So happy everything went well with your surgery! Crazy to think we are considered post op!!!

I'm new to here and i'm so excited that i've got my surgery date of Sept 26th at 8am!! I did my blood work and chest x-ray yesterday. Monday I see the dietician to get everything set for the week of my liquid diet .

I first started this journey by going to a seminar on May 14th and can't believe my surgery day is almost here. Of course I researched about the surgery for about 2 years before so its been a long road with a light at the tunnel

Surgery Monday af 930am...very nervous about if i did my week long liquid diet correctly..... Everything i ate was (with the help of my "Ninja", was smooth and watery like instant potatoes) broth and protein shakes.. No solids or soda at all... But just to be on the safe side, i am doing clear liquids Saturday and Sunday.. Excited and nervous, i am so happy that my husband and kiddos are so supportive..

Just wanted to let everyone know i am alive!!! Feeling pretty good except my chest hurts so bad. Hopefully i will get to go home today.

I'm glad to know your doing well! I hope that your chest will feel better soon. It seems like its a common issue. I hope you can go home too. I go in on Monday and I'm hoping to be out wendsday. I'm so happy for u!

Ur lucky I go in Monday too but I have to be at the hospital by 530 surgery at 730. You can get more sleep I'm so jealous this is so surreal right now I've been waiting so long for this. I cant imagine being post op. I will keep you in my thoughts and pray for you.

I chewed the poo put of my lips when I was sleeping last noght mthere double in size and hurt so bad, guess I'm more nervous then I thought about surgery Monday. I thought I would be eating everything on sight today but just had a yogurt and could care less about the whole last meal affect. Man am I gunna miss my coke though.

I felt the same exact way!! I thought i would be eating a ton but my diet pepsi i miss dearly! I dont think i have as much as an emotional attatchment to food as most. My issue is not eating all day then eating a huge meal for dinner.

Hello everyone. I've been so busy this past week with work and being a wife and mom, that I've been reading, but haven't had time to comment much.

So, a big congratulations to all of you that had your surgery!! It's so great to hear from you and know you're doing well.

For those of us having surgery this week, yeah!!! I will be praying for you!!

For those of us having surgery in Monday, can you believe it's only one more day and a wake up?!?!

For the new September members, a warm WELCOME to you! I'm Maria and happy to have you as part of the family. Everyone here is so supportive. Looking forward to sharing this journey with you!

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Welcome Kimmy you are the day after me we will be recovering together! I will add you to our list

Lexi so glad you made it through! I was one of those people that put off the WLS for years because of my diet pepsi addiction! Then my know it all (always right to ) daughter made me quit soda 2 years ago. I was having god awful pains in my legs that no doctor could figure out why. 2 weeks after i stopped drinking any soda and replaced it with water those pains went away and they only come back if I drink a diet pepsi more then 2 in a week. so I usually just dont drink any soda at all. thats one hurdle I already crossed in this new way of life. now for caffeine!
