Hi December WLSers!

Thinking of you today hope all is well!

Woot Woot!! VSG Day for me is 12/22/14!! Lots of us will be on the loser's bench!!

Hello,

I am new to this site. I will be having surgery on Dec. 10th! I am so nervous and I'm starting to develop "cold feet".

My surgeon requires you to take a class. They went over everything. I had cold feet too. That was a week ago. She went through everything. There were 2 of us in the class and we were allowed all the time needed to ask our questions. I wasn't afraid of the surgery but the food change. I learned I can eat wherever my family does I just have to pick my proteins out. So even a grilled chicken sandwich at McD...I can eat part of that grilled breast. That set my mind at ease...I thought I was on boring shakes and bland food forever.  Good luck on your journey and I hope you find the courage and the information to set your mind at ease. 

Hi Bellz,

I had that pre-op class also. It was a little over two hours. It was very informative, but the closer I get, I develop that nervous feeling. I'll get it together though. It is still an exciting time for me. Thank you for your kind words.

Thinking of you as your surgery draws near.  Best Wishes for an easy recovery 

I'm having sleeve surgery on Dec 10.  Really only made my final decision last night.

Hi!

So we have the same surgery date, that's cool. What time is yours? I have an 8am slot, with check-in at 6am. Omg, the big day is right around the corner.

Hi, I was wondering how you were recovering? I had to stay 3 extra days due to an illias (my insides took a longer nap than the rest of me). I am still quite tender so I am giving myself til Saturday to rest and lounge around. I have it figured that on New Years Day I will be able to eat real food again. (not the liquid diet).   So exciting!! Hope this finds you well :)

Yes December 2nd, Tomorrow!! Nervous energy and excitement. I have been on the liquid diet since last monday and have lost 11 pounds just from that. I don't mind this at all. I am actually surprised. Maybe I feel better because all the toxic foods aren't clogging my digestive tract. I am so new to this place that I have no idea how to make the fancy stuff yet- like the tickers...but I am here with you and ready to join this journey with my fellow December WLS life changers
