Hey ladycharizar... the more the merrier and welcome give me the who, what and where

I'm in Camden county, NJ! My sleeve date is August 1st. I'm suppose to start my liquid diet on July 18th. Yikes!

Nice!!! Good luck to you!!! Who's doing your surgery? Where? Please keep us posted! I'm doing well, taking it one day at a time. I'm in my pureed stage right now, looking forward to starting my soft food stage next week.

The first few days post op for me were a bit challenging. I was sick of the broth and jello, but as you advance to full liquids , it gets better. Whenever you get frustrated, you have to think about the long term effects this will have on your health. It's for the best. You'll be fine!!

Thanks, I'm glad you're feeling better.
I'm just excited to get it done and want the date here already.
I'm doing all of the pre op clearance visits over the next 2 weeks and I'm praying that none of the results delays the surgery date.
In case you haven't noticed I'm a bit of an anxious person.
Good luck on your journey, I can't wait to be in your shoes. [emoji847]
