husband and mom n law. O well this is my choice and I feel its the right one. God bless!

My surgery is on November 20th!!! I am SO excited!!!! These two weeks of all liquids is kinda hard though. Lol!

I am 10 days post op as of today. I have lost 13 pounds since surgery, been on a stall for 3 days. Im ok with that though, I know when my body is ready I will keep on losing. I feel pretty good, hardest part for me i would say is the pre-op diet. But all of you who are barely at that point will make it through fine and soon we all will be sleevers! Good luck to you all!!! :)

Mine is on Nov. 26, after waiting in line for a year!! Surgery in Jerusalem, Israel.

A new beginning for us all! Good luck!
