Goodmorning everyone! Sending good vibes and prayers for everyone who has surgery today and this weekend! This is the best decision we could have made for ourselves . I'm now 3 days post op and so happy to be waking up in my own bed! I was able to meet my 64 Fl oz and 40 grams of protein yesterday . If you guys are looking for a good protein that will help you meet your liquid goals as well.. I would recommend Isopure as it's 20 fl oz and 40 grams of protein all in one bottle! They have pretty decent flavors and are on sale at GNC (Buy 3 get one free) . Blue raspberry is my favorite . Sorry if I'm super excited but I can't wait to see where all of us are in 3-6 months!

@@ladymiz / @@Stacy43 - They'll probably do your chest x-ray at your pre-op appt. That's when they did mine.

Well tomorrow morning is my last appointment before surgery on the 25th of July! My father is coming with me to learn more about the procedure that I'm having done etc. The surgeon that I have is A plus because each appointment she's said 'I don't want to be the one to say you have to have surgery' And she's been very helpful in the last six months in the pre surgery stage. My dad has his reservations but prayerfully tomorrow he'll feel better about it.

Good luck soon to be sleevers!!!

Thank you! I finally had my first spell of nausea. But that's so small compared to how great everything else has been! They pushed up my protein intake to 60-80g so I'm working on hitting that. Other than that everything else has been awesome. I'm kind of ready to go back to work but my surgeon wants at least most of my pain to be gone . So hopefully I get to go back Wednesday . I have been walking up to a mile everyday for the past 3 days. I'm down 17.4 pounds since surgery . HW:375 DOS:356 CW:339.2 . So excited for my first beach trip in December .
