Yay! So when are you having your procedure or did you already? I'm scheduled for 7/13 and can hardly wait! Of course my excitement is to get to the other side.. not this pre op stuff. LOL!
Where are you / did you have it done?
-
3 days left of liquid diet.. moved to clears today. Took my required laxative and now feeling a little nauseous. (I was going to say crappy but that would be bad..right?)
-
3RD week of stall.. wondering how long my body can fight the weight loss. Would love to hear from others 1-3 months out and how you are doing..
-
7 real meals left until the liquid diet... have been eating wheat the last few days after pretty much eliminating it from my diet and feel so sluggish & gross. I know I'll be hungry on the liquid diet but I'm looking forward to feeling good again!
-
Aww.. Thanks sweetdreams! I'm sure I'm going to freak a little when it comes time to leave my family and go over the border. However I feel like this is something I just have to do. There is so much I want to do yet in life and being overweight is just holding me back. I guess it will be just me and God because seriously that is the only way I'll be getting thru the pre-op diet anyway.

Been a long time since I've been on here but coming up to my 90 day mark. Things are going fairly well, down 40lbs. Should be down more but am still a sugar addict.
-
Cleaned out the fridge.. no I don't mean eating. I mean actually pulling everything out and cleaning it. Can't imagine wanting to do that job while only having liquids. Kept thinking by the time I do this again I'll be post surgery!
-
Crashed my husband's doctors support group last night. There were some lap bands, some gastric by pass patients and only 2 other sleevies. But it was fun to hear their stories. One girl was down from 300lbs to a size 4. Amazing!
-
Day 2 of liquid diet.. well this is a challenge for those of us who are used to a full belly. Dieting was never my forte or I wouldn't be in this position. I just need to make it thru a training presentation with my bosses and serving a group of people lunch. NO problem.. right?
-
Down 11lbs with the pre-op diet. I want a protein shake though! Don't understand this 3 days of clears when some surgeons let their patients eat a full meal the night before! Why no protien?
-
First day back at body pump class in months! Didn't do anything more than 10lbs but my muscles are shaking!
-
Good for you to get all that behind you and practice your pre op diet! I just set up my weight loss ticker but I'm not sure where to put it. I put it in my signature box but wondering if you can see it? I started setting aside things to bring to the hospital. Here are some tips I've read on the boards: chapstick, gasx strips, small firm pillow, SF halls someone said helped wth t...

Got a new haircut to go with the new me! However, no new photo yet because I'm still sporting this black eye from when I passed out after surgery and fell on the floor.
-
Hey friends.. I'm alive and sleeved! Still feeling it but am able to do some walking up and down the halls. Will post more later.
-
Hey Girl! Sorry about the gross laxative drink.. hope it's worth it. LOL! Only 2 more days!
-
Hi Cathi, I'm going to Tijuana for my surgery on 7/12.. not quite Mexicali but still Mexico! I have been so excited about the surgery, well .. more for the after effects then the actual survey but am now starting to get the nerves too. I think it's normal. I also did not understand the aspiring evangelist and junior guru and sleeve master for awhile.. there should be a how to guide. LOL!
-
Hi Darlis, did you decide yet on the plication or the sleeve? Good luck on the pre-op diet, when do you start?
-
Hi dreams.. I have a 5 day liquid diet that starts Thursday. Then I stay in the hospital for 2 nights and then the recovery hotel for another night or two. Did I tell you that I'm having my surgery in Mexico? Kind of funny when there is a perfectly good bariatric surgeon across the street from where I work. Insurance won't pay so I have to and that is why.

Hi Friends.. thanks for all your messages and prayers! Things have gone better than I expected! Drain is out, IV gone, leak test done and I am sitting at Lucerna breathing some fresh air!
