[Divadee35 47]

Well May 7, has come and gone! My surgery was a success..I'm home recovering and can tell I'm not connected to the I'V with the Tylenol and the morphine pump! I haven't been hungry, I'm full of fluids! I had to sleep on my couch, my bed was not comfy! How is everyone else doing?

Hello all! Mysurgery is scheduled for May 3rd in Tijuana with Dr Valenzuela at Hospital MI Doctor. She only required me to do a 7 day pre op diet but none the less I am currently climbing the walls. I never imagined how hard this would be. Lol. But it will all be worth it!!!

Good luck to you all!!!!

Just checking on you, how did it go? How are you feeling?

Hello I'm scheduled for May 7th with Dr Lopez in Tijuana. The pre op diet has been a night mare leaving me feeling like a total failure having to quite smoking and a liquid diet has made me a complete grump.

Hi, I no the feeling. were u able to stop smoking? I stopped 2 days before the surgery & went back the day after ughhh. It's very hard but I will try to stop again for good some day.

I'm scheduled for May 8th. Nerves are all over the place! Been on pre op diet since April 25th, and have lost 7lbs, trying to make it to Thursday,just get lightheaded at times, drinking Vitamin Water zero for electrolytes. "I really can't believe I'm doing this", which from what I've read, goes through most everyone's mind. I pray for all of us who take this bold step! Sending positive thoughts your way!

Hi, sooo yesterday was your day. Welcome to the loser's bench. How did it go & how are you doing today?

Thank you! Surgery was a breeze, only problem was coming out of anesthesia (norm for me), my biggest complaint: GAS PAINS! Ugghhh!

Wow, this is making me feel good reading how you are doing so good after the surgery. Today is my birthday and my gift is coming on the 15th. I've been so busy that I didn't remember it until I saw the calendar today, I have been getting cards but still forgot. I don't even get my 40 grams of carbs a day so I will have a real skinny liver. The month is not over so good luck to the rest of may sleevers!

Today is the last day of my full liquid diet and I start 1 week of Clear liquids prior to surgery on the 14th. I go for all of my preop testing tomorrow morning so I'm excited to be getting close. I lost 8.8 lbs since last Wednesday by gained a couple back today so that was extremely discouraging. But I'm sure ups and downs are going to happen!

Joybell, you are such a pretty young woman, you will be so happy when its done, I just wish I could have done this 30 years ago, it wouldn't have been mostly for health then. How are you doing with your liquid diet, have you tried making popsicles with your Clear Liquids, the Isopure clear is high in Protein and makes pretty good popsicles. I'll be thinking of you on your day just before mine.

Having my surgery May 19. I had to complete a six month "weight loss" program to have insurance cover the cost. I am so excited the day is almost here! Cannot stop thinking about how I will feel after, how much weight I will loose, and what my new lifestyle will be like!

I am May 19th too !!! Good Luck to us !!

My surgery was May 7, it's not bad, you just have to take it slow! I don't have an appetite though!
