BellaLuce4 261 Posted September 14, 2014 That's so close you can smell it!! I have my endoscopy that day.. How's the pre op diet going? 1st few days were horrible... Lol headache, cranky, hungry. Once that passed I have been really good. I just think that I am soooo ready. I' been thinking about this seriously for 5 years, I went to this doctor 5 years ago and decided not to do the bypass because of my medical issues ( I have Ulcerative Colitis, ugh) now that the sleeve is a proven safe method I jumped back in. Started in May for my monthly visits and now I have 2 days left????. Aren't you just bursting with anticipation. I might actually be able to bend down and paint my toe nails by 2015!!!!

jrahrer71 13 Posted September 14, 2014 My surgery is tomorrow 9/15/14. Started the liquid diet yesterday and had no idea how hungry I would be. I have two active kids that I was running around all day and the headache was crazy. Today is much better. Hanging around the house getting all the laundry done before tomorrow. I'm 42 250 pounds and about 5'7. My goal weight for myself is 155. I would love buddies to keep in touch with as this journey begins!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrahrer71 13 Posted September 14, 2014 I only have to do the two days for pre op. I'm not going to lie it's not a good time. It's doable but be prepared to be hungry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jrahrer71 13 Posted September 14, 2014 I tried some premix broth from costco yesterday and couldn't do it. I might add some Water to it and give it a go. My surgery isn't until 4pm tomorrow! UGH! So excited for you. I am not great at the twitter but I will have plenty of time tomorrow to look into it. Best of luck tomorrow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
