MAGIC BULLET!!! It's small.. easy to use, wash parts, microwave on the cups,... highly recommend it..

Quick up date.. I’m 9 days post op!! I can’t believe it!! Time flies.. My surgery went well.. the worst part of it was the air/gas left inside the cavity. I couldn’t sleep, lay down or sit down right after surgery. It wasn’t extreme pain, but more of an extremely uncomfortable feeling. So I took my Dr.’s advice and I walked! I walked about twice an hour starting from around 6:00 PM to around 10:00 AM the next day At that time I was able to lay down. I slept for about 2 hours. I was released soon after at 2:00 PM and that night at home I slept well.. no pain, no discomfort.. Most of the air was out of my body. Overall I feel that I’ve been extremely lucky. The most pain I felt was what felt like a pinch on my incisions and minor, probably unrelated back pain. No other symptoms. It feels too good to be true.. Thank you so much for all of your help and support.

First I would like to say that I am so grateful for this site and all of your comments. All of you have written wonderful advice. With that in mind, let me tell you that my surgery is this Friday 02/03/12 right on my hubbie’s B-Day! This surgery is my own present.. I turn 40 years old on super bowl Sunday, two days after my sleeve surgery. I currently weigh 208, but my heaviest was 222 I'm 5'0" A BMI of over 40 I began this journey last May when I got the approval from Kaiser to begin the Options program. This program was 3 months of weekly classes that prepares prospective weight loss Kaiser members that are ready to embark on this journey. I’m also extremely grateful for that program. So here I am, 2 days until my surgery. I am extremely nervous, I truly do have the jitters. I’ve have kept busy, preparing my home and husband and son for this big step. I’ve bought just about everything on my Kaiser shopping list and some items mentioned in these blogs. Currently I'm eating liquids and purees.. self imposed.. Kaiser only asked for one day of clear liquids prior to surgery and no food past 12:00 AM I am nervous, exited and worried all at once. Thank God for the internet!! It keeps me sane. But overall I AM READY!!! READY!

I am AMAZED at how total strangers can be so supportive!!! I thank you so much for all your encouragement.. I honestly feel better. Reading all of your comments really makes me feel good. Clear liquids for me today!!! I can’t wait for tomorrow 1:00 PM!! Thanks so much for your wonderful support I really need to hear all of what you have posted!!. You’re sending me off on a wonderful note. Again thank you.
