This is my luggage all packed and ready for my Mexico sleeve adventure with Dr Illan. It's been laying there since last Wednesday but I never got to Mexico. My house/pet sitter had a family emergency and so I had to cancel.

I was so bummed I haven't even been back to this forum until now. I would have been sleeved last Saturday and coming home tomorrow.

To make matters worse I can't even re-book straight away. I'm becoming a US Citizen next week and cannot leave the country without a US Passport so it's going to be another 2-3 weeks. I know I sound whiny but I had worked myself up to this for several weeks, I had been on a liquid diet for a week too so this just threw me for a loop.

Anyway, that's my vent out of the way, I will be more cheerful from now on I promise !!

I could murder some fish and chips right now

I allegedly have the best fish and chip shop across from my house. However and unfortunately, it's 03:30 am and I don't think they do fed-ex. Is the fish and chips no good over there?

Sponge.

Sponge.

Lol love it

Oh dear, where do I begin .... in a word NO

I do like fish and chips, which are really fries, cuz crisps are chips.

Leslie.. LOL, laughing aside, chin up my dear... In a few short weeks you'll be joining us on the thinner side.

Hang in there

I am bummed you didn't make it either, missed my sleeve buddy! I got home last night and had to work today, a little weird but I am adjusting. Just hard to figure out what to eat now since its liquids only for a bit! I feel better than I thought I would

Leslie,

Would you be staying at the Marriott? If so, try for surgery on the 22nd November and you can walk the halls with a fellow Brit ????. Hope all works out for you

That really stinks Leslie Im sure even more than some of the lovely treats that have been discussed on this topic (hilarious BTW). With all of the emotional buildup to surgery day, I know it is devastating for it not to have happened the way you wanted. Keep your chin up and reschedule with a backup plan for your pet. Pick a cool date that has some significance in your life. Doing the whole preop diet only got you even closer to your goal weight and will help with your recovery!

- I know !! I really missed seeing you too !! - I'm so sorry that I wasn't there as support as well like I said i would be. But you sound really well !! - it must feel so strange to be having to think on what you can eat or drink right now, but you know in a few days it will be second nature to you. I bet you're not even hungry are you !! I'm hoping to book for November. Hey keep in touch and let me know how you're doing - really glad you're all sleeved and through the stressful time of waiting !!

Leslie,

November 22nd could be quite doable for me, but I would be at The Lucerna Hotel and florence hospital - what hospital will you be at ?

Thank you so much - I'm glad you got a giggle out of our silly postings - it got way out of hand but I know we did really have a good laugh the other night !! - That's a good idea about picking a date of significance - will have to give that some thought.

Leslie, I'm at MiDoctor with Dr. Elias Ortiz and staying at the Marriott
