Im from the Lowell area and getting sleeved on 4/23!!!

So true, I guess I did not think of it that way... we will be on a liquid diet.. duh! Makes total sense. Right now it is hard for me, but I guess I won't worry about not being able to do it.... Thanks for your kind words of wisdom!!! This site has been such a blessing, in calming my nerves and apprehensions!

My surgery is in a month (4/23) I am panicked though because I have always had a drink with me when I eat a meal. I have been trying so hard to quit drinking with my meals, but I get so thirsty!!! Any advice or words of encouragement on how to stop drinking with my meals would be appreciative. I have been caffeine free for the past 2 weeks and going strong. I have been staying under 1200 calories a day, and been hitting the gym hard! (Trying to shrink that liver..lol) I also started taking biotin, vit e, c and b, also some milk thistle to help lower my liver enzymes. So I feel like Im doing good, but drinking with my meals has been SO HARD for me. The thought of having to wait 30 minutes to drink seems like mission impossible to me... lol

I found out this morning that my surgery date was moved up 2 days, so now April 23rd. A month from Saturday!!! I am so scared!!!! I need this badly and know this is the right thing for me but man alive I'm a month out and am so nervous!!! Looking forward though, to dropping those pounds before summer!!! I hit the gym this morning, and started my strength training to prepare my body for the mass exodus of these extra pounds!!!

Mine is April 25th!!! So excited!!!!

Im nervous I'm having this surgery to lose 50 lbs! I am 5'7 and weigh 275. I want to lose at least 120lbs! People i know have been telling me that, that is to high of a goal! I want to prove them wrong! I have PCOS and have been battling with my weight forever!
