Awesome!

Wow you are doing fantastic!

I'm May 13th too! I've already had my upper gi. All I have left is my pre-op appt. and meet with my surgeon again, and then my nurse-teach class. Do you have to do a 2 week pre op diet?

Yay!!!! I'm so happy for you. congratulations.

I've only told my husband, sons, one sister in law (because she's had the sleeve done) and reluctantly, my mom (who doesn't think I should do it). I will not tell my brothers, one thinks this surgery is the easy way out and I don't want to hear his b.s. I've decided not to tell friends before the surgery.

Lol I'm eating All the thingz too!

Glad you're home and doing well. Congrats!

Mine is all liquid but I can have a couple servings of fruit and non starchy vegetables a day. It's going to be so hard, but I am ready to get started.

Mine is on the 13th and I'm superstitious, but not enough to change the date. My birthday is on the 28th so getting sleeved will be the best birthday present ever.

I am having food funerals big time. I've gained four pounds or so. I can't stand this waiting. I have to start my 2 week pre-op diet on April 30 and I'm ready to get this party started.

Congrats! I can't wait to be where you are.

Yes, please! I'm afraid that I won't be able to get all my Water in either. I'm just not a big drinker now; can't imagine when my stomach is smaller.

I'm so happy for you. Good luck!

Hi all. I'm 5'1 1/2. My surgery is May 13th. I'm anxious for it to get here already.

May 13th for me

Wonderful post. I'm so happy for you.

Good luck. I'm excited for you.

I really enjoyed reading about your journey. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!! Getting nervous and changing my mind at least 10x a day!! Me too! I'm so nervous that I will be the one who develops complications. I'm also overeating a lot!

jenasp41 and law001 congrats!☆

I'm in South Central Illinois.

Congrats! I'm trying to adjust as well but not doing great on getting my water in every day. I gave up soda 7 months ago and I had to quit smoking. I think giving up soda was harder than the cigs!

Congrats! I totally understand about your excitement and fear. I feel the exact same way. I've read too many stories about things that can go wrong and it worries me. I think that's normal, though, don't you? I've only bought a liquid Multivitamin and Calcium chews so far, haven't bought vit d or b12 yet. I drink Chike almost every day, and I love it! Not only does it taste good to me, but I like the fact that it is a Meal Replacement shake, not just protein, so it has vitamins in it as well. The strawberry is my fave, but I've had them all, and they are all good.

My heaviest weight was 235. I started this journey last Fall but backed out. I wanted to try to lose weight on my own one more time. I was able to lose 25 pounds but am starting to gain some back. I didn't have to do tails only heads. I really wish May was here already.

My surgeon is Dr. Uretz Oliphant; I will be having my surgery in Illinois. Funny you mention Herb-Ox, I am celiac so I had to find gluten free broth and that is the one that everyone recommended. I couldn't find it in the store so I ordered a bunch of chicken and beef off of Amazon. My favorite Protein shake mix is Chike. I've been ordering it for 6 months or so. It tastes really good to me, and it is gluten free. I ordered a bunch of protein samples months ago but haven't really tried many. I'm sure that I will get sick of drinking the same things every day so I would like to find one or two different brands that I really like. I like the syntax because they aren't heavy like normal Protein drinks. The Wild Grape flavor sounds good.
