Hey everyone my surgery is in 9 hrs, so many mix emotions right now, but I know everything will be ok, wishing everyone else good luck and many blessings on their journey [emoji1545][emoji1545][emoji1545]

Some days are easier than others. The first few days were certainly the worst, though I am struggling today for some reason. I find myself going to bed a little earlier than usual, partly due to fatigue, but mostly because nighttime is when I usually snack. On Saturday, I attended a soccer (sorry - football) match, where there was an open bar and free food, and I somehow managed to get through it, but it's not an experience I'd like to have again until I am much further along in this process. Seeing the weight start to come off quickly has been a big motivator as well. For me, at least, the key has been making sure I am constantly sipping on something, so I stay relatively full. That being said, it's certainly not the worst thing that's ever happened to me, but I am very much looking forward to having this part done and over with.

PEPCID AC chewables should work as a good substitute & are readily available over the counter email everywhere

I was sleeved 15th feb, happy to be your buddy. It's not easy is it. Such a change. I'm ready for some crunch. How are you going?

It's almost time, good luck

I'm getting sleeved 3/28! How is everyone's liquid diet going (if you doc requires one )?

I need a buddy! I'm getting sleeved 3/30

The Lap Band is a horrible torture device. Don't do it. Go back to practicing healthy habits. If your surgeon has an aftercare program use it. Go back to doing whatever you did to lose 100 pounds. But whatever you do do not get a Lap Band

As a lightweight it sounds as if you're right on target. I remember I lost 19lbs. in my first month. That was pretty much the least of any DSer I knew. But I was like you. I knew I'd just keep chugging along. And I did. And I have. Almost 12 years later.

My Dr said the first 6 weeks are for healing not weight loss. You just had major surgery. Your body is focused on repairing itself not losing weight. Google 3 week stall. It seriously feels like no one did any research pre-op and just had surgery. If you have ever read any WLS boards there are lots of answers to this kind of question. Do some research so you know what expect and don't stress yourself. You need to be focused on healing and you can't if you are stressed.
