    Oh my goodness! I can't sleep! I feel this heightened sense of panic and I am sure it also has to do with the liquid diet today. I'm sending out good vibes to everyone being sleeved today. Check in w

I am also focusing on the positive things to come to get me through the anxiety and fear. I was thinking about how great the beach will be when I am (hopefully) down 100 lbs this time next year! Give us an update on your surgery when you are feeling up to it. I am hoping for a pain free recovery for you tomorrow!

How are all July 7th sleevers doing?

I'm doing well! Off of the pain meds right now and able to drink the protein shakes in tiny amounts. The burping from all of the air is not fun but I've found that walking certainly helps.
Can't wait to hear from others!

Glad to hear you are well! I go under tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. I don't expect to get much sleep tonight!

Well the recovery kind of sucked [emoji24] but I got through it. I have lost a total of 25 pounds and I wish I would have done a better preop diet so that I would be at 40 pounds down. It was hard for me to not want to eat my moms cooking but the surgery helped anytime I went to eat something it just came up. I am tired but happy overall. How are you doing
