Follow A Sleever From Day 1 to 1 Year

[Jerziegirl 42]

Day 9. I'm at Jefferson Hospital today for pre-op testing. It's unbelievable to me that this is really happening! Wow! I'm really getting excited! I can't lie, my emotions have some nervousness but mostly I'm getting excited for my new life! I was up 4 ounces today but that's ok! I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing!

Hi JerzieGirl. My date is March 4th. I'm from Philly but having my surgery in Las Vegas. I also had a band which I had removed in November. The plan was to revise at same time but the band had a severe infection so they took it out and closed resulting in my 3 month wait for bypass. I'm sooo excited. This time next week I'll be in Vegas preparing for surgery. Prep hasn't been good for me. Confession: I've been cheating.... ALOT. I woke up this morning and got my mind right so I'll be following the plan until surgery date. It's hard for me to get all the Water in so I downloaded a Water app on my phone that is an alarm to remind me to drink.

I hope you are OK from your Cyst. Wishing you good luck and speedy recovery. I'll follow you since we will be going through the phases at the same time. Now, time to drink some protein!

Thank you!!! Good luck to you too! Try to stick with the plan. The hunger pains do go away. You'll be great!

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!

Hi, Jerziegirl

I'm sure that when I get close to my surgery date, I'll be nervous as well. You sound like you've done a lot of research, you're going to a highly regarded bariatric program and you have planned well for your recovery. You've got this! I can't wait to hear about your continued success. Wishing you all the best!

Hey Jerziegirl,

Good luck tomorrow! Hope your trip to Philly isn't too awful in the weekly storm of the century, and surgery and recovery are smooth as silk.

Thinking of you and everyone who is about to undergo WLS.

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!!

[jdillon 355]

Good luck tomorrow. How exciting! You'll do great!

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! ????

Hope all went well and you're comfortable. You'll be home to your daughter in no time.
