Food funeral? More like a wake for me! I celebrated all my favs like it was my job...now I'm on day two of liquids and I can't believe how much emotional unnecessary eating I really do! Well, did. That was then....The mental funeral is a lot harder than I thought already! Every day one at a time and never forget why I'm-we- are here in the first place! Stay strong ????

Six months for me, too. Insurance required three months of nutrition/dietician classes (in a row) so from initial attendance at informational meeting in late November, through testing, met with surgeon, classes to now was six months. I scheduled my sleeve for June 8 (2 weeks) although I could have done it late May. Decided to finish school year before surgery! Hang in there...it seems like forever and the BOOM surgery date is right here!

June 8th in Ohio...scared, eager and excited all at the same time!

Thanks...eye on the prize is absolutely a strong motivator! I tell myself it's only food...and too much of it got me here in the first place! ????

Started liquids today...day 1 in the books but I'm scared...how do you keep focused during this stage? I'm 56 and ready to move forward.

I'm 56 and getting sleeved on June 8! Started day 1 of two week liquids today and boy, does it seem real! Good luck don't let age rob you of any more time! ????

I'm 56 and getting sleeved on June 8....better late than never!

What about medicines for type I diabetes like glucophage? Those pills are pretty big...cut in half maybe?

Sounds like a great plan...I'm scheduled for June 8 and have done the same...we English teachers Always overplan, right? Good luck

Congratulations! My surgery date is also JUNE 8! Lots of fears to conquer before then, right? We got this!
