I finally got my date today! I will be getting my surgery on March 9th!!! I am so excited and 100 things are running through my head! Any advice from people who have already had the surgery? Any one else getting theirs done in March??

Anyone heard from Spicy? I've been hoping she is okay.

@jill_lcardi i was wondering the same thing im hoping she's ok also

Well, last day of having my rabbit food..hehe. Tomorrow I begin a week of all shakes and pureed fruits. Im down a total of 14 lbs in just 6 days and feel pretty flipping good. Ive consumed more avacado, potatoes, carrots, brussel spouts and asparagus than i have in the last 15 years. My body is clearly recognizing this as I am craving more and getting hungry faster. The protein shakes with PB2 is helping along. Tomorrow begins a new phase in this endeavor...the body will be freaking out for sure. Ah, yes, let the head games begin!!

@@stacy458 I am ready for the surgery, it not the sleeve I'm worried about its my self I'm worried about. Im worried Ill let myself down and fail. I am putting so much hope in this surgery that if i fail to make new habits and end up right back where i am i will be devastated. which is why i have really been trying to make new eating habits. I am feel a little better after reading some comments from other. Thank you so much for you thoughts! I really appreciate it!

My last solid breakfast for a few weeks...yippie!!

Just an opinion here but it sounds to me like you lack self confidence. I think most here would tell you the same story. A story about how they've lost and regained and lost and regained. That is why we're doing this, right? You have to decide that the BS stops now....and grab the reigns. We are at war with own bodies. It helps if you have a supporter...someone to confide in push you when you need it. The fact that you are doing this means you recognize that you need this tool in order to be successful. Just follow the plan and exercise. The weight will come off and you'll be eating in moderation. WE got this!!

I added up my calories too and I'm at about 640 to 680 per day.

Day one of my pre-op diet. It wasn't so bad. Were you all looking at your daily calories while you were on the pre-op? I was at almost 700 calories today. That seems high to me..

@FortKnox Did I read correctly and you said 14 pounds?!?!? What the heck...that some crazy weight loss. You are going to kill this! You are doing amazingly well and it sounds like you've adopted the right mindset too. AWESOME!

@@chaggard, so glad to hear you are ready...just playing devils advocate. I'm right there with you. I feel the pressure to succeed too. I think we all are putting a lot of hope into our surgeries. It's sounds like you are in the right frame of mind. You are working hard to make new habits. I think we will all have bad days but always remember, we are all here for each other. Best wishes and keep talking...let us know how you are doing!

@@FortKnox78, I'm so jealous. I haven't had a solid Breakfast for a month. Mouth watering!

My last solid breakfast for a few weeks...yippie!!

I got on the scale this morning and am down 2 pounds from yesterday. I still think I'm retaining fluids because my wedding ring is tight and it had been really loose a week ago. I think I'm still being haunted by that cheeseburger fiasco from last weekend. It's that or that unjury chicken broth has too much sodium for me.

I am in good spirits though. Every day that I get closer to this surgery, I get a little more excited. I ran out of my liquid B-12. Anyone do the dissolvable dots? I guess B-12 is B-12.

Stacy was right about developing new habits. Now, without thinking the first thing I do in the morning is mix my shake, grab my Vitamins, Water and coffee. I have to work on the exercise though. I know it's because of my feet hurting but they don't hurt as much as they did in January!!

I start 2 week pre-op diet tomorrow, surgery on the 19th. Nervous as ever but cant wait to have ankles again...lol...no seriously though..it'll be nice to eat absolutely nothing and feel stuffed!

I have my sleeve on the 19th excited and nervous

Hi Everyone. I apologize I have not been on. I had my surgery on Monday and had my IV's in for my liquids and pain meds. Day 2 was rough for me. I could not handle sips of water or oral pain meds. Every time I sipped on water, took oral pain meds, or stood up I would get nauseaous and drive heave. Let me tell you, dry heaving after stomach surgery is pretty rotten. BUT today I was able to take fluids, they found out that the taste of the liquid pain killers were making me gag so they adjusted it to a pill and now I am home in my own bed. I am sore, but I am so happy to be home. I have been up and walking, I have not really had any of the gas pain yet. Sorry if I worried anyone, I got ya'lls private messages and I appreciate everyone looking out for me. I am doing well. Sitting up straight is a little rough, but I didn't want to make anyone worry. I will log on later
