Topic: RE: Last weekend without a sleeve...
Thanks everyone for the wishes and prayers. I leave for the hospital in 15 minutes.
Nervous, excited, and a little sickly in my throat from taking 2 medications with only a teaspoon of water!
Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

Topic: surgery or not
I have been lurking on this forum for a few months now. still very much in the should I or shoudn't I stage of WLS. I have met with Dr Sampath and have all kinds of tests and appointments scheduled in the upcoming months. To those of you having surgery in the coming days please keep this forum (me) updated. It is so incredibly helpful, cannot wait to see/read your journey. I have read and re-read the WLS for Dummies book, but this site is so helpful.

You can do it!!!! It's absolutely amazing how fast the time will fly by and this liquid diet will be over and you're on your way to surgery. Be prepared for the gurgly tummy and diarrhea after 1-2 days (wish that someone had warned me about this before hand!!!).

Topic: RE: 5 Months out
Thanks everyone! My weight loss has spurred my sister to lose 20 lbs too, she went from 195 down to 175 so far. I think the thought of me passing her in weight is getting her motivated to go to the gym and she cut her caloric intake down.

Topic: Day One
Well, it's Day One of my liquid diet. I saw the OT, Dr. You and Nooshin on Wednesday and they all said I am doing great. Dr. You said, "You are amazingly healthy, considering how unhealthy you are!". I laughed.
So today is Day One. Last night my sister, her husband and I went to my "Last Supper" and now here I am, on the path to my new life.
Step One...Day One. I can do it!
