Hey everyone,

I am so excited to get going on this weight loss journey. I feel like I have tried so many other things but with this I feel I can have long term success! I got a bug to get it done and had my first doctor appt. Oct. 17th and it felt like it took forever to get scheduled but it really wasn't very long I guess. I am anxious to get it over with.

Scared of pain, wondering what I will eat. Anyone have any favorite Protein powders? I hear they will be my friend. The only ones I tried in the past were yucky! What about shakes? I like Optifast but they are pricey. Any decent ones out there?

Hoping for some buddies to go through this with me!

One more day! It's early afternoon and I'm starving on clear liquids. Don't check in at hospital until 10 AM tomorrow. It's going to be a long day!

Good luck for those who are having surgery. Mine is at mid day I'm trying to stay calm lol.

My time got moved from 730 to 955am. Still have to be there at 530 am to do blood work since I am 2 hours away from hospital could not do it during the week. Good luck to everyone! I wish today would speed up cause I am kind of hungry!

Don't forget to take a "before" photo and measurements today! I did my photo last night.

ohhh thanks for the reminder - Good luck to you also

Dec 16 here!!

Lots of people getting sleeved tomorrow. Best of luck to all of y'all!!!! Can't wait to hear how all the surgeries went

Hey is there anyone else getting their surgery at Bothwell hospital tomorrow?

Congrats to everyone on their journey tomorrow! Make sure to update us!!

I'm 20 days post surgery and what I know for sure is I really don't like the Unjury protein powders!! If I have to drink one more I might throw up! The chicken soup tastes ok but you cannot make it anywhere near hot because the powder clumps up and gets pasty. I've tried every way I can think of to prepare it but if it gets much warmer than room temp, it will clump and get pasty. You make it at room temp or a little warmer but it takes so long to drink it that it gets nasty and cold very quickly. Definitely avoid it.

MORNING OF SURGERY!!! 3:51am showered and ready to go - once again Good Luck everyone - LET'S DO THIS!

On my way to the hospital! I have never been so scared in my life. I just want to make it back to my baby since I'm all she has. Good luck to us all. Prayers heading yalls way.
