Thank you! I appreciate it. Good luck to you on Monday!!!

ONE MORE SLEEP!! Surgery is tomorrow. I'm waiting on the call to tell me what time to arrive at the hospital. I haven't had to do any sort of pre op diet but I'm on clear liquids only, today. I will be drinking the awful magnesium citrate starting at 3 pm. At 5 pm I put on my Nausea parch. I'm excited but extremely nervous. I have a blood clotting issue so if there are any prayer warriors out there, I could use some prayers! Good luck everyone!!

How are you doing?

I'm scheduled for November 25 in Texas. Would love to know of anyone else in this area. Nerves are starting but I am so excited to get this done. Good luck everyone!

I'm south of Fort Worth. Scheduled for 11/19. Can't believe they scheduled you for the day before Thanksgiving. ????????

Surgery went well. I stayed an extra day in the hospital so my dr could keep an eye on my blood clots. I am home now and then quite a bit of pain but it is becoming more manageable by the hour. Cravings and hunger are still hanging around. I'm trying to focus on sipping my Water and walking.

I actually chose the date. My son graduates from college on December 18 in Nashville. Was not taking any chances! It's worth it:-)

Now I see. Congrats to your son. Have you started you pre-op diet yet?

I have been on 1100 calories for 4 months. Monday I go for the next stage of prep work with Doctor. How about you?

Day 8 of my 2 week liquid diet. Didn't have any requirements for losing weight before surgery but I self-imposed a diet (ok.. Making better choices when I eat). Have lost close to 50 lbs.

That's awesome! I have lost almost 40. My doctor doesn't require liquid diet I have been told. I will know more Monday. I havent heard of any other Doctor not requiring that so I am starting it on my own just to be extra cautious.

You all are awesome!!

I gained 15 lbs in 5 mos(quit smoking) plus LOTS of food funerals, & a pregnant daughter!! Every excuse to continue to eat more!! I Lost 8 in 3 weeks( my surgeon demanded in order to move forward) And only lost 4 so far during this pre-op!

I commend you on your loss so far.. That's amazing!

I'm 12/2 so just a few days after you :)

My doctor doesn't require liquids prior to surgery either. He says it's because all the liquid after surgery is plenty of torture all on its own ;) I can appreciate that!

How did things go? I've had a history of blood clots so I totally understand what that's like. It's my main concern going in. I'm being sleeved 12/2. Hope you're doing well!
