Ugh, you lucky duck!!! Water, Jello and Apple juice have been my diet for two days now. And to top it off yesterday I had to sit through a chili cook off at work :(

Aww don't worry, we will all be in the same boat tomorrow lol. Nothing but clear liquids:) Oh and don't forget to check in as soon as you all can. I'm sure we'll be super busy until tomorrow night.

Man your lucky! Mine stated milk of magnesia to start on Friday. Lol, every bit of liquid I put in comes right back out lol.

But prettycali, you are having sleeve correct? When I did that one is was liquids the day before and it was fine. I would just keep to liquid today though, and maybe a dose of mom to help get it out of your system.

Yes my doctor allow me to eat up until midnight tonight. I am also on the low carb diet too.. but I decided to do liquids today

Is everyone's surgery just a day surgery? Mine is, supposed to start surgery about 10am and they said I should be going home about 6pm. Just wondering if this is the same for everyone.

I wish I could go home the same day! Mine is at 9:30am and spending one night at the hospital. Should be discharged by noon on Tuesday. I know @@Adina's_Journey is going to MX so she'll be in the hospital for a day or so and then will stay over for recovery I think.

Good luck everyone. My surgeon said I will be 1-2 night in the hospital.

I will be in the hospital until Wednesday. I plan to show the Dr how great I'm doing tomorrow and maybe he'll release me. Fingers crossed!

I'm having bypass and I have to stay overnight. Most people I know who had sleeve also stayed overnight. I guess it depends on the surgeon.

This is a closed/secret group for everyone who is going to have bypass surgery in February 2016!

We would LOVE to have you join in wit us! Just go to Facebook and search my name LaNae Davis Petersen, send me a friend request. I can then send you an invite to secret page and then I'll remove you back off my friends list :)

It's meant to be a positive group who we can all be going through the same things at the same tim on this journey! The goals will be to provide support, bounce questions off each other, have somewhere safe to share on the days that aren't so great, and share our victories on this journey!

MOST importantly it's all confidential, unless you are in this group people can't see the group, who's in it or what the posts are.

So....finally woke up today WITHOUT a headache...cause it's a MIRACLE and started cleaning my house like a mofo...because, you know....I could die in surgery and I don't want anyone who comes to my funeral to see how I live....and then BOOM, got my period. FML
