I've been on liquids since yesterday. No 2 week pre op liquids, thank goodness. The 4th was enjoyed with a visit to Coney Island for some fireworks, Nathans hot dog and cheese fries ! I have a 8:30am checkin for 10:30 am start time! Woohoo. May we all have a comfortable and uneventful recovery!

If you don't mind me asking...im going to St lukes...anyone else?

[lulu718 4]

[crisbear 4]

Wow I didn't know methodist did that...my experience at St lukes was great...they made me feel very comfortable...my first choice was brookdale hospital but they made me like I was a bother to them so I switched...and im very happy with it

Good morning my fellow July 8th sleevers.

It's exciting to just have the last three days / last weekend' date=' before our new self. I thought it was going to be difficult staying off all the bad holiday foods, but maybe due to the nerves it has been rather easy. I hope you all enjoyed a nice holiday yesterday.

My mission for this weekend is the following:

pack my bag, still need to get some slippers.

get a massage ( To be as relaxed as possible)

Clean my house really well

And truly just enjoy this special count down with my family. I have a daughter who is 19, who she and I share the same struggle with weight, except I, with the medical problems that come with it. She is very excited for me. Our goal is to start a journey together. Me with my sleeve and she with a strong will. My husband is also very supportive. I hope I can influence my family transition into improved eating habits, so that our family of five can overall improve to better health.

Anyone like to share what their weekend count down must do is?[/quote']

The massage is a great idea! I'm packed for Monday and at this point, I'm just anxious to get to surgery!!! Best of luck to you!

July 9th in New Orleans.

Holy crap this is soon. How are you guys? I was fine all day. It's hitting me now

[lovexciaral 38]

Wow. I can't believe surgery is on Monday. I've been struggling on the two week diet. Like seriously struggling. It sucked!

Clear Liquids all day tomorrow and check in a 6:30 am on Monday.

The clear liquids is not my favorite thing

It's so strange the difference in pre-op diets. But come Monday, we are all in the same place. Beginning a whole new healthier journey. Good luck to my fellow 8'ers! =)

[crisbear 4]

Yes...the clear liquid pre OP diet really sucks...I thought it would be easy...boy was I wrong! I've never seen so many food commercials in my life, but Jello has been a life saver for me

[alene 74]

chicken Soup broth and popsicles have been my favorites. Then after surgery, full liquids.

My time is Monday at 3:30. I think it will be very tough all those hours with nothing to drink. Worst of all, the anticipation and count down.

It's bitter sweet, kind of scared, but looking forward to it.

I think it's Sunday morning! That means our big day is tomorrow! How am I going to not freak out today?
