Hi all I was thinking of making a group with a group of ladies and gents who are all around the same time frame. I don't know about you but I tend to feel a bit list in being able to contact anyone and hopefully we can find a Buddy/s to bounce things off.

Good luck everyone, it's going to be a great week! How are you all feeling?

My surgery isn't until 9/23 - can I still join your group???

if you having surgery, I don't think it matters when your date is????

That's so close you can smell it!!

I have my endoscopy that day..

How's the pre op diet going?

1st few days were horrible... Lol headache, cranky, hungry. Once that passed I have been really good. I just think that I am soooo ready. I' been thinking about this seriously for 5 years, I went to this doctor 5 years ago and decided not to do the bypass because of my medical issues ( I have Ulcerative Colitis, ugh) now that the sleeve is a proven safe method I jumped back in. Started in May for my monthly visits and now I have 2 days left????. Aren't you just bursting with anticipation. I might actually be able to bend down and paint my toe nails by 2015!!!! Lol

good luck to all of you on this important life changing week. Keep us all updated!

My surgery is tomorrow 9/15/14. Started the liquid diet yesterday and had no idea how hungry I would be. I have two active kids that I was running around all day and the headache was crazy. Today is much better. Hanging around the house getting all the laundry done before tomorrow.

I'm 42 250 pounds and about 5'7. My goal weight for myself is 155. I would love buddies to keep in touch with as this journey begins!!!!

I only have to do the two days for pre op. I'm not going to lie it's not a good time. It's doable but be prepared to be hungry.

I'm all set for tomorrow too! Broth had been my lifesaver yesterday and today! I'll be checking in at 10:30 and surgery's at 12:30. If you're on Twitter, follow my journey @elaraye. I started tweeting yesterday:). Blessings to you...

I tried some premix broth from Costco yesterday and couldn't do it. I might add some water to it and give it a go.

My surgery isn't until 4pm tomorrow! UGH! So excited for you. I am not great at the twitter but I will have plenty of time tomorrow to look into it. Best of luck tomorrow!

i prefer homemade chicken broth over store-bought. i season it the way i like it.

and i learned today that my tastebuds do NOT like store-bought beef broth! Yuck!

Hi. I'm having the gastric sleeve surgery tomorrow! I'm excited and scared. I've been preparing since January 2014 due to health set-backs. I have all my supplements and protein drinks ready. I'm on the clear liquid diet prior to surgery and it's tough. I'm unusually hungry, but I'm not drinking all the protein I'm supposed to I guess. Does the hunger really go away after the surgery? Especially 1 week post-op when I have to do this clear liquid diet again?
