Hi! I just joined this site and have been through all the pre-op stuff and have a surgery date of Oct. 27th!! I'm currently on the liquid diet and so afraid I'm going to eat/drink the wrong thing and my liver won't shrink enough! lol I am SOO happy to see others having theirs done around the same time as me. I just don't know what to expect pain wise or recovery wise. I guess I'll keep reading the forums and asking questions

So, my office is having the ice cream social right now. I am hiding in my cubicle eating my little 2 cup salad. Ugh...

good job girl!!!

Hey ladies! No pain, no gas, no appetite.

I am itchy though, and been doing laps on my floor.

Wow, I am feeling overwhelmed with joy right now. I don't even know where to start. I read all the posts but can't possibly answer every one. But, but, I want to. So proud of all the girls who made it though surgery like only gladiators could. It is so fun to read your updates and how you are healing, feeling better, step by step facing your new life. All the rest of us are awaiting our turn and doing our diets like only gladiators can.

I want a pink Victoria Secret thing too. Actually, I want a bra as well. Imagine how it's going to feel trying one on and the size will fit. I hope I don't cry!

@@Beni , I hope I did that right.... anyway, thank you so very much! I've been reading the posts from the beginning and have almost all of them read. I feel like I know some of you pretty well by following your stories and your journey to where you are now. I'm excited, scared and READY! Ready to get my life back, one pound at a time! Jan

Me too. It gets to a point that enough is enough, right?

Our group has been going strong for a while. Everyone has contributed so much. We ask questions and support each other in a lovely way. We need each other especially because I feel like no one else knows what we are going through.

Oh! I forgot about the itchiness! I had that too at my last surgery. From the anesthesia, right?

[amylynns 802]

Welcome all the new ladies to the group!!

Beni has a spreadsheet of when everyone is having surgery and gives us a daily update.

Who's next Beni?

I just finished up day 9 on my liquid diet. I filled out my food journal through Sunday night. I've pretty much had the same exact thing (with popsicles and Jello varying each day, lol) every day! I have a real hard time getting in all 1000 calories, which is just crazy to me! But getting in a lot of Protein, so it keeps my full.

I had an amazing massage tonight. Aahhhhhhh. I need to see if I can sneak in a pedicure before Monday!!

Tomorrow morning at 8AM is my pre-op consultation appointment, then I see my surgeon at 9:30. Getting closer!!
