I'm scheduled for 2/6/14. Who else is getting sleeved in February?

LindsayHeth I am exactly where you are, but am afraid to weigh myself ! I am afraid no weight loss will discourage me.

So, I am hoping my body is not letting me down.

It's all down hill from there ladies, I am on my last 12 hours and I am down 20lbs in 15 days from the liquids. So tomorrow morning is D day. Stay strong in the end it will be worth it. Cheers to you both you can do it. Prays are with you both.

Thank you! Congrats! You are almost there! Keep up the good work and keep me updated on how it's going for you!

Thanks and sure thing I will keep you posted.

Morning all- day 6 in recovery. 10 pounds down (after gaining 5 after surgery). It's crazy, I would have had to bust my butt and diet hard for well over a month to drop that amount. Kind of ready to move on to more solid food, but thrilled that this process is working. Gas pains almost gone, but still swollen in abdomen area. Good luck and blessings to all going into surgery today!

i was the same - lost 8lbs the first week, then barely lost a pound or 2 the second week even thought i stuck to the diet! Tonight is IT! last night before losing half my stomach! lol leaving for the hospital 6am tmw morning!

Wahoo! You're almost there!

Well I did it! I finally braved the big bad scale this morning after 5 days into the pre-op diet....i was pretty sure I had lost no weight on the high protein liquids...just felt bloated and fat. But guess what? I have l lost 6 pounds!! Not sure where it came off but now I am stoked!! Woo hoo! The protein shakes are not looking so bad now!

Getting all checked in for surgery!!! A little nervous now!! It is definitely real now and happening eeeek!!!

Yes! Great job dignity! You'll be through this so quickly. The last week goes fast and slow all at the same time. Keep it up!

Wow, I am glad to say I am back among the living. The surgery on Feb. 10th kicked my butt big time. I ended up staying in the hospital and extra day due to having so much lung congestion. I was on breathing treatments around the clock and I was in a lot of pain. I came home last Thursday and each day has shown significant improvement. I started on the full liquids on Sunday and that made a tremendous difference. Of course my appetite came back so it was much easier to get the fluids and shakes down. I had 6 incisions and all are doing well except for one which is very very painful. I keep having sharp cutting pains when I move quickly or try to pull my self out of the recliner or bed. Other than that I now feel terrific and I have started walking my 30 minutes per day. I am going back to work tomorrow. For all of those about to have surgery, don't worry, you can do this. The first few days I kept thinking WTH have I done to myself but now on my 1 week anniversary... I feel positive and motivated. Life is good. Janet

1Day, glad to hear from you. So glad you're doing better each day. Mines tomorrow so you gave me some encouragement.
