I have also gained a few pounds and they also tell me it won't hurt my chances however I am still concerned

I met my man on a dating site. .. be careful there are a lot of crazies out there and there is nothing to mention at least until you feel comfortable telling anyone anything about yourself... BTW we dated 5 tears and recently have gotten engaged before surgery .

Thanks everyone. .. I'm scared and hoping this works .. i so want to be healthy and active again

I go for my last NUT and surgeon appointment in 2 weeks.... I am so excited. have been reading and asking my NUT what I will need. so I have 4 HUGE containers of Protein powder which I also got approved from them. I take gummy vitamins now however they recommended flintstone vitamins and so I bought 2 bottles of them plus calcium since I am past 50. I bought a water bottle that has a frozen tube in the center to keep it cold and measures my water intake. If there is anything else please let me know.

I recently have gotten engaged at the age of 54 lol..... we both have been married twice before but know we got it right thus time.. he is my support person along with my daughter. No date yet for sleeve but having last appointment in 2 weeks. Wedding is April 18 2015 on the BEACH. That's where he told me he l 8th me and then later proposed. I am thinking of waiting until 3 weeks before wedding to purchase dress. I am not looking for anything real fancy more of a casual gown or shorter dress.... any thoughts?

I too had the same question..... so asked my NUT. My hair(although I am 54) is past my waist, and very thick. She said if I don't get my protein in the first 3 months I will lose some of my hair. She said it will not show up until after the first 3 months. So will make sure I will get my protein or more in and hope for the best.

Thanks, I truly hope so. I already have my protein shake but need to get a clear protein to add to water. I have a great support team including a new fiancé who wants me to be healthy not just a smaller size. But so worried about this. Most diets have failed for me, but then again I guess that's why I am going for the surgery LOL

My last appointment with the NUT and the surgeon is coming up in 2 weeks. Then submitting to Insurance. Preop labs of Vitamins done and fortunately everything was perfect!!!! I am getting excited but also a little comprehensive. Worried about the surgery since I have never had any surgery before. Worried this won't work for me. What if I don't lose weight??? Any inputs would be appreciated.

where in Maryland are you located

No my surgery will be in Hagerstown at Meritus...... That's where I live although work in Frederick .

excited for you all..... how did it go????? I have one more doctor/nut appointment ,,,,, submit to insurance and the BAAM a new adventure in life. Can't wait

AWESOME...... great Job. You look GREAT

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You sound as if you are doing an awesome job. Keep up the good work

I am wondering the same thing.... I love to cook and entertain...... tonight I have a stuffed chicken breast with low fat ricotta cheese and spinach a quarter of a baked potato with only pepper and garlic and asparagus..... I guess thiswill be out of the question LOL

Hagerstown. Work in Frederick

I am just starting my 3 month diet and would love someone to help me through ..... my daughter is a huge help but the more the merrier

I haven't had mine yet and scared having never a surgery before however I have gained and lost like everybody and I am ready.... I loved attention when thinner a few years back but as far as separating ( I'm not married..... 6 year relationship) I want him to be proud of having me on his arm. He says he is now but I want to share a lifetime with him and that's not going to happen unless I lose the other half of me.

I am very much a newbie at this..... However I do eat healthy with a few bad choices which include creamy dressings on salad s. No chips and junk in my house for years. No tonic. No fried foods.so now working on portions and eliminating things like cheese and creamy dressings. I love SPARK PEOPLE for recipes especially red stuffed peppers with quinoa. And other suggestions are much appreciated

Thanks...... I am trying also to follow my nutritionist , most of my problem is just portion since we have eaten healthy for a while now..... not saying we don't cheat some. I have almost the 1st month of diet finished already. Time is going pretty fast ....

Hello out there...... I have just started the 3 month diet before the sleeve. I have never had any surgery in my life so very apprehensive but need to do this for ME and my health. Any suggestions or hints to get through this including diets before and after I am more than willing to hear.
