My post op is this Thursday. I can't wait. I hope I will be able to eat more variety then.

I had a drain like that, but they removed it before I left the hospital. The bulb kept getting in my way. I am amazed and impressed you could remove it yourself!

Well, this doesn't seem so bad compared...... But on day 5 post op I ate an entire sleeve of Ritz crackers. After two week pre op liquid diet, I needed some crunch!

I had a drain for a couple of days, but they removed it when I was discharged from the hospital. I am 3 days post op, clear liquids for a week, then a week of full liquids. Today, I was about 1/2 water and 1/2 clear liquid protein. Tomorrow I will try to get more protein in.

2 more days! And I fell off my pre op diet today. I hope it does not make my surgery and recovery harder. I feel pretty ashamed of myself. Up until today I had kept my calories under 1300, carbs under 100 and had eaten only protein shakes, lean protein and non starchy vegetables. I was overcome today by Cheezits and a cupcake. I am till under 1300 calories, but I am hungrier than I was on the days I stuck to my protein shakes. I used the Unjury shakes today and they don't have as much protein as the others I have been drinking. Should I tell my surgeon?

I am on the 23rd also - I have been waiting so long, I am not too worried - just anxious for it to be over !

That's unflavored protein powder. I have one more week to go!

I can't go anywhere without something to read. Take something just a little bit trashy for fun!

I'm in Charlotte - where are you?

Best wishes and prayers for everyone being sleeved today!

Best wishes and prayers for everyone getting sleeved today!

Good thoughts and prayers for everyone having surgery today!

Prayers and best wishes to all the Sept 9th sleeves!

I am on the 23rd also - I start my pre op diet tomorrow.

For everyone who has slipped on their diet - I got this from a WW leader and it has really helped me - "Lapses become failures only when they successfully intimidate you into stopping your weight reduction program. Those who are ultimately most successful in sustaining weight loss learn from their lapses instead of being intimidated by them. The best thing to do when lapses occur is to go to sleep that night and wake up the next day recommitted to following your weight loss program. "

I am Sept 23 as well! Had my last pre op appt today. When the nurse weighed me she said "this is the last time you will weigh this much". Wow, I can hardly imagine. I start 2 week liquids on Monday - I get 3 oz of Lean protein twice in the two weeks and all the non starchy veg I want. I am going to make a pot of WW 0 point veg soup and eat that in addition to my protein shakes. It tastes really good and is filling.
