Hey all.... Some of us figured it would be easier to buddy up so that we could follow each other through the process from here on out.

I'm scheduled for surgery on Sept 8th and I start my liquid diet on Sept. 1st. Everything happened so quickly after my last NUT appt. yesterday..... I am feeling a combo of nerves and excitement. I have to get labs done tomorrow morning, I see my surgeon on Thursday, and I have my pre-op next Tuesday.

My husband has taken a few days off work to be with me and I have started making a list of things I need before the big day.

......... I can't wait to be on the losers bench.

Do you buy the BA online or in a store? I am about to run out.

So.... It has been 3 weeks post op. How is everyone doing?

I have heard sooooo much about the 3 week stall that I have decided to put my scale away starting tomorrow... Just for about 1.5 weeks. I am one of those ppl who will stress over not seeing it move.

I actually get my BA from my Dr's office, but it's the same price online.

I am so happy to announce that I put my scale away this morning.... After getting on it of course. I am a everyday weigher and I have decided not to get back on the scale for 2 weeks. So I "hope" I can stick to it. I figured this would be the perfect time because of the "3 week stall" talk among the boards.

I just hope that the scale moves a little while I'm on hiatus.

I feel like I am finally on the road to recovery.

Glad you are feeling better... I can't even imagine what you had to go through.

As of today I'm down 30lbs!

Hey guys! I've been having nausea really bad for about a week and I'm thinking my stomach wasn't ready for soft foods yet so I switched back to full liquids for now. I have a really sensitive stomach to begin with so I'm okay with it as long as I don't feel so sick! As of a few days ago I've lost 22 pounds total, woohoo!

I'm 15 days post op and down 13 pounds. I have just started walking today. I have fibromyalgia So I hurt a lot. But I got in about 30 mins today. Still not getting all my protein. I'm dui.g great with my eating. I'm pretty much back to regular foods. I can hold about 4 bites.

That's awesome you guys.... Congrats!!!

I hope everyone is still doing well.

I wanted to share some progress.
