Congratulations on your surgery and good luck to you!!

Congrats and good luck!!!!

Me too Kelli!!! I am so excited! I've lost 7 pounds in the first 5 days of this 2 week pre op diet!!!! I can't wait for April 11th!!

I just wanted to say, I feel your pain. I, too, am married to "the chip guy"... lol. Congratulations on you sleeve and good luck!!

Congratulations Sarah!! That is AWESOME!!!!! So proud of you!!

This sucks... No other word for it. My surgeon requires two weeks, not really a liquid diet, but I had to buy meal replacements from his office. Right now I am eating some kind of pudding. This morning I had a little packet of some kind of cereal with 4oz of skim milk (that's the only milk in the two week diet - 4 oz at breakfast). Maybe it will get better in the next few days, but I'm not really optimistic. I have to have 6 of the meal replacement packets a day. In between, I can have anything zero-calorie and sugar free. It specified jell-o but the only sugar free jello I found had 10 calories in a serving, so I guess thats out. I stocked up on Crystal Light, and I am trying to find the flavor syrups I have seen everyone talking about on here, but they didnt have them at our grocery store. I WILL GET THROUGH THIS, BECAUSE IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT IN TWO WEEKS WHEN I GET MY SLEEVE!!!!!!

I start the liquid diet on Monday and I am kinda nervous about it! But I am so excited, 2 weeks until surgery!!!! WOOHOO!!!

I am an April 11th sleever!! On that particular post of the person you want to friend, on the left side where is shows the status, etc., there is a little icon with a green plus sign (if you aren't friends). Click the plus to add as a friend. If you are already friends with that person, it will be a red minus sign. Clicking on the minus sign will remove them as your friend. I already added you!!!

I am kinda in the same boat. My liquid diet starts Monday the 28th (surgery is the 11th), so I told my dear hubby we have to eat all my favorites all weekend Good luck to you, I will be watching your posts since we will be close to the same schedule!!

Congratulations!!

Thanks for the info he'll be glad to know its not too long!! lol

I am scheduled to have surgery on April 11th and I don't see my doctor again until March 29th. My husband has a question/concern that he says just won't wait until then. How long after the surgery until we will be able to have sex again? We are newlyweds (7 months)...

I think you should wait. That's just my personal opinion and what i think i would do in that situation. Either way, good luck to you!!! And let us know what you decide to do, my date happens to be April 11th too!!!

Congrats on your sleeve and good luck on your journey!!! My surgery is April 11th and I can't wait to start my own journey!!! Keep us posted on you progress!!

WOW!!! That's all I can say - WOW!!! What an inspiration to all of us!! CONGRATS!!!

What an inspiration!!! I am new to the site and just got a surgery date last week (April 11th). I was excited before but seeing all the success stories and your AMAZING before and after photos, my excitement just doubled!! Congrats to you on all your hard work!

Surgery scheduled for April 11th with Dr. Jones in Arkansas! Can't wait

1. Mind-blowing sex with my husband 2. Buying regular-sized, cute clothes 3. Having the energy to play outside with our kids 4. Riding in an airplane (never done it, fear of being embarrassed by not fitting in the seat) 5. Riding on ALL the amusement park rides! Haven't ridden any since high school!! My surgery is April 11th and I can't wait!!!!

That's awesome! That's three of us that I know of that are April 11th!

I am a little nervous about being on the diet for two weeks, but I keep telling myself 2 weeks is nothing because the sleeve is for the rest of my life!! Two weeks will be worth it!

So excited for you!! I just got my date yesterday (April 11), start the dreaded diet on March 28. Now I can't wait!!!! I can't wait to start the diet, can't wait to be as close as you are to having the surgery!!! YOU ARE ALMOST THERE!!

Congrats!!!

I am about to embark on the journey of a lifetime!! I found out last week that my insurance approved me to have gastric sleeve surgery. I found out this morning that my surgery is scheduled for April 11th. Exactly one month from today. I am so ready, yet I am very nervous too. I have to start the liquid diet on March 28th (yuck...) and get an EGD on March 29th. I am 32 years old. I have 2 biological kids, and two step kids. I have been married to the most amazing husband and best friend in the world since August 19, 2010. At my heaviest, I was 287 pounds. That was July of last year. Today, I weigh 254 pounds. I am 5'3" tall. Having this surgery is like starting a whole new life! And I can't wait to begin!!

This is my first time on this site. Just registered this afternoon. Your post is the first post I read, and coincidentally enough, my surgery date is April 11th!! I just got it confirmed this morning. I am SO excited, but a little nervous. I have to do 2 weeks of the liquid diet I also have to have an EGD on the 29th. Good luck to you!!!!
