I'm Dec 31st! 16 more days... I guess I'll be the last of the December group and 2014. I am so very ready. Since I'm the last of the group, I'll benefit from all you other December folks and your stories / advice.

I have to say, I am so proud of each one of you for making this hard, life-changing decision. This is a commitment to a new life. And, unlike some people say, this is NOT the easy way out. It will have ups and downs... and we will endure and make it to the other side where we will be happy and healthy. We will love life! Congratulations to us all. We deserve this. It's a Christmas gift to ourselves. Blessings to each of you!

Thank you for your sweet words of encouragement. I will have to admit I have had some very low points this last week. Its a very difficult but truly rewarding transition. From two weeks pre-op to today. I have lost 41 pounds and already feel so much better. Proud of you too for making this life changing decision as well.

I got my sleeve on December 1st, I just hit two weeks post op!

I am scheduled for surgery on December 18 in philadelphia. I'm getting a little nervous. Good luck to everyone

December 29th. Woohoo!

My surgery date is tomorrow (Dec. 16th). Im nervous, scared, excited, and happy all at the same time. I just pray and hope that the surgery and my recovery goes well. Good luck to everyone on their weight loss journey.

Hope everything went well with your procedure.

I'm the 30th!

@@WRIGHTLE Yes my surgery was on Monday, December 15th. Just 3 days post op. I'm struggling with my liquids. Hopefully it'll get better soon. The trapped gas is horrific for me and nausea. I vomited (sorry for the tmi) horribly as soon as I got to my room after my procedure. I've had issues with nausea coming in waves ever since. I also vomited a bit today.

I noticed that I'm very particular with smells and textures of foods right now. Hopefully it's because my stomach is a little weak right now. The only thing that's somewhat agrees with me is warm tea, crystal light, and Popsicles. Lol. I have this Isopure drink from the vitamin shoppe I'm using to try to get some protein in, but one bottle has lasted me three days, lol.

MyssJones, I survived the first five days on broth and red popsicles.... make sure you're walking - walking - walking... it helps with the pain. Sipping CONSTANTLY on water, juice, broth... you'll get your fluid in. Talk to your doc about some nausea meds, though - I can't imagine the pain of heaving.

FWIW, 7 days out I felt SO MUCH BETTER.

MyssJones thanks for sharing your experience with me. I hope that things get better soon for you

@@scstxrn thank you for your advice. Today marks the first day I'm able to constantly sip without feeling intense gas pain. So that's a win today! Although I fear I'm a bit dehydrated because (tmi) urine is very dark. So I'm really going to give liquids my best shot today.
