I start my liquid diet tomorrow too. I tried to eat everything I liked but I wasn't hungry. Wth! I'm ready for my journey to start.

I am May 7th! I start my two week Pre-Op Diet TOMORROW!

Hey ladies. I'm also scheduled for may 20. How exciting!!

May 20th as well! Yay !!

my world changes May 14..congrets on everyone else..

I'm also may twentieth. Yay. They days and counting

May 20th for me in Houston,Rd. We are almost there.

Surgery was December 10, 2012 surgery weight was 379, as of yesterday April 19, 2013 current weight is 277.

That's great!! A coworker told me that I looked like I was losing weight. Even though I AM, I still don't see it because I'm still quite heavy. But she said she could really notice it in the face. Then she patted her own double chin and said, "But maybe I only notice it so much because I'm jealous". She's a friend, and it felt good to actually have someone NOTICE! Can't wait til I lose even more so EVERYONE notices! Myself included!

Hello All,
Super excited that I found this group... I am 25 years old and have been considering weightless surgery for years. I started in Feb 2013 on my journey and there have been so many bumps in the road. Currently I am on a Quest to lose 30 pounds before my surgery will give me a set date for my sleeve....I am currently doing 5 Protein Shakes and 1 healthy choice meal for dinner.... I have an amazing husband who has been completing this diet with me but I am scared that I won't be able to follow it for 6 weeks let alone lose the 30 pounds I need to. Just really looking for advice and support!!!!

So glad we have a safe support system with out all the judgement. WLS has been given such a "bad" reputation, why I'm not really sure. But most in our cmmunity speak of it as "that" surgery. I really think there is so much ignorance about all this life change requires/brings/demands and changes and improves that most would say this is not the "easy" way out. And why such a stigma to doing something to give you a better quality of life, potentially saving your life! So a big thank you for sharing your story, your comments, goals and even short comings. 37 days and counting. And I'm striving to not feel any type of "shame" about MY decision for MY life!

May 13th here (: congrats !

Congratulations, I'm so waiting for my date.. but by my timeline estimation (and the fact I'm going on a cruise for a week) I'll be a June sleever.
Best wishes to you on your jouney,
jt.

I'm too excited the new me begins on May 6th!!!!!! I can't believe this is actually going to happen. Yay!

Howdy fellow nurses and sleevers! Had my sleeve 4-9 and came home today4-11. I think it went well, no nausea, pain was ok, had a morphine c\pca but didn't use it that much. Still on clears until tomorrow.

Hey all! I was recently sleeved April 1.. felt like my normal self since day 9 as far as pain is concerned and not being able to eat a lot at all. Started soft foods Monday. Made two scrambled eggs for Breakfast and only got half in before I was stuffed.. I couldn't believe it In addition to my sleeve, I also had my gallbladder removed and a hernia in my chest repaired!

No pre-op diet
Best decision I have every made for myself. Good luck to everyone and a speedy recovery!

May Sleever!! Dr. Rod in Juarez MX on May 10.
Heaviest Weight 296
Current Weight 270
Goal weight 140-150?
My mini goals....
I dieted down to 256 in 2007 when I temporarily seperated from my no good husband... so I would love to see that in May!!
I was 240 when I married the SOB so that goal and will take me back to 2004.
I was 205 when I meet the SOB , so that goal will take me back to 2002.
(Do you see the trend of undoing some mistakes here???)
I havent been to ONEderland for 20 years... super excited about hitting that goal!
And at the end of it, I should weigh the same as I did when I was 15 years old, and met the darling man I am with today - who loves me thick or thin. :wub:
Hey Beth is your cover photo on Facebook tropical drinks? I could only find one.. hoping it is you?
P.S. Im in Ontario Canada, and I will blog here a couple times a month so those that are interested in my journey and my incredible wit can follow along!

OK May Family,
My paperwork has been submitted to my insurance with a May 17th date... Im super excited and i wont say im not nervous because my last 2 weeks of anxiety tells me different... But I am READY!!!
Highest weight: 344
current weight: 338
Goal: no highblood pressure/no cholesterol/no diabetes/ xl shirt, LOL!

Hi,
My tentative date is on May 14 at NYU Langone with Dr. Kurian.

Hi May Sleevers! I am finally scheduled for May 7th!! I am very excited. Current weight is 267. Goal is 150. I WILL make that goal. What an awesome journey this is going to be!

I am scheduled for May 6...currently I am 270 and my personal goal is 150...I am always amazed at the different pre-op protocol among surgeons...I am self-pay so I had no insurance requirements, and my dr does not require any kind of pre-op diet other than the day before surgery (clear liquids after light breakfast)...I am very nervous about the surgery and living with the sleeve, so I welcome all the support I can get

Hi everyone. I had surgery on 4/8. So far doing good. No major pain or nausea or vomiting. Yesterday I got in about 45gm Protein. I also had a small hernia repair. I still have a slight heavy feeling in my throat. It may be gas still. Hopefully all will continue to be well.

One month yesterday and feeling great. Hit a stall at week 3 but scale moving is
