So I do not want anyone to think that I am not taking this seriously because I by far am SO SERIOUS!!!

With that said, I want to know if you think it will cause any issues if I go out to Celebrate my birthday tomorrow? The instructions I recieved at scheduling was midnight the night before to fast and I could have my bariatric shake the morning of surgery but only mixed with Water. My current pre-op diet consist of salad plate sized meals with 1/4 Protein, 1/4 carb, & 1/2 fresh/frozen fruits/veggies, and one Meal Replacement shake. Standardly I have my shake for Breakfast, no lunch, and a carbless dinner. Just my choice.

If I go out tonight and have a few drinks and mexican food, is it going to kill everything I have been working towards?

My surgery is scheduled for Monday 3/3 11:50a

Happy Birthday to you!

I view being sleeved like getting married and right now we're all engaged. We are all making plans, doing tons of research, making purchases in preparation for our big day! Weddings and marriages are beautiful and people enjoy attending but most times the guest or attendees doesn't realize the bonafide hard work, sweat, tears, and sacrifices you've made to make this dream wedding come true they only see the finished product. Having weight loss surgery is the exact same. Think about it we spend hours upon hours on line, reading books, talking to people we know and those we don't in an attempt to learn all we can to yield the greatest success throughout all phases of this WLS journey, we're making purchases to ensure we have everything we need, and most of all we are getting our minds right as there's no magic at the alter nor is it in the operating room.

With all that said our sleeves will be our tool and just like a marriage you tend to get out of what you put in it. That's not to say the journey will always be easy as there will be struggles and bumps along the way but take your time and enjoy the journey. March 3rd and on ward in good times and stalls embrace your sleeve because if you hang in there long enough you will reap the rewards of all your hard work. You got this finish strong. I think many times we don't realize our lives aren't over we're being granted a new start you will be able to Celebrate future birthdays and enjoy the things you love on your special day just a lot less of it. Whatever you decide to do there's no judgement ever here as we are all striving for the same goal. HANG IN THERE YOU GOT THISSSSSS!!! Lol

I hope you had a great birthday celebration! Good luck with your surgery today!
