I'm excited, getting nervous and already wishing it was over! I'm scheduled at 1:30 on the 18th. I am bummed that it's so late in the day because that's a long time to go without drinking and I have no chance of going home same day.

Welcome... I know that's a long time to wait!! I have a personal connection with my doctor, he works here at my hospital where I work. He's only here one day a week in our OR to do general surgery. So when I started my doctor checks I found him to be the best in Buffalo... Once we met for the first time in his clinic for Lap-Band he was totally floored he knew me from being around/seen as an employee!! That was my shoe in for good treatment....LOL,LOL,LOL I let him know in a fun way no parties, drinking, sex, plenty of sleep the night before my surgery.... We laughed like crazy..... He has such a bed side mannor that cannot be matched by anyone else.... In my check on him I found out he even jumps in at Children's Hospital here in Buffalo to help in the Surgery unit.... Now that totally melted my heart!!

I'm on the 18th at 12:30 p.m. I'm not nervous.

Just so ready to get done with this liquid diet. At first it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but now I'm really ready for something.... pureed. Yum, I can have that the day after my surgery.

I took the day off yesterday and got a manicure and pedicure! I was feeling sorry for myself. Oh poor me, can't eat out (I love to eat out) can't buy new clothes (what's the point right now?) It worked. I think maybe I should take off every other day to do that. :clap2:

The good news is, I lost 5 lbs. right before starting liquids by doing a few days on Atkins Induction. And got up this a.m. and I'm down another 5 lbs. Woo hoo!

Well, surgery is on Monday December 17 at 1:15 (arrive to hospital at 11:30) and I am starting to feel anxious, nervous, can't stay busy enough, you name it. I cleaned house yesterday and am going to go back through and clean again today.

I hope that everything goes well for each and every one of us that has surgery coming up. I personally could not ask for a better Christmas/New Year gift.

Glad to see I'm not the only nervous one out there!! I'm up for surgery at 7 am Monday Dec 17th. I'm going crazy and having cravings for pizza and all the junk that would probably make my liver swell back up if I give in, of course I'm so hungry I'd probably eat the whole pizza!!!

I'm scared, relieved and impatient all the same. I just have to keep looking at the before/after pix on LBT and that gets my butt moving.

I hope the surgery is not too bad!

better go, I'm off to finish Christmas shopping!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
