Congrats!! good luck with the rest of your journey!!

I agree the cleanse is no fun at all. I've got to be at the hospital at 5:30. I don't know if i'll even be able to sleep tonight. Praying both our surgeries go great.

Well its finally time. After all these months of waiting I will be headed to the hospital tomorrow. Waiting on the scheduling department to call me and let me know what time to be there. It seemed like it was going to take forever to get to this point but now everything is moving so fast.

thanks everybody! I just got the call and I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am. I'm glad I'm going to be his first case. Atleast that way he will be all fresh and I won't have to sit around and wait and get even more nervous.

thanks for the link tink2222

sending prayers your way!! I will be in the same boat tomorrow. Look forward to hearing about your progress.

Congrats!!! Best wishes on the rest of your journey!!

Best of luck to you for surgery. I'll be in the same boat on Wednesday. I'm keeping my nerves under control right now. I hope that lasts. Look forward to hearing how great everything went for you!!!

on my full liquid diet I can have cream of chicken Soup, cream of mushroom, tomato soup, and yougurt. plus i've been making Protein Shakes. My favorite one is vanilla with a banana. hope this helps.

I'm nervous too! We have the same lucky date 12/12/12. I know we will both do great!!! I actually lost 6 lbs on the liquid diet so far.

I'm right there with ya. Did my preadmit testing and last surgical visit on Thursday. Counting down to surgery on 12/12/12. I'm getting more nervous day by day.

just had my first protein shake. I used vanilla matrix powder, fat free milk, ice, splenda, and a banana. it was actually very good.

glad u are doing well

I'm 12 days from surgery and my emotions are all over the place too. I'm mostly nervous as the time gets closer. Starting my liquid diet tomorrow. My friends keep asking me if I'm ready and all I can say is that I'm as ready as I'm going to be.

wow you look great!!!

Congrats on the start of your sleeve journey!! My husband is against me having surgery but says he will support my decision. I was surprised at how supportive my mom was when I told her. Best of luck to you.

Starting my liquid diet tomorrow. Final countdown. Only 12 days left!!!

Lilac lass i am so sorry to hear about your husband's job. I will keep u and your family in my prayers.

I actually went and bought some toddler sized spoons, forks, bowls, plates, and cups. The nutritionist suggested that this would help with getting used to the new sized portions and taking small bites. I got one tub of vanilla protein and one of strawberry kiwi. i figured I could do more with the vanilla based on the different recipes that they gave us. You can add bananas, berries and peanut butter and blend it up. As for the strawberry kiwi it tastes great just mixed in water.

One of my church members has been diagnosed with leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. So today we had a drive to have people get tested to see if they were a match. i was all excited thinking that maybe i could be the match she was looking for. Well when i get there I unfortunately found out that I could not even be tested because of my weight and the fact that I am on a cpap. This totally sucks!!! what if I am actually a match for her but just because I'm fat we can't even find out. This is totally ridiculous!!! I cant wait until I have surgery. I have already been excluded from enough things in life just because of my weight.
