thank you I'm doing well just can't get those 48oz in.
Work up to the 48! I have to get 64 and right now I get about half that

I have a cup that keeps track of each 8 oz that I drink and when all eight lights are lit up signalling that I've reached my goal of 64 oz. It even plays a congratulatory melody. It also beeps if I haven't taken a sip in an hour. Google MyHydrate ifinterested in purchasing one. Really helps me stay kn track.

I'm scheduled for 7-21 !! I'm beyond excited, I started the process on January. Today is my first day on my 2 week liquid diet and I found this place online because I'm looking for support.

I'm in my recovery room which turned out to be private anyway. Tomorrow I'll try and post a play by play for everyone, but just checking in to say I'm all good !

My surgery date is 7-21-16. I made it through the first day of the pre-op diet. I had a cup of coffee this morning but not a second one. I also didn't have my usual Diet Coke. I have been yawning all day & can't wait to go to bed! I thought this would be worse but I made it through today! Yay me!

Greetings fellow sleevers - pre and post!

I'm starting my list of items to pack for the hospital and thought some of you might have additional ideas.

1. myself

2. chap stick - dry lips

3. pillow - helps getting up and is a buffer between stomach and seatbelt on the ride home

4. GasX strips

5. A book

Any other ideas or suggestions? I'm all ears :)

Some additional ideas from a YouTuber:

Gentle bra

Light comfy clothing for ride home

hair ties

Makeup

Shampoo/conditioner

Laptop/ipad

Scope/toothbrush/paste

Goodmorning everyone! Sending good vibes and prayers for everyone who has surgery today and this weekend! This is the best decision we could have made for ourselves . I'm now 3 days post op and so happy to be waking up in my own bed! I was able to meet my 64 Fl oz and 40 grams of Protein yesterday . If you guys are looking for a good protein that will help you meet your liquid goals as well.. I would recommend Isopure as it's 20 fl oz and 40 grams of protein all in one bottle! They have pretty decent flavors and are on sale at GNC (Buy 3 get one free) . Blue raspberry is my favorite . Sorry if I'm super excited but I can't wait to see where all of us are in 3-6 months!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
