Just looking to connect with other sleevers starting out around the same time and to learn from those who have been through the process and maintaining their weight loss.

Good luck! Best thing I've done. Down 42lbs in 5 weeks.

We’re getting our sleeves on the same day! I’ve been on liquid diet for 8 days now, I’m looking forward to just it being the day finally! Do you feel ready?

Hi im getting my surgery on Monday, .... not really nervous only thing im worried about is the weight in before surgery. If you read my first post i just finished posting you'll know why. You are all welcome to read my post would love to hear back from you guys because im nervous. I hope your surgery goes well if you haven't had it yet. Oh and my name is Diana :)

I’m doing great. A little stiff in the torso today. Lots of reflux but it passes pretty quickly. I think in another week my incisions will feel better. But I haven’t reached over a 5 on the pain scale.

Im struggling getting fluids in but I’m trying. How are you doing?

glad you’re good

hardly any pain in incisions and like you just a little stiff

I did have indigestion but took gaviscon and it’s never come back so all ok with me. Not hungry at all and I’m starting to take more water and also protein water and protein shakes so generally going great ,,, go us ??????

I find myself on a bit of a roller coaster at the moment--some times I feel completely ready (and my hospital team has been great), and sometimes i feel a little overwhelmed, and other times completely excited! How about you? Ready?

Good luck with your surgery!

@labgoddess I can’t figure out how to quote/reply directly in mobile (very new to the forums and also not a whiz at technology ?). That’s basically how I feel too!! But I’ve done 9 days on liquid now, so right now I’m just ready for it to be done and not have to do any more waiting! I’ve gotten all my prescriptions and I’ve stocked up on protein powder and jello for when I get home after the procedure but still a little nervous! Can’t believe it’s only a few days away now.

I'm having the bypass on the same day :) My surgery date was originally set for June 6, but I got a call Thursday that my surgeon had a cancellation, I'm so excited! Not nervous at all, super ready!
