So i cant believe this and i had to weigh myself multiple times but i literally have dropped 10lbs since Monday, started liquid diet this week...cant believe it. I stll have 11 more days to go till my VSG, and i cant wait. I thought this was going to be horrible even impossible to do liquids for 14 days but its not that bad. Actually getting more than 64oz of Water a day which indont think i have ever done.

Well, I am 4 days away from surgery and I am at peace not a nervous bone in me. I thought by now I would be a nervous wreck. But I am so ready and determined to start and get this  journey started! Also from I have already lost 20 lbs from my highest weight! Feeling excited!!!!

That's great! I was a little nervous the day of surgery, but all of the nurses, doctors, and the anesthesiologist I talked to before surgery were so great that they put me at ease. Your day will be here before you know it!

Ladies, make sure to wear a sports bra post-op! I wore one all yesterday and took it off before bed and never put it back on. The lack of support was adding pressure to core, making me more sore throughout today. I put it back on a few minutes ago and already feel much better.

I’m January 10th! I was hoping to get mine done over our winter break but it didn’t work out. But I’m happy that I at least got a date!

I had my surgery yesterday. Got home earlier this afternoon. Im up moving and feel pretty good overall.

My core is really sore. Did anyone buy and wear a stomach binder?

I did. I wore it for the first day or two but then found it hurt me more than helped :-)

I am not sure I will be able to wear one because my surgeon is sending me home with a ON Q bulb. He said it will come out my top incision.

Yeah! I had one shake—not going to be able to meet the goal of three, but it's progress!

Had my surgery on Monday, when I came to didn’t know what I had on right away but found the stomach binder hurt but I managed to keep it on for most of my stay to help keep swelling down. Did find more comfort when I did take it off middle Tuesday night
