I love that these forums help me to feel like I'm not alone.

Who else is getting sleeved June 30th?

I'd love to have surgery buddies to keep up with during the process.

Surgeon: Dr. Hargroder in Louisiana

SW 305

Height-5'7"

Ultimate Goal- 175

(although I must say being 199 would make me the happiest woman alive. Lol)

Ktprimo.. I hear ya.. how about just putting on clothes, bending over and tying shoelaces.. that shouldn't exhaust me.. lol

Most definitely! I've gotten to where I have to sit while dressing and only buy slip on shoes so I don't have to bend to tie laces.

I did have a moment tonight that I enjoyed with my baby sister who is my assistant photographer. I was sweating my butt off, already achy and so tired driving from the ceremony to the reception when she looked at me and said, "smile...and remember this is the last time you'll photograph a wedding and feel this crappy. By the next one, you'll be much lighter and have way more energy." She's never been fat a day in her life but it is so awesome how understanding she is.

June 30 in Missouri--Dr. Hawver

HW-252

Current 242

Goal145-150 range.

Pre-op tests start at 9:30am (two hours away from home so I've gotta get up early). I can't sleep. I swear u would think I'm going in for surgery in the morning. I am so nervous.

Just got my day moved up... I'm now June 30th

We are only 6 days out!!!!

Surgery - 5 days away for me and counting. Pre-op diet is starting to feel better - Day 5, but can't wait to have something other than the nasty shake I'm taking. Love the popsicles and Jello

All cleared for surgery. Passed all pre-op tests. Even glad they did an ultrasound on my legs to make sure the pains I've been having weren't bloodclots. All went well.

Leaving for vacation in New York tomorrow morning and returning Monday to get ready for surgery on Tuesday. Yay!!

Ktprimo.. are u taking your shakes with u?

I've got a couple of small sample packs of unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder and my raspberry lemonade crystal light in my carry-on bag. Praying I don't end up with a layover anywhere so it's not too tortuous. Lol

(**I don't have to start my liquid diet until 10am Monday so it'll only be a little rough while I'm on the plane ride home.)

June 30th!!!! Five days out! Hang in there with the pre-op diets!

I start my preop full liquid diet tomorrow... then clear liquids Sunday and monday. I wish everyone luck!!! I'm not sure how to friend on here but feel free I would like to keep up with everyone so we be of support to each other!!!

Good luck lacey..

Finishing the first of my three day liquid diet. I have to drink a special meal replacement that is full of sugar. It's not the post-op shake. Yuck. However, it's the only pre-op I have to do so I'll just suck it up. I'm a 33.3 BMI so no liver shrinkage necessary. I'm so excited about Tuesday!

My BMI is much higher than yours but my doc feels that pre-op liquid diets can't shrink a liver enough if fatty liver problems already exist. I know there is a small chance he may have to open me up and skip laparoscopic surgery if my liver is too fatty or my scar tissue from previous surgeries gets in the way so I'm just hoping I'll be lucky and he won't have to. I've enjoyed being able to eat normal food while on vacation but vacation has also made me even more tired of being so darn fat. Vacationing in New York while struggling to walk and climb stairs is no fun. I am sooo excited Tuesday is almost here!! I never thought my fear would almost completely be replaced with shear excitement. Only 2 days until we can join the losers bench!! Yay!!
