Hey there Short & Sassy! Well i feel pretty darned good this week. I have to say that the scale did not move since the day of surgery but all of a sudden it has pcked up steam. I am walking on the treadmill 20-30 minutes per day and can get all my protien and fluids in now. My staples are out and things are healed pretty well. I did try a different protien powder that made me feel awful on Monday, so went back to the Chocolite which has been the best for me. And how are you? How has your adjustment period been?

Good luck today. Thinking of you. I am here at the hospital gowned and ready.

Had my pre-op last Friday. Signed consents. Spoke with the surgeon and had EKG, Blood tests and Urine test. Everyone does things differently but I am to expect to give myself Lovenox injections for week twice a day after surgery. Never saw anyone comment on that. I don't have any clotting issues, it is just standard procedure for them. All-in-all it went well and I feel better now that it is closer. I am getting nervous!! But Excited! How are you???

Thank you I have been doing much better broke my stall down to 237 now how are you?

Well last night I chewed a piece of steak! I did not swallow it but I chewed that bad boy. Evenings are the worst for me on this pre-op diet. I have my pre-op appointments and testing this afternoon. Any suggestions on questions I should ask? And you? One week from Monday! I am going to get a pre=op pedicure this weekend!

Yes! A toast to us! We are starting the new year with a plan and will both be happy to shed the winter clothes when spring comes and amaze everyone with our fabulous thinner bodies!

Hey there. I am scheduled same day as you are for my surgery. Pre-op liquid diet starts tomorrow! AARRRGGHHH! I am 5'3" and was 232 in July and am at 219 now. Wishing you luck and willing to share this experience with you if you would like.

Hi, I'm doing well still struggling to get all my protein in. But doing okay down another 3lbs this week which is great.

No problem

Hey, how is your journey going so far?
