Two days away and I will have crossed the finish line. Today I have been eating SF Popsicles all day along with broth. I don't fell hungry. I just could not drink another Slimfast! I plan on having SF jello for tomorrow. I will be packing shortly. I'm so excited. I don't want to over pack. I have to drag that stuff three flights up once discharged. So light is the way to go. Thinking of wearing a maxi dress or draw string shorts; Simple comfortable clothes. Hope it's not super hot when I'm discharged. I plan to walk the hall until my first post op visit. Then if all cleared I can do the stairs and I can walk the track. I also wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their kind words and thoughts as well as the great advice and feedback to all the sleevers on this site. It has been a great help. Continued success on this journey! Karen

Need a Buddy! My surgery is 7/22
kw2walker replied to Cmt7831's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was getting worried about you, glad you checked in. Look at you, losing like a champ! I go tomorrow for my first post op visit and can't wait to post my numbers. Keep up the great work! -
I'm hungry on clear liquids. I'm on them until my first post op visit (tomorrow) but I did test drive cream of rice with unflavored protein, yummy it killed the hungry beast lol. I hope to be cleared to stay on full liquids.

Help! Gall Bladder Polyp: Remove?
kw2walker replied to Mira77's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The materials provided to me from my doctors office and the research I did showed it is rather common to remove the gallbladder. -

What's your blood pressure looking like as well as your A1C? They look at all of those. For me my blood pressure, A1C, weight (up and down), then sleep apnea and I had a thyroid issue all worked in my favor for the approval process. The sleep apnea sealed the deal with atena. BMI may play a factor not sure how much, but a history of it going up and down could work in that it shows you have been trying but have not been successful with maintaining a lower weight.
