Super fatty

My liquid is going, not fun. I usually go to bed early with a growling stomach, but I'm surviving. How about yours?

I'm feb 18 and mine starts the 4th. I'm trying to not be anxious. I'll probably do like u and hit the hay early. You guys on the 3rd are heading up our February group. Definitely gonna have to keep us updated so we'll not only have encouragement, but we'll know what's "normal" lol

Shout out to all my fellow-FEB 3-ers: It's 4:30 a.m. now in L.A. and in EXACTLY ONE WEEK my alarm clock will be buzzing so I can check in for surgery at 5:45 a.m. It's official: I'm nervous now. :0(

Hey Charlieblue - I got super nervous this weekend too! Someone asked me about pain relief post op and I hadn't even thought about it!! I also got on the scales after a week of Optifast and had lost 4.5kgs... and then I thought maybe I can just do that instead of surgery. But I had a reality check after putting away the groceries and remembered how easy it is to just give in to old habits.

Would be great for all of us February 3 sleeves to keep updated on progress post op!!

Ps anyone still waiting to tell family/friends? I've told my close friends and my sister... But still to tell my parents. Planning to do it this weekend before my op, but just hate the thought of having the convo... I would much prefer to do post op, but my sister (not a fan of the idea) wants me to do it before hand. I'm not overly worried about their approval but my mum is a drama queen and won't be able to keep it to herself. I'd just rather keep this decision to myself and not widely public.

Anyone had similar experiences? How open are you all being with your choice to have surgery?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
