Cooked carrots I bet are going to taste amazing! Warm and soft! I hope they were wonderful!

Newtree, I only had a week of preop diet. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I did lose some weight during that time, but not a ton. You can do this. I could have all the pickles/broccoli & cauliflower I wanted. So after my meals of what I had to eat, I'd have a bowl of those things

Thanks Graciesmom04! I have 16 days left! Friday was rough... it really was but Saturday was a new day and I feel more in control now! How are you doing?

AWESOME!!!! We are all going to be sleeve sisters!!! The weather here in KS has been crazy... one day super nice the next day snow! never know what you are going to get!

Have you started your pre op yet kdt23?

What about you Nikkidoodlebug, have you started your pre op yet?

I have to do a 4 week preop and it has been really hard! BUT I have lost 12 lbs so far in the two weeks I have been on it, so that is nice.. but I sure do miss chewing! (I do get to eat a little bit for dinner but only a little bit)

How exciting to have some more responses to my post! I need all the support I can get! I am currently in my preop diet stage. Do you all have to do a preop diet? I am on day 11 of my 4 week diet, so far I have lost 11.7 lbs.... but it has been hard!

Marblevsg - Did you get a date yet?

mommidoodle - March 2nd is not far away at all - very exciting!!! are you getting nervous?

Joolie3 - I am new to all this too really, when will you find our your date? Waiting is the hardest!

Graciesmom04 - thanks for the encouragement! What has been hardest so far?

Garifab_vsg - I have been shrinking too in height... I didn't think that happened until we were like 80... BOO! LOL

If any of you are on Facebook, I have found several really great pages... let me know if you are interested and I can hook you up!

I am cheering you all on - pre and post op! We can do this!!!!

I am interested in a FB group Frick!

That is awesome that you were able to have it done on the same day! My husband had to be in hospital for 2 nights so I assume I will have to be in there two days too! I am really looking forward to do this with him. He has done great so far! 4 months yesterday and he is down 55ish!

My husband was sleeved on Sept 30th and he is doing great! Down a total of 55 lbs! I have been so proud of him. I have mine scheduled for March 11 and I am getting so excited! Just curious if there is any other couples out there who have both had it done? Oh we also have 3 kids!

I had my EDG done yesterday. The only thing she found was a small hernia and she will be able to fix that when she does surgery.

awesome -- Momof3InOC lets be buddy's!

awesome - yes lets be buddies! Thanks! Good luck at your appointment. What day are you going? so exciting!

I have considered them all for years, but money and fear I think kept me from moving forward. I really think the sleeve is the best way to go! Yes, lets keep in touch! Excited to have a "date" buddy!

I am so excited!!!! I am so ready to do this! I started considering weight loss surgery about 5 or 6 years ago but wasn't until now that I am finally ready! I am located in South East Kansas, where are you located! I will be cheering for you! So glad to find someone with my same date! (love your user name too!)

Anyone else having surgery on March 11th?

My surgery is March 11th! My husband had it on Sept 30th and is doing great! Good luck to you and your wife as you journey this path together!

My surgery is scheduled for March 11th! I picked this date because of spring break as well. I work in the interlocal office that pays the special ed staff and we get spring break off as well! I am so excited! Wishing you much success and can't wait to hear about your journey!

anyone want to buddy up to encouage and support each other --- just let me know!

My name is Theresa but everyone calls me Tree! I am 42 years old and my surgery is scheduled for March 11th! My husband had his surgery Sept 30th and is down right at 50 lbs. He is losing slow but we are ok with that, he is losing and he has more energy than I have ever seen him have. (currently he is in the other room lifting weights - so proud of him)!!!! Just found this website tonight and so excited to be here! Looking forward to connecting and sharing my progress along the way! So far I have met with surgen, sonogram of gall bladder done, and met with nutrionist. I have psych eval, EDG, and heart clearance to go! Oh and the ever wonderful prediet! So far so good!

My date is March 11th and I am getting it done in South East Kansas (Girard)! Can't wait!
