Good luck to all the July 1st Sleevers!!!! Hopefully all are in there rooms not in too much pain!!!

Anyone go through BMI group with doctor Joyce and Doctor layman ? I wanted to know what your pre-op diet consisted of? I'm having surgery there on 7-22 and I'm such a freak and want to prepare myself a head of time!

HI, Good Luck to you too! so excited to have buddies to share this with and swap stories and any good recipes we may come across.

Hi Faifie July 18th is almost here. How are you doing? When does your pre-op diet start? And what does your consist of? I just realized today that next week is July and almost peed myself> excited and nervous. LOL

hi Donna I have a 4 hr nutrition class beginning of July, but it is 4 protein shakes and 3oz meat with Veggies for dinner. you can also have sugar free jello. If anything is different after class i will let you know. are you going with BMI surgery? Dr Joyce or Dr Lahman?

Well I have broken the seal and am now down to 297. Never to see 300 again!! Thank you everyone who motivated me and commented. It helps a lot to keep me on track. I have continued walking and am working on 3 miles 5 days a week this week. I almost had it yesterday but I got down poured on and had to get a ride home. Boo!!! I am going to attempt it again today. I am having some doubts today about having surgery. I found myself thinking I can do this w/out surgery I am doing it now. But then I remember that I will do this for a few months drop weight and then BAM fall off . This is why I need this surgery!!! I need the sleeve to get over that hump and not fall. I am guessing that a lot of people have doubts before surgery. I am 27 days away from surgery and still can't believe how fast the time is going by.

Hey Karen when us your surgery date and when is your nutrition class . I go June 9th for the nutrition class .

Oh my that's the same hospital I thought it was Joliet ! Lol I'm having mine with Dr Joyce. So cool to have a buddy from the same place.

Hi Kamero I live in Brookfield. I'm having my surgery at silver cross in Joliet. Good luck to you also. Where are you having your surgery?

Wow you look awesome! Great work and success I pray I'm as successful! My surgery is July 22nd

Hi Shari I'm July 22nd too! Love that song!

Hi my name is crystal I'm scheduled for July 22nd. So excited and nervous ! I have 2 weeks of pre op diet 4 protein drinks a day and meat and veggies at night . I started my journey in dec 2012, at 318 today I'm 300 trying so hard to get out of 300's before surgery. I am getting my unbiblical hernia fixed at the same time hoping that doesn't make recovery harder. I'm in Illinois about 20 mins outside of Chicago having surgery done at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet

Hi Irene that would be great! Where are you from? I'm in Illinois about 20 mins outside of Chicago. I'm 34 yrs old and have two girls and married 12 yrs

Hi My name is Crystal I am scheduled for surgery on July 22nd. I am looking for a buddy who is getting sleeved around that time.

Hi pinkow100- My name is Crystal and my surgery is 7/22 I took 3 weeks off hoping that will be enough. I have read a lot of posts on this and everyone is different but seems 3 weeks is average. I know most people are still tired and don't have a lot of energy but seem to either go back 1/2 days or go to sleep early at night. I work in an office so I sit most of the day also so I am hoping that it won't be too bad. Good luck with Surgery!!!

Awesome job!!!! Congratulations!!!

You aren't a freak, this has been the ONE thing I have been so worried about myself . I am praying i get it before surgery so I don't have to freak out.

I am from Brookfield, IL . My husband was born in Ft. Collins Colorado. Still haven't been to visit he has been wanting to for year. Maybe next year we will. You aren't being affected by the fires are you? My prayers go out to all that are. Good Luck with your surgery. I hope this time is the final time for you.
