I have a tentative date of 10/5. I have been walking between 3-5 miles a day, and cut out the starches and soda.

Not sure of the date yet, but it'll be sometime in October. For now I'm working on eating well (high Protein and veggies/low carbs) and moving my body more. Also cutting down on caffeine little by little (I'm down to one cup of half caff for now) and cutting back on alcohol (down to once a week or so - I wasn't a heavy drinker before but I usually like a glass of wine with dinner). Here we go!

To prepare - cut out any sodas, sweet tea, etc. Eat Protein and produce. Avoid Pasta, rice, bread. Use smaller plates. Eat slowly - away from distractions like TV. Mindfully eat - chew well and pay attention. The best thing you can do to prepare is get some therapy/help for emotional eating. You may not realize how much food plays a role in your life.

I'm scheduled for 10/12. I'm working on losing some weight between now and the end of September when I'll start the two week pre-op diet. I need to work on cutting out sodas and not drinking while eating. Not to mention trying out Protein shakes to see which ones I will like. I don't think I'm the pre-mixed shake type, but it might just have to do. Oh and I also need to start moving more.....I guess the only thing I've accomplished in the 4 days since I started working on eating less is not drinking alcohol. I guess that's something!! I'm a huge procrastinator, so I know I have to be better at this....

Same boat here. I'm relying heavily on online resources tho. There is so much out there!

My surgery is on October 9, 2016. Two weeks before I will be on a liquid diet. I have started to drink a lot of Water. I am also a heavy smoker and am trying to cut it down before the two weeks which I hope to do 100% smoke free. I'm using my Fitbit watch to ensure I get to walk more.
I don't know what else to eat/do. I am self pay so it was just a matter of setting an appointment for surgery for me. I know others have to wait for 6 months and have time to get into diets etc.
Good luck to you all!

Well done! The life and health you wanted is within your grasp. Good for you that you let no one stand in the way of that. I couldn't be happier for you and inspired by you.
Oh and looking great!!

This is so awesome! My highest weight ever was 302 and I got down to 251 on my own but just struggled with the up and down yo-yo of losing weight then gaining for the past 3 years. food was an addiction to me and I needed help. I started having all of these issues with my health and I was so unhealthy. I'm so happy I got sleeved despite everyone who said I won't look right! I got sleeved 8 22 16, today I went to my follow up and I now weigh 214.6!!! I couldn't help but cry because I haven't seem that number in years! I still have a way to go but I'm so happy I let go of the negative people in my life and finally I'm doimg what makes me happy! I'm taking this journey one pound at a time! I'm just so happy!!
