Thank you!! I'm hoping yo go home tomorrow. I've been walking the halls a lot and it really does make a difference!

Good luck!!!! Yesterday was my day! You'll be sore but it's completely manageable. Sending prayers your way!!

I did it!!!! Pain level was high when I woke up. They gave me meds and they helped a lot!!! Now, I'm just on Torradol because I want to get better and go home! So far, it's been a very good experience.

It's better than I thought it would be. I needed pain meds as soon as I woke up and they worked wonders. Now, it's 2:30 am and I am only on Torradol-nothing really crazy.

I had my sleeve today and I feel so much better than I thought I would. I'm still a little sore and I just had a wave of nausea but otherwise, feeling good!

Had my sleeve today! I feel much better than I thought if would! So thankful to have the surgery over with! Now, on to the new me!

Surgery Day!!!!! I'm on my way to Philly now for my surgery. It was very hard to kiss my girls goodbye when I left but I know this surgery will improve my health and overall well being. I'm down 7 pounds pre-op so starting at 220. Good luck to my fellow sleevers today! We got this! ????

My surgery is today and I am hoping to be this successful! Thank you for the motivation! Congrats on your success!

Thank you everyone! So I'm still the same (down 6 pounds) during pre-op and tomorrow is the big day! If my 5 year old would stop saying, "Mommy, don't go" I think I would be fine. Let's hope the next 15 hours go by quick!!

I am scheduled for tomorrow, March 3rd and I am also having my surgery in Philadelphia and traveling in a snow storm. Wishing all my fellow sleeves the best of luck tomorrow. We got this!!!

Wow! My surgery is tomorrow and this is just the inspiration I needed! Thank you!!!! Congratulations on your transformation!

Yes Monday is the day and during a major snowstorm! Ugh! Thank you both for the well wishes!!

I'm going to Jefferson in Philly.

Hi! My surgery is on Monday, March 3. I am excited, nervous and honestly can't wait to be 3 months out! Lol!

Thank you!!!!????

Thank you!!

I am in TR too!

Day 13-PreOp. Weight is the same (down 6) and I'm starting to get a little nervous but more so that I'll go through all this and not end up losing weight. I've been going on other people's sites and see how much weight they are dropping which is helping. Today I will clean my house and get ready for surgery! Happy Saturday everyone!

I'm from Jersey Shore (10 mins from Seaside). Going to be sleeved in 48 hours! ????

Hi! Here is what I think.... Depression is to be expected. If you were using food to fuel feelings and the food is no longer doing that, you will feel a loss which can result in depression. Don't let this overwhelm you! We are all here in these forums because we are all in the same boat. We have all overused food and truthfully, it is not helping us at all. It's expected that you will mess up from time to time but if you allow this, I am sure you will feel worse later. Try harder! 33 pounds is almost 10% of your body weight and that's an enormous achievement! Shake it off and make better choices and in a few weeks when you hit 40 and then 50 pounds, it's going to make you feel better than those cookies ever did! Also, think about how you want to take care of your body. You're only 18 days out of surgery and I am sure that's not helping your healing stomach. You came this far....see it through! We are all here to listen, not judge. Good luck to you! You'll do great-believe in yourself and the process.

Pre-op Day 12-Down a total of 6 pounds. The hospital called me today to give me my time for Monday. It's really starting to sink in now that this is really happening.

Thank you all and congrats to you all too on your journey. I've been using Muscle Milk and I love it! Today's weight was exactly the same!

Heather, from what I've heard, it takes time. Maybe try again in a week. Feel better! ????

Day10-down a total of 5.8! Feeling a bit weak but on w I have my protein shake, I'm ok. 4 days to go! Thank you all so much for your thoughts! I will keep everyone informed day-by-day!

Congrats on your new beginnings!
