So excited this journey is about to begin! This forum has been so encouraging. I love reading about your journey, tips and challenges.

I'm imagining all the ways my life is about to change. I want to set up little rewards along the way other than the HUGE reward of health and beauty.

Good Luck! So happy for you. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Good luck...i just had my surgery Thursday

How are you feeling?

Good luck...i just had my surgery Thursday

How are you feeling?

Feeling much better today... Having a little gas pain every once in a while but nothing too bad

Clear liquids today. Darn it, I didn't search for iso-pure clear Protein drinks ahead of time! Neither my grocery store nor the pharmacy had them so I guess it's just tea and Water for me today. I don't want to have any sugar like Popsicles because it'll make me starving! it's always easier for me to fast then to do anything moderate. ha ha but ouch the detox headache is severe. Already packed so not much to do but lounge anyway.

Counting down the hours! By this time tomorrow I'll be recovering. Weeeeee!

Just wanted to say good luck to those having surgery tomorrow

Scheduled for 7:30am tomorrow. Excited yet anxious, also curious as to how things will go tomorrow. So ready to get my journey started.

My surgery is tomorrow too. Hoping I can sleep tonight. Last night I was up and down all night. Good luck to everyone else having their surgery tomorrow. Excited (and a bit anxious) to get to the next step.

Good luck

Good luck to all those having surgery tomorrow....

Safe and sound at home. No complications or pain just couldn't sleep at the hospital from all that waking me up every two hours.

I had my surgery Monday. Came home today. Pain has been fine, except for a couple coughing fits that were quite painful. My doctors diet calls for clear liquids, specifically 50/50 water and juice or Gatorade/Powerade. No nausea or problems getting the liquids down. I was afraid to start taking my regular meds when I got home, but my BP was creeping up. I had 3 to take so I spaced them out and so far no problem getting them down. Kind of tired, but I figure getting some calories in will probably help with that. Plan to try to start some supplements tomorrow. Hope everyone else that had surgery this week is doing well.

I am glad to hear you are not in pain! I am hoping to get the sleeve in december and it is great to hear about your experience. I will be looking forward to your posts and hope you have a speedy recovery! :-)
