I am so excited for the big day!!! I still have lots of questions but I think that’s pretty common as the unknown can be scary. Just curious what should I expect the first week after surgery? And how long have people been off work for the surgery?

Well, day 9 of the pre op diet. For me, day 4 and 5 were the worst. Tired, weepy and generally sad. It's better now, but I'm tired of Boost. Just think, after 5 more days we are in! I'm down 13 lbs, so I'm glad my liver is shrinking. How are you all coping?

I'm only 8lbs down way to go you, the 27th is coming up quickly. Good luck to you and all the 27th buddies ?

Paula, 8 lbs is great! Keep it up! Got my "friend " this week, hopefully when that's done, it will be lower! [emoji12]

I’m also on day 9 of this diet. I was losing more weight before I started. I have only lost 3 lbs in the last 9 days. I think it might be the premiere protein drink. I haven’t had milk in years. I think I am reacting badly to this drink. I am going to stop using it and stick with the nondairy products. I have lost 30 lbs in the last 8 months so I’m not too worried.

Good luck to all my November 27th buddies. I’m so happy this day is finally here. I wish us all a safe quick recovery.

Good morning. I had my surgery yesterday. I feel pretty good. Getting my liquid and ice chip down. Walked severed time last night and this morning but I’m so tired. I think I get to go home after 11am this morning.

I hope that my fellow 27th friends are doing well.

Wow, you look amazing! I had my surgery yesterday. Went really well, surgeon said it was "textbook". Had a bit of a rough night, rumbling gas and nausea but they are taking excellent care of me. My job today is drink, walk and blow into that lung thing (can't remember the name, spyro something). Positive thoughts for a quick recovery for us all.
