Just got my date Jan. 6th!! Seems far away but it will be here soon!

Wow I leave in 5 days and surgery is in 6. I'm def not hungry anymore and I'm grateful cause it will make the last week of this pre op diet that much more easier. I'm so happy that we are all having our surgery this month, I will be going to the post op forum once my surgery is done and hope that you guys are there and keep us all updated on your progress. I will admit that I'm seriously tired of the protein shakes and will be glad when I do not have to drink them anymore. Its getting old quick and I just want to eat something that is not sweet and maybe something that is more bland to be honest.

@@Veronica Page - shakes? I'm soooo over them! Gag down 2 a day and am so glad when it's over. I haven't been hungry for days either! So glad. Makes all the difference. Leave for surgery Thursday! Wahoo! What thread is happening for us post op? I don't want to lose contact with anyone!

Any one January 10 Juarez ????

@@BusyHoosierMom - yay!! It's so close. All feeling very real. I'm down 18lbs and the scale hasn't budged in a WEEK! that's annoying but I'm well past my requirement so I'm not concerned. I'm not hungry and haven't been for several days. Food smells good still, but my body isn't asking for it. I'm def low on energy but besides that, doing good! Hoping to lose a tad more before fri. See you THERE!!

I'm doing some last minute prep for the trip. I arrive in SD around 10 am Thursday and planned it that way to get pre-op done. Looks like pre-op will be Friday morning instead. I guess that's fine because I can at least have liquids while I travel. I'm right at 3lbs under goal but what if their scale weighs a little heavier than mine? Maybe it's silly to worry about that. I'm down a total of 35lbs since I started my at loss program with my former surgeon. My liver should be in good shape. I'm praying that after surgery I don't feel hungry and am able to stay hydrated and nourished enough to go back to work after a week.

Getting excited and looking forward to having some "chill" time during recovery at the hotel. I don't get much of that with 4 kids and a FT job. ????

As the date quickly approach I am getting excited. I went for my pre-admission testing yesterday. My husband is so supportive of my decision to do this procedure he drove me around yesterday. Life is good.

We'll make it a point to make a Post Op January Sleevers thread so we can cheer each other on. I can't wait to here how everything went for everyon. Makes me super excited when you guys succeed!

@@BusyHoosierMom - I'm sure your liver is in fine form! We all lose differently and I doubt when you arrive fasting Friday morning, the scale will give you any trouble. I understand the worry though! xx

I'm starting to get nerves, just a tad and really hope I don't have to wait all day for surgery! I booked in August so hoping I got in line early?? I have no idea honestly! How did you hear about pre op? I haven't heard anything related to a schedule Friday, except to be there by 7am.

We arrive in San Diego at 4pm, so hopefully to the hotel by 5-530? Do you have any companions traveling with you?

Here at the Marriott hotel in Tijuana. Intake wasn't too bad. Go in tomorrow at 6:30a for surgery stuff.

@@Zzzombrie - what's intake?

Relaxing at the hotel in San Diego. My driver will pick me up at 930 in the morning to take me across the border for pre op work up then surgery later tomorrow. Its really getting exciting now!

I'm at the Marriott right now. Getting sleeved tomorrow with OCC. Guess I'll see some of you guys there tomorrow!

I am also going in January! My date is set for 1/16 in Mexico. I SO excited and nervous. I really would like to go NOW, but, I agreed to go after the holidays to make it easier on my boyfriend and family.

Where are you having your surgery done?

That's my date in Mexico as well. What are you getting done? How's the shakes..lol
