I am noticing my complexion is lightening up; all my insulin resistant black marks are disappearing.

I'm 5 weeks out today, and got my 1st period after surgery (which is in schedule). My periods were so irregular, I bled for 2 weeks prior to my surgery, during, and 1 after my surgery.

Surgery: Oct 9

Pre Op weight: 253

SW: 242

CW: 226

Total: 27 pounds gone.

Loving my sleeve.

My date is October 9th too; that's makes us sleeve siblings. I'm not nervous yet, but I know next week I'll be a nervous wreck.

day 1 of the liquid diet.....

Me too

Don't do it!!! I'm 4 months out and only lost 20 pounds. So dizzy and weak' date=' can hardly function. Only thing I can eat is Protein. When I splurge on fruits and veggies, it's at the cost of getting my Proteins in. Even though I live on those disgusting protein supplements, my labs show I'm muscle wasting. I would give anything to have my life back. Being fat is much better than living like this.[/quote']I

I'm sorry you're going thru that and don't know your history, but I'm having the surgery. I would like a healthier life. My eating habits didn't cause me to be this way, PCOS did. Before I made this decision, I was on a road towards insulin shots, BP pills, and spending the rest of my life being a childless mother. So once again I'm sorry you're going thru tough times, but this lady is having her surgery.

Currently at my pre-op appt, and I'm finally getting nervous.

My PCP's nurse gave me a sample of this powdered Calcium +D called UpCal. She orders it from Amazon.

Calcium citrate +D is taken twice a day two hours a part. The liquid Multivitamin I take my B12 with my Biotin. My doctor said to take the multivitamin in the morning. Also drink your Protein Shakes and stay hydrated. Walk walk walk.I have to tell myself lol

I'm October 9th.

Has anyone used the Gastric binder? I saw it on one of the Bariatrics online stores. I'm just curious.

What is Onderland?

Getting into the 100s. I think, but whatever it is I can't wait to get there.

Oh ok thanks

I get them from Walmart. I like the watermelon flavor one. They are 3.5 oz and 42 grams of Protein. Right now drinking one of those and a Protein Shake is the only way I can get my numbers in.

What brand? I need to start stocking up. Surgery is 7 1/2 weeks away.

My date is October 9; I can't wait.

I going for my first one tonight. Will let you know how it goes. Today wasn't a good day for me so hopefully it will pick me up.

I'm sorry to hear that; I hope you feel better soon.

Wonderful news MsBadu!!! It won't be long now. . . My surgery is less than a week away and I'm on pins and needles lol

You'll do great; I'll be saying a prayer for you.

I got the call Friday that my surgery is scheduled for October 2nd. I have a couple more preop appointments and I will be ready. I am so excited! I decided to have the surgery in January so it will be almost 9 months from my decision until my surgery. Anyone else in October?

I'm October 9th, I'm so excited. I went to the seminar in June and did all my tests in July. My insurance company received my paperwork on July 29th and approved on August 1st.

Time to find your favorite Protein shake. Congrats!

Thanks, I know it's less 2 months away but I'll be stocking up soon.

My papers were submitted toy insurance company last Friday. My tentative surgery date is Sept 16. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Fingers crossed, Good luck
