I was sleeved on 11/28 but I did a two week liquid diet prior . I was on a liquid diet during Thanksgiving . I asked the dr could I lick the turkey lol . Anyhow you can do it ! I drank premier shakes and Jello saved my life . I put myself on a schedule . I had decaf tea in am. Because I'm a mom and wife my family still had to eat . So I would make food in the crockpot have my daughter make plates . I would go to my room with my Protein shake and watch the hallmark channel lol . The first two days were rough Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just started my process . Met with surgeon have 3 more weight ins . My psy and nut are sept 3 , cardio sept 2 waiting on a sleep machine from dr office . Have to get my labs done . My surgeon and I discussed a dec date while I'm on winter break . If not I'm going to have to wait until spring recess

I'm wondering how or if you discussed your surgery with your children . I'm a mother of five but two oldest children 17 and 10 are very observant . My oldest I told him I was thinking about it and my 10 year old daughter was looking at my folder that I got from dr office and she was in my room when I was making the appointments for the other doctors. I spoke with her and told her that I was thinking about the surgery . As we were talking she began to tear up and start to cry . When I ask why she was crying she said anything can happen with surgery. I tried to reassure her that everything will be ok but she was still uneasy . How can I put them at ease ?

Dr Holover is going to be my surgeon as well .

Thanks everyone I explained to her my struggles with my weight and she has help me with dieting efforts. But it broke my heart when she started to cry .

Hello all Today was my first visit with my surgeon . So I'm at the beginning stage of my journey. I'm excited and nervous at the same time . I have battled with my weight for the last 10 years and beginning to get progressively worst . As a mother of five I want be around for my children . Aside from being morbidly obese I really don't have any other health issues. I joking call myself the healthiest fat chick I know. I researched this for over a year . I have decided on going with the sleeve as it's better for me and my lifestyle. I am comfortable with my surgeon and his stats. The office staff was very friendly. The host of other doctors is going to be a killer for me because I'm trying to get as much done before September when I go back to work .( I'm a teacher) My insurance company requires 4 month weight loss program which is not as bad as I initially thought considering I only have three more to go . Also my dr said we are looking at a possible date in December which works great for me. Around the break so I don't miss any time from work
