Mmm from what I recently just read they are not doing the chat rooms anymore but don't qoute me on that!

BTW I slept awesome last night I did not realize how much I missed my bed from the horrible comforts of the hospital torture device they call a bed. I wake up and weigh myself everyday and I'm sooo happy I did this. I have no regrets. I'm glad I can just say this in good terms we are all LOSERS!

@@AFmom I also can't nearly get in enough water or liquids. I don't know if you are aware but some people have smaller sleeves then others and that might be causes their restrictions. I noticed that my doctor said he gave me the smallest sleeve he could so I could have a high weight loss success rate. Just a thought. I would not concern yourself with it as long as you don't ruin yourself with slider foods you should be fine and lose weight at a continuous and healthy rate!

My sexy ladies...I literally just got home From Mexico. I had my surgery on Monday and I'm not having any problems at all which is AWESOME. I'll agree that I'm sick of the broths but eh who cares it is not forever. I'm glad to see all my ladies in the post op. I have lost 8lbs since surgery and feel awesome. I'm able to sleep in bed but I have to put a pillow under my belly so it does not hurt my stitches. YAY! keep up the good work!

@@shawnee1973 depending on the type of surgery,,,,scope or larger incision which since they have scopes already in sure they will go that way 1-2 hrs and gastric sleeve is about 45-1hr within its self.

@@mduffield Im SOOOO excited for you! Yay make sure you let us know how post op went! Good luck and I will be sending you my good vibes!

Hey Ladies and if there are any gents which I have not seen yet...I hope everyone is having an awesome day.. Three days to go then I'm leaving and 4 days til surgery. Phew I'm starting to get nervous or its just excitement or both who knows. I hope one of you awesome ladies has started the post op forum I want to go and search for it so I have some where to immediately go! Stay strong!

Good luck to all you guys who are having surgery this week. I'm super excited for you and wish you the best of luck with recovery!

We'll make it a point to make a Post Op January Sleevers thread so we can cheer each other on. I can't wait to here how everything went for everyon. Makes me super excited when you guys succeed!

Wow I leave in 5 days and surgery is in 6. I'm def not hungry anymore and I'm grateful cause it will make the last week of this pre op diet that much more easier. I'm so happy that we are all having our surgery this month, I will be going to the post op forum once my surgery is done and hope that you guys are there and keep us all updated on your progress. I will admit that I'm seriously tired of the protein shakes and will be glad when I do not have to drink them anymore. Its getting old quick and I just want to eat something that is not sweet and maybe something that is more bland to be honest.

I def will I have yet to take my before pic...barf but I'm going to do it the day before I leave and then I will post one every month for a year! I can't wait!

I'm leaving in exactly a week wow it is getting REAL!

I'm glad to see so many people are going to Mexico and are confident with their choices. I'm just sad hardly anyone is going to Mexicali I guess Tijuana was safer but the woman who inspired me to finally get this done went to Mexicali and I just felt that I wanted to go there too. 9 days to go! So close now!

I"m super jealous of all the pre op diets that have a solid food dinner. I have three to four protein shakes a day and I do broths in-between. I don't intake any caffeine just decaf hot teas and anything else that is sugar free to drink. If I get tired of the protein "shakes" I drink a lil bit of a protein drink that taste a lil sweet to change it up! 13lbs down. I don't look or feel different but I guess I was expecting so much more.

Happy New Years to all you January Sleevers....This is OUR month and I'm so excited we get to start our new year out with our feet finally walking in the right direction. I was doing so good on the water and somehow feel off the wagon I think it is because the water had been tasting funny to me but otherwise I guess I'm surviving as best as I can and luck is also on my side because my time of the month is normally when the surgery was suppose to be but I got it today...THANK goodness that would of just been something I would not have wanted to deal with only a week and 4 days left for me and I'm super ready! Have an awesome day ppl!

Welcome to being a january sleever! yay so excited for you! Good luck and I'm sure you'll go great!

@@Jlkhollins Welcome to being a January Sleever and try to be scared. It is scary of course but focusing on that just is going to stress you out and who needs that right. Glad you have the mind set to start your eating early cause it is just not an easy one but of course things get easier as time goes on and I'm sending you the best of luck on your new journey from band to sleeve!

Well today wasn't so bad but I did manage to keep busy and I have my husband sharing the cooking duties with me. I think I just need to do as much possible to keep mental occupied not just physically. I just can't wait to go and have the surgery so i'm not HUNGRY! and feel full. The problem is that my stomach is still in the larger range of food intake and can tell that I haven't eaten much. So it will be a huge relief to know that if I eat and it is not a large amount it will be enough for me to feel full and satisfied for a longer period of time.

I'm so excited for you and can't "weight" pun intended to get into that range! WELL done and I hope you have an awesome new year!

You are correct you need a passport card or book to travel across the border. I had a relative who did not have either and could not pass over the border with their birth certificate in hand only !

I just got back from the grocery store UGH talk about hard to to. Only my second day on the liquid only diet and it was killer. I had to buy the food and my kids both had chicken nuggets while I was shopping, I had to get my husband to push the cart so I wouldn't have to see the food in the cart and smell my kids food, It was brutal. I'm actually starving it is not just head hungry but I'm hoping that in a day or two the headaches will subside and my stomach will shrink and the hungry will be less noticeable! 2 weeks til surgery yay!

thanks for the info always looking for a deal when it comes to the shakes!
