I'm beginning to second guess myself. I don't want to discuss my nerves with my family because I think they are already nervous enough. I know this is incredibly important for my future, so, I will get through it. But my hands are shaking and I feel like I just can't talk to anyone. Anybody else out there feeling like this?

Hi buddy my big day is tomorrow morning 10am so I know how you feel so we can become good ❤️buddies I'll let you know how everything go's for me so just to let know your not alone in this journey so keep strong????????????????

You are an angel!! Thank you. Are you doing ok?

Hi queenie - 2moro 10am it is for me too. My nerves are killing me. Woke up with a headache.

Is it worth it?

Mine's tomorrow, new buddies.

Hi buddies yay yay I make it home went to hospital Friday morning & came home Sunday morning it was not so bad I am sore on my left side got little light head but the hospital staff are amazing good luck to all of us on our Journey

Recovery was pretty rough for the first couple of days. (sleeved on Oct 28th in Sydney) I'm still having a lot of pain. It comes in waves right beneath and in the centre of my rib cage. Drinks taste off. Artificial sweeteners taste even more off. Powerade Zero goes down pretty well though. looks like there's going to be some trial and error. On the upside, I'm down 14 pounds since I started the Optifast about 2 weeks ago. That makes me happy. How's the rest of the pre-Halloween gang doing? Anybody else fantasising about what your next year's costume will be? ????????????

Hi buddies sorry it took long time to keep in touch. Will it's been a week after surgery eve thing went well. The worst part of all was when the nurse pull out the draining. From by belly ???? also I hurting from my left side for the first week . Now I having to get all my liquids & protein This week need to walk more ???????? but hey buddies I hope everything is going well you all So lets keep in touch okay

It's almost two weeks post op. Feeling great. Sick of the Protein shakes. I just mix Greek yoghurt with some unsweetened almond milk.

I had no drains - maybe it's done differently in the UK. Also pre- surgery was a liver shrinking diet that required me to follow a meal plan. Not liquid diets like I read here.

Lost 6kg. Seldom hungry. Trying to keep up with the protein sans nasty shakes. Made black eye bean Soup yesterday.

Hey buddy so for taking so long keep in Touch will I'm down 100lbs but now hit a stall for weeks but won't give up!
