got the call this morning that my check in time is 6:45 tomorrow AM. I cant believe its finally here. Im a nervous wreck and thrilled at the same time. Im already struggling with not being able to binge eat anymore... isnt that weird? Its like a death of a friend. I only had to be on liquids for a couple days and already Im having inner tantrums about it. :( I just pray that this passes and that I can be successful. Im so scared of failing.

So I had my surgery yesterday surprisingly I wasn't nervous or scared and It was over before I knew it, it only took my Dr. an hour to do my sleeve which I thought would take longer. Today they started me on step one diet tomorrow advancing me to step 2 but other than the severe gas im doing ok. Hope everyone else surgery went well and have a quick and safe recovery

I am ready for August 26th!! I have been on a preop diet since June 20 and have lost close to 30# so far. I will have Clear Liquids on the 25th along with a doctor visit. So ready to have this done. Am a little nervous but know it will be better on the other side. Let me know if 26 is your day and we can try and be surgery buddies.

I was sleeved on the 18th...three days ago. Got home yesterday and am in really good shape! Getting all of my fluids in and Protein requirements is not easy, but not hard either. I'm doing this to be healthy, and hey,,,,if I gotta get those 90 grams of protein in, then I will. Premier shakes have been a life saver with 30g per shake. Three of those a day, along with sipping no cal gatorade the rest of the time, and I'm doing really well!

Went out for a wee wobble walk today and will go further tomorrow.

Me too, Urban -- we're VSG twins (August 18).

I'm done, did it, and am going fine.

Have been home two days. Sipping, walking, slurping, napping.

I know we'll have our ups and downs, but this was the right thing to do.

I'm feeling great about it.

Surgery is on Monday (25th) and I have my preop tomorrow. Im so nervous something may stop it. I don't think I'll believe this is real until I wake up from surgery!

I had my band to sleeve revision done on the 20th. Having a heck of a time moving this gas, even with all the walking but I'm feeling good, very minimal pain, and hoping I get to go home tomorrow.

Hope you are all doing well!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
