OMG! no that's way to long. My surgeon told me to start it exactly a week from surgery. I know it will be a struggle but knowing that it has to be done or I can't have surgery will be my motivation.

I started mine. I'm on it for 2 weeks. The Vitamin with the shake thing makes me sick. Going on 3rd day and head hurts. Guess because I'm detoxing from carbs.. March 12th can't come soon enough.

Welcome to all the newbies...lol that was me less than 30 days ago. There are some tremendous mentors on this sight, folks who are months out and nearing their goal and a lot who like me are just slightly ahead of you time wise and will be happy to contribute whatever I can to your journey. I was sleeved march 7 and after a fairly rough weekend am now off pain meds and made my 60/60 goal yesterday of the first time. I told my husband it is like I have this alien inside now calling the shots and I have to learn how she communicates. But in less than 5 days we are doing pretty good together. Tomorrow I'm going to hit the treadmill and make the rest of my body mad. I will say all the emotions are completely normal, I was up a lot the last two nights prior to surgery and while I didn't really feel anxious or scared that was what it was. I'm happy to help anyway I can, feel free to hit me up if I can help. Best wishes to you all on your journeys!

Thanks so much! Congrats on your new journey!! I need people to look up to on this because I know us going to be difficult! Making good decisions when it comes to food is tough but necessary!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
