I just got my surgery date and I want to make some August surgery friends so we can share our ups and downs in the weight loss journey.

My sleeve surgery is on Monday the 13th! Starting my two day clear liquids only today! The two week pre op diet was difficult mentally more than physically but I am so excited to be moving to the next stage and so nervous for surgery

Wait..you said you were nervous. Sorry that was a stupid question. I'm more ready than nervous...but wait until tomorrow....lol I just pray I'm in the hospital one 1 night. ..[emoji1488][emoji1488][emoji1488][emoji29][emoji29][emoji16][emoji16]

Had my surgery on the 6th. Despite a cheat day due to stress, my liver was small and pretty clean.
But let me tell you... GAS PAINS ARE NO JOKE.
Was in hospital until about 5pm today, pain is not fully gone but alas, was not prescribed anything but liquid tylenol, anti-nausea, and gabapentin. Pharmacy is out of the anti spasmodic.

Now that I am home and had some deep sleep, the coughing has started. With 5 incisions and gas pain and nausea, this is hell.

All well, since I pretty much have not been drinking, going to try to now. Maybe that plus the meds will also quiet the cough some.

Best to all!

Now, I'm nervouse about the pain I may be in...yikes!!

I can, and I can't, believe it's tomorrow (well in 4 minutes it'll be today!) Journey started in January, and the 7+ months have went by pretty quick, though I am pretty patient and wasn't in a huge hurry. The last month has went by pretty slow, especially because of the liquid diet.

It's definitely getting real. We'll see if I sleep tonight!

Monday 8/13/18
Starting my last week of pre-op diet then two days of liquid diet then surgery day will be here. I decide to get on the scale this morning when I said I would not until day of surgery but I did and I’m down 19 pounds. The beginning of the diet I was fine but come the weekend I was about ready to throw in the towel then I read some folks post and it had kept me going. Thanks have a great week.

At the hospital!! I.V. in and ready... whew!!!
