@@peekaboo I'm not measuring like u should be lol but I'm supposed to be doing 1oz of sipping over 20 min. Since I came out of surgery I was able to sip an oz in about 5 min if I paced myself .. Now I'll sip every minuet or so ... Small frequent sips.... I am getting really tired of water though

I have been changed to the 7th of Oct!

Good luck everyone. I will try to post after my surgery on Tuesday.

My surgery is tuesday as well!

@@peekaboo starting tomorrow I can have my protein!!!!! I cannot tell you how excited I am lol ... For now since surgery I've only been allowed, clear liquids, water, diet snapple, hot or cold tea without sweetener and crystal light .... And on that list all I like is water so needless to say I am BORED! Lol

had surg oct 1. today i walked around the neighborhood and enjoyed the foliage. my protein shakes taste awful wheni mix the meds i got prescribed but oh well. about to try some chicken broth. had a lot of energy since surgery, today i also went and helped my nephew shoot pucks at the garage. i really dont feel much pain at all except for the feeling in my belly like i just did 2000 situps. i think thats due to a hernia repair more than the sleeve. still havent touched the oxy i got prescribed, prolly just throw it into the trash tomorrow. one thing i must admit that is weird is watching football and seeing all these commercials for pizza and kfc and stuff and being like "damn, i cant touch any of that" haha

@@tardis76 haha! I feel your pain... My family went to Olive Garden while I stayed home last night and the night before they had pizza and wings ???????????????????????????????? ahhhhhh!

Vetteck

I'll be thinking about u on Tuesday. Well wishes.

Good luck tomorrow. Are you nervous? Mine is Oct 14th. I noticed you are the same height as me and have the same goal weight. How did you choose it? I checked a bmi chart and figured what I needed to weigh to be in the normal category
