Ugh that has to be frustrating a little, but there are a bunch of us on that day too lol... sorry but also at least it is just one day right. I have been on the phones with my dr office today because they are making sure they have all the dr.'s reports and clearances of course I left my binder at home so a little frustrated! I think I am second one going back on the 6th I have to be a the hospital at 5:30am for 7:30am procedure but I believe they sometimes take 6:30am patient... I mean it is in fives days basically!

2018 Sleeves & PCOS/Fertility Issues
paddyski replied to danieocean's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have PCOS, and struggled with fertility for years... I conceived with IVF prior to this surgery but complications for PCOS have made this surgery needed. You are doing a great thing for yourself, and I just wanted to say good luck with your journey and congrats on the house! -
5 days!!! hope it flies by! I am good thanks, not losing anything this week so far which is strange but still going strong! you are killing it though20 since liquids is amazing!!
-
Congrats!!! So excited for you!
-
Welcome! You are strong! I am not sure I could do a four week fast! that is impressive!
-
Tomorrow is NOVEMBER!!!! and I know we have a few that are scheduled for tomorrow! Good luck you got this!!!
-
Welcome and Congrats!!

Enjoy your time now and just keep preparing I remember thinking omg I ready already and thinking everything was moving really slow but it didn't it moved pretty fast in the end, and I am feeling pretty good with the prework I have done, and I think also during the two week prep seeing the scale move a little faster is also pretty motivating. Thanks for the luck! I will keep you all posted!
-
I drink something warm when this happens for me and it usually is pretty ok after that! can you believe it is single digits!! Woo hoo!
-
just ordered my last round of shakes, and made child care arrangements next Tuesday can't believe it is here soon!
-
hope the bday party was fun, and I think there are a lot of people whose plans include some actual lean protein, but I think it was awesome that you knew your limit and prepared that in itself is a pretty great goal. I can't believe I am losing at all on this preop diet, I literally never lose weight so it is building up hope that all of this will work since I have started to now it has been 24lbs.... I am amazed and my thought of what would be nice for myself was 275 pre surgery I am holding strong at 276.4 so hopefully this next week it will be achieved.
-
Good Luck!! I am excited for you! I think do what will make you comfortable for Turkey day, I know for me in class they said by January day of your surgery they lift all restrictions so for me January 6th and so I am going to miss holiday grub this year and I am ok with that. I wasn't really planning any monitoring type things other that scale... but I do have a skirt and a dress in my closet I have never worn that maybe I will keep an eye on... good luck!
-
Your 2 week prep is pretty similar to mine! I am loving cucumbers and peppers!
-
I am day 4 today.... I FORGOT MY SHAKES Lol it is okay though I found a protein water in the car and will make do with that plus I am leaving early, Anyway just wanted to let you know I am on day 4 today and my headaches are gone 1st two days were tough each day out gets a bit easier! I am on the 6th and so I will see you on the losers bench!!
-
You will do great!! Good luck!
-
You got this, I was hoping that day 4 would be easier for you! my husband keeps saying it will all be worth it... lol I know he is right but at the moment I am just going day by day! I am fearing the weekend because I don't want to too much downtime to focus on my hunger you know?

Hi There- my presurgical testing was to go over procedure, sign some forms ask questions, and go over medical history. Then they looked at my last labs and ordered some updated ones. I think it lasted about 20 minutes because I had a lot of questions lol.
