Omg...I never thought of that

That is awesome news..I live right by a popeyes and will try them as soon as I am on solid foods..

I am at three weeks and can drink water normally..I even drink through a straw

I was sleeved in 12/28...I am fine...just wish the scale was moving more

I will be praying for all of our stalls to break!

I know exactly how you feel...I only lost weight my first week...I feel like crying every day...I know this is normal but that doesn't make me feel any better

Just had my 1 week post-op and I am 10.5 lbs down from my surgery weight and 30 lbs down from my highest weight!!!

I feel like death warmed over...lol...it impossible for me to get in the amount of liquids at this moment I am trying my hardest

Thank you to everyone

Good luck...I will be headed to the hospital in an hour

I have no advice but am anxious as well...I keep trying to go to sleep so I can wake up and get my surgery in the am. I would kill for a couple bites of actual food...lol

I have my weak moments and moments where I am ok. I will be sleeved on 12/28. I am not nervous but I am anxious to get the procedure done so the weight can start coming off

Omg...I'm so hungry...I see why people cheat so much!

I am also an outpatient. I was surprised to know that they let us just go home 90 minutes after the procedure. I am dying on this preop diet and my coworker has the entire room smelling like burgers and fries...it's going to be a long night...

Dec 28...I am on day 2...so far so good

I was literally in the same boat as you until tues of this week. My surgeons office called me and told me my surgery date is dec 28 and I have been jumping yhrough hoops all week to get this done. Things can happen really fast. I hope you get your date soon.

Oh no...I have a huge stock pile of them in my appt. ..I hope your tastes change back

I am a little bit nervous about the weight I gained after Thanksgiving holiday. I had my last weigh in on 11-19 and did not get approval until 12-11. I called the surgeons office and a rude receptionist told me that my surgeon was booked for the rest of the year. Well, I gained weight after my last real Thanksgiving and have not been able to get any of it off. My surgeon's office called me today to schedule my consultation for 12-17 and I am nervous about how the surgeon will feel about the weight gain. My insurance Anthem does not require weight loss for the surgery. I am freaking out! Should I really be worried about this since I have not yet started my pre op diet? Btw, my surgery is on 12-28.

Sajijoma, that's good advice...I met with my surgeon and will start my preop diet tomorrow

Dear sleeve sister, a dry fast is when you do not eat or drink anything for a set period of time. Please don't ever do this...lol...I will definitely keep in touch...my support system is very small...lol

Man I wish I would have talked to you before I did this crazy dry fast that I thought would help me cur water weight. Although it worked, I felt like it didn't matter. I had my surgery consultation and pre op class today and everything ran smoothly. My surgery date is also on the 28th and I couldn't be happier...best of luck

Idk... I won't find out any specifics until tomorrow

I went to a weight loss center called True Results that helped me fulfill my instance requirements in house instead of going through my pcp. I could not meet my surgeon until I was approved for surgery.

I have yet to meet my surgeon. This us my first time

Omg, my surgery date is dec 28 too!!!! Best of luck!
