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

Checked in, labs drawn, waiting to get IV????

Good luck!! You'll be on the other side before you know it. Yay!! Best wishes for a good recovery.

My surgery is tomorrow! At 4pm! It's official. I'm so emotional right now!

I go in at 6am tomorrow morning! I'm all kinds of dazed!

Home after the procedure. Trying to get the fluids down.

My anxiety is in full attack mode. Wow! I can't believe tomorrow is the big day! ????

You'll do fine. The first day is tough but they keep you well situated overnight.

I would be all nervous right now but honestly I'm too exhausted and mentally drained to be nervous.

1 week post op & I'm down 23 lbs since beginning the pre-op diet & down 8 lbs since surgery!!

that's my first "stats" post lol. I'm doing pretty well. I'm not getting my full 64 oz of fluid in but I get so close. I don't think I'm getting all of my protein in either but during this 1st week my Dr wanted me to focus more on fluids so starting tomorrow I'm going to really focus on trying to get as much of both as I can. Today was an odd day for "eating" for me. Things would sound good until I tried them then I didn't want them. I'm still on shakes & soups mostly but have tried some pureed things & so far there's no physical problems with them, I just really don't want to eat I think. I'm in very little pain, more like soreness & discomfort lol. Its all very tolerable though. I just took some adult liquid Tylenol & mainly took it so that I will sleep good tonight. I'm also having a cup of sleepy time herbal tea so hopefully I'll relax good tonight.

Surgery went well, lots of pain first 2 hours-I was pretty doped up so I slept most of the day. Lots of Bp and temp checks so not able to sleep tonight????Overall, I don't remember anything about surgery tomorrow is do upper GI test and can start liquids.

Good Luck everyone, It will be done before you know it- Literally????

I broke down and bought some outfits as I threw out all my big clothes a couple of years ago. I gained 60 pounds when my gastric band was removed last December. I just got my gastric sleeve and I am anxiously waiting the day I can wear my skinny clothes again.

I am down 20lbs ya'll
