@@Chrystee I'm already on it i had a premier shake for lunch and i just had some carrots. Dinner will be my whey protein shake.....

oh my march sleevers my original date was March 30th I just got a call from the surgical nurse asking me do i want to push my date up or it will have to be pushed back. OF COURSE I PUSHED UP A WHOLE 5 DAYS now I'm march 25th my concern was the pre-op i was supposed to start on Monday the 16th now i will be starting tomorrow. i know i hear alot of people saying they only do one week so everything should be ok being that the surgeon himself called me and said its ok just a lil nervous. ANY FEEDBACK YOU GUYS CAN GIVE WILL BE AWESOME

@@Spicy06 I am so happy that you are doing ok and all is well thank god. rest up

Thank you to whomever started this topic. I am 46 going thru pre menapause and was a little worried about my age. You all have inspired me and made me feel better about my decision. So I guess i will be a grandma who will turn into a hot glam ma. I like the sound of that Thank you to whomever started this topic.

Hey @@MaryC94 I start my liquid diet also on the 16th and my surgery is the 30th as well. I finally found someone on here with the same date as me. Have skinny dreams I have.

I start my liquids on the March 16th. Good luck to everyone...

I think we all through the obsession stage i know i did. I watched every video i could find. Read every story then a friend told me about this site. I try not to think about my surgery is right around the corner. March 30th will be here before i know it. All i can think about now is soon i wont be shopping in Lane Bryant or Ashley Stewart, now I'm looking in stores that i would not dare to go in. I'm excited thinking about being healthier thinner with a little sexy. It truly has been a long six month period in this six month period i have come to just love me for me and begin a new journey taking care of me. Good luck to everyone on this journey and even though i don't know any of you personally I THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR COMMENTS AND ADVISE IT TRULY HELPS.....we are truly in this together....

Welcome @vixen1978 Unfortunately I had to wait the six month period also. You will find yourself on information overload. You will find yourself prepared at home 2 months prior to the surgery date. The great thing is by the time your surgery date comes up you should have every answer you could think of answered. Just remember everyone's situation is different make a list and when you speak with your surgeon, nut and phys you should have all the questions you need to get you started. You will gain a lot of information here and good luck to you. My date is March 30th and it seems like it will take forever to get here

@@stacy458 I'm sorry I know that your upset I WOULD BE FOR SURE that xtra week will surely put u ahead keep your head up and yes vent don't keep it in. We all are here for you.

@@Spicy06 i feel you that's all i can think about i start my liquid diet on March 16th remember skinner healthier you.... you can do it

Good Morning All the March sleevers we are all going on a journey as i like to call a journey of a new me and a new you. I'm scared to death because we hear horror stories and some great ones also. I decided to take my journey with the good the bad and the indifferent because as i keep repeating someone told me to think of it as a skinner and healthier you. We all have thoughts that throw us off but this site was created so we all could be in the know and support each other. Lets keep doing that. I'm March 30th my date is after all of you so guys please keep me posted on your journey.... Everyone have a great day

@@brandymcd @@Christadi congrats to both of u

@@nymetzfan11 you can do this push those thoughts away. I let those same thoughts get the best of me and cancelled my surgery last year along with all the people that was pushing negative thoughts in my head. But in the meantime my health was getting worse. This time around I didnt tell anyone who had negative thoughts, i gravitated to all those who was behind me and pushing me to do better. I hear from everyone that the first week of liquid is a killer STAY STRONG IT WILL GET BETTER.....I MAY NEED YOU TO TELL ME THAT IN 3 WEEKS WHEN I START MINES.... KEEP THINKING OF THE SKINNER YOU AND THE HEALTHIER YOU!

IGNORE THE ALIEN Someone told me this keep thinking of a skinner and healthier you. By the end of this week it should be just a bad memory i hope....Stay Strong!!!

@spicyo6 we are here to support each other when it gets crazy reach out to me thru the messenger and we will vent scream together. WE CAN DO THIS WE CAN AND WE WILL!!!

@@Spicy06 I AM EXTREMELY NERVOUS some one said to me dream about a skinnier you and it will be ok. I want this really bad so its do or die time. I have to roll with the punches....

Thank you @@soon2besleeved i will try them

No matter what you do everyone has an opinion I've already told myself when theses questions come up i will have to say very nicely thanks for your concerns i have to try this for me. In the future please keep your opinions to your self. I let everyone give me an ear full 2 years ago which stopped me. NOT THIS TIME AROUND MATCH 30TH....

Congrats JoJo keep up the great work.

I totally understand not telling anyone. I was supposed to have the surgery 2 years ago went thru the process and all appts. My family and friends was not supportive and everyone had an opinion that this is horrible idea you can do it on your own i will help you 2 years later ive lost 8 pounds with the same medical issues that i started with. My surgery date is March 30, 2015 and i cant wait excited and nervous, I'M DOING THIS FOR ME! This time around I only told my boyfriend and my children with 3 other family members who was supportive. @@Dualstarr I hope all goes well for you. I learned my lesson the first time around and I refuse to let anything or anyone stop me to my road of being healthy looking and feeling great. I ALSO FOUND EVERYONE WHO WAS AGAINST IT HAS NEVER EVER BEEN OVERWEIGHT!
