So everything is all set. Surgery is paid for (well I have the cash so to speak) The flights are booked and in 14 days I'll be in Puerto Vallarta and in 16 days I will have my sleeve. My husband keeps asking me if I'm excited. I'm not sure how I feel. All of a sudden time is moving so quickly. I will say I am not excited about the two week liquid pre-op diet. Yuck. Although I finally found 2 protein drinks I can drink without gagging. PVL mango peach cooler and PVL peanut butter chocolate shake. The shake is kinda sweet but its good if its really cold. I also made jello with the cooler in it and its pretty good. I suck at following strict diets but I guess if I want this surgery I'm gonna have to suck it up for at least the next 5 weeks. Then mushies Mmmmm (yuck) I think I will live on cream of wheat, yogurt, apple sauce, jello, and mashed potatoes. Pureed meat just sounds disgusting. I'm pretty nervous about surgery not because of where it is but because there are things that can go wrong with any surgery and I'll admit I'm a bit of a wuss. I have a bad shoulder and back and I am more terrified of the pain caused by the build up of gas than anything else. Okay enough of that. Time to think positive I'm gonna be one of those people that are out shopping as soon as they're release from the hospital. positive attitude is half the battle right. So I can't believe I'm actually gonna do this but here is my absolutely awful before pic. NO prettying it up. Be Kind.

Okay ... so maybe I'm weird, but you don't look that big. On a lighter note - my ex-sister-in-law (we married brothers but I divorced mine) just had this done by the same doc in MX. She sucks at the strict diet thing too, but is doing famously. You will too! MOTIVATION!

Thank you, and I'm glad your sister is doing well.I'm pre diebetec, have asthma and PCOS. The PCOS makes it very hard if not impossible to lose weight. My body can't afford me getting any heavier. I have about 78lbs to lose to be at a healthy BMI.
Aaaah! The PCOS explains ALL dahling. My ex-sister-in-law has it as well. Good luck!!!!
Hey Sleeve Sister best of luck to an uneventful surgery and to healling quickly. We should stay in touch.
